Range: The distribution of the Siberian chipmunk includes the Korean Peninsula, but this species does not inhabit the remote islands (Fig. 114). The population on Jeju Island originated from pets released in the 1980s that became invasive residents (Jo et al. 2014).
Remarks: Two subspecies of Siberian chipmunks, E. s. barberi Johnson and Jones 1955 and E. s. orientalis (Bonhote, 1899) have been proposed to occur in Korea. The latter only inhabits the extreme northeastern peninsula, whereas, the former occurs across all the Korean Peninsula. Obolenskaya et al. (2009) suggested E. s. sibiricus inhabited the extreme northeast Korean Peninsula, Russia, Mongolia, Hokkaido and northeast China. We concur that two subspecies, E. s. sibiricus and E. s. barberi, occur in Korea (Koh et al. 2010b). The Korean subspecies E. s. barberi was imported and introduced in Europe as a pet where it became an invasive species (Jo et al. 2014).
