Kendeigh 1947, 1948, Munroe 1956). There is a broad overlap or fusion between the boreal and montane forest biociations in the northern Rockies where species of one biociation penetrate into the other (Rand 1945, Drury 1953). Characteristic mammals that occur generally through the boreal and pine-hemlock forests, in addi- tion to those listed in the above section, are: Arctic shrew Masked shrew Smoky shrew Pigmy shrew Star-nosed mole Hoary bat Least chipmunk Northern bog lemming Capper's red-backed mouse Ungava phenacomys Rock vole Meadow jumping mouse Woodland jumping mouse American marten Fisher P'rmine Least weasel Wolverine I .ynx Moose Woodland caribou.
