Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 262 specimens collected within 10 miles of Yoder between 1893 and 1975: 243 Animalia, 18 Fungi, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adler, K. K., Amstutz, K., Bezdek, H. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
