The Shortgrass Prairie Canada Goose Population (Wildlife Monographs, No. 22, May, )Author: JACK R. GREIB. The structure of the small-mammal community differed among the 3 habitat types, with higher species diversity and richness in the tallgrass-prairie and old-field sites.

In the briefest of terms, I’ve been tromping through our Derr sandhills (a unit which includes both restored and remnant prairie on the edge of the Platte River Valley), battling cows, thunderstorms, and a lack of sleep in the pursuit of learning more about the.

Journal of Wildlife Management publishes on wildlife science such as investigations into the biology/ecology of wildlife that has implications for conservation.

Deer Mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were live‐trapped and tracked across a gradient of shrub cover in shortgrass prairie to determine patterns of abundance, microhabitat use and movements. In areas with few shrubs, mice preferred shrub microhabitats and their movement trails were relatively by:   Long-term field studies of small mammals are essential for establishing general, rather than year-specific, patterns of population abundance.

Short-term projects may allow detection of variability in abundance, but long-term ecological studies are necessary to investigate potential factors affecting variability (Matlack et al.

Hoogland draws on sixteen years of research at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, in the United States to provide this account of prairie dog social h comparisons with more than other animal species, he offers new insights into basic theory in behavioral ecology and by: This study investigated effects of a prescribed burn on the small mammal community and vegetative cover in a tallgrass prairie remnant in east central Texas.

Small mammals were live-trapped 8 mo before and 8 mo after a prescribed burn. Vegetation sampling confirmed drastic reduction of cover after fire in the grassland sections of the prairie.

Prairie dogs did not live long. Survivorship of females in the 1st year was Gunnison's, and Utah prairie dogs (Figs. 1 and 2).Cited by: supports populations of several small mammal species. We wished to learn if grazing was affecting small mammal populations and species distribution amongst either grazed or ungrazed (i.e.

cattle exclusion) sites. Cattle were placed on LCCWA during October of andand they continued to graze through the first week of the following January.

Abstract. Understanding determinants of local species diversity remains central to developing plans to preserve biodiversity. In the continental United States, climate, grazing by large mammals, fire, and topography are important ecosystem drivers that structure North American tallgrass prairie, with major impacts on plant community composition and vegetation structure.

Few comprehensive studies of riparian small-mammal communities have been conducted (Boeer and Schmidly, ). The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that riparian environments provide superior habitat for small mammals in montane areas.

To investigate this hypothesis, I evaluated differ. You can write a book review and share your experiences.
