Abstract

The range of the northern pygmy mouse (Baiomys taylori) continues to expand through Texas and into adjacent states. We report a new record for B. taylori in Hunt County, near its poorly understood northeastern limit in Texas. This record, together with results from other recent surveys, suggests that the northern pygmy mouse might only now be realizing the extent of range projected in the literature >25 years ago.
