Distribution and Habitat Partitioning of Two Skink Species on the Nevada National Security Site in South-central Nevada

Two skink species are known to occur on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) in south-central Nevada. The western red-tailed skink (WRTS) (Plestiodon gilberti rubricaudatus) is on the Nevada Natural Heritage Program’s “Animal and Plant At-Risk Tracking List” while the Great Basin skink (GBS) (Plestiodon skiltonianus utahensis) is not. Information about both species is lacking, especially for Nevada. Historically (i.e., prior to 2006) on the NNSS, WRTS were known from five locations (Boone and Sowell 1999; Medica et al. 1990; unpublished data) and GBS were known from seven locations (MVZUCB 2015; Tanner and Jorgensen 1963; Woodward 1993; unpublished data) (Fig. 1). The main objective of this study was to determine the distribution, abundance, and habitat use of the WRTS and GBS on the NNSS.
