DescriptionExtant and historical distribution of the plains rat across Australia.jpg
English: A distribution map of the historical and extant populations of the plains rat within Australia. This map includes the plain rat's predicted extant distribution (1980-2018) and historical distribution (pre-1980). It also provides the specific locations of sub-fossil bone material and the locations of individuals recorded outside of the predicted extant distribution (1963-2018).
Key:
Navy blue: Accepted extant distribution (post-1980)
Light blue: Accepted historical distribution (pre-1980)
Orange dots: Locations of discovered sub-fossil bone material
Green dots: Locations of individuals recorded outside of the accepted extant distribution (1993-2018)
