Eleven species had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT database (Table
211). No species are classified as threatened. Exclusion of these poorly recorded
species eliminates 127 records. The small number of remaining species and limited
information available for many makes it difficult to determine whether any patterns
exist within the different reservation categories.
