Effects of Landscape Manipulation on Population Densities, Habitat Utilization, Home Ranges, and Movements of Three Small Mammal Species
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:807892
No significant differences were found in the population densities of any species in experimentally fragmented landscape. However, trends in population densities indicate that connected patches usually support higher densities of cotton rats, isolated patches supported higher densities of old-field mice. No significant trends in population densities were observed for cotton mice. Cotton mice were captured more often in corridors, while old-field mice were captured more frequently in the interior. Results suggest landscape fragmentation has less of an effect on cotton mice-a habitat generalist.
