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 ).
