| A CHECKLIST OF THE VERTEBRATE ANIMALS OF KANSAS Third (Revised) Edition vi + 50 pages Authors: George D. Potts & Joseph T. Collins
Seven hundred and ninety-eight kinds of vertebrate animals are now known to occur (or to
have once occurred) in Kansas, an increase of fifty-two species (approximately 6.5% of the
total fauna) since this list was first issued in 1991. This checklist compiles and orga¬nizes
the Phylum Chordata all in one booklet to provide ready access to the standard common
names and current scientific names of mammals, birds, reptiles, turtles, amphibians, and
fishes found in the state. The checklist is di¬vided into a traditional hierarchy of Classes,
Orders, Families, Genera and species, and the arrangement of these groups in this list is
fully supported by current molecular evidence. Non-native species are clearly noted with
an asterisk. Endangered, threatened, and extirpated species are noted with an E, T, or X,
respectively. This publication is a must for biology and science teachers (elementary, high
school, and college), environmental consultants and their firms, biologists with federal and
state wildlife agencies, conservation and wildlife groups, zoo and museum personnel,
legislators, outdoor writers and authors, and anyone else needing to know the correct
spelling of a scientific name or the standardized common name of any vertebrate animal
found in Kansas.
