Distribution and habitat: the term "transition zone" (why upper case?) needs clarification. The page Transition zone is a disambiguation page, but none of the sense listed there seem applicable here. --Stfg (talk) 15:29, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
The term came out of the book Mammals and Life Zones of Oregon, but I do not think that it is in regular use, so I will think of something to take its place. Thank you for working on this article. --Gaff (talk) 15:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
