Formation And Contents Of Yellow-Pine Chipmunk (Tamias Amoenus) Winter Larders, Kellie M. Kuhn, Stephen B. Vander Wall Oct 2009

Formation And Contents Of Yellow-Pine Chipmunk (Tamias Amoenus) Winter Larders, Kellie M. Kuhn, Stephen B. Vander Wall

Western North American Naturalist

Despite much attention to the foraging habits and hibernation patterns of food-storing mammals, little is known about the contents of winter larders under natural conditions or how animals prepare a winter larder. Here we describe the contents of 15 yellow-pine chipmunk (Tamias amoenus) winter larders from 3 different years and describe the movement of scatter-hoarded seeds into larders. We found larders by locating 14 radio-collared chipmunks in their winter dens. One additional larder was found by tracking the movement of seeds labeled with radioactive scandium-46 from scattered caches into the larder. Chipmunks formed winter dens and rapidly provisioned …


Distribution Records And Comments On Mammals In Western South Dakota, Steven G. Platt, Zannita Fast Horse, Thomas R. Rainwater, Stanlee M. Miller Oct 2009

Distribution Records And Comments On Mammals In Western South Dakota, Steven G. Platt, Zannita Fast Horse, Thomas R. Rainwater, Stanlee M. Miller

Western North American Naturalist

The mammal fauna of western South Dakota is imperfectly known; in particular there is a notable paucity of data from Indian reservations in the region. We collected mammals from January 2003 through May 2006 using a variety of standard methodologies, including trapping with snap-traps and Macabee traps, shooting, and salvaging road- and hunter-killed animals. Herein we provide 23 specimen-based county records representing 17 species of mammals. In addition, a photo record constitutes the first report of Dasypus novemcinctus from South Dakota and the northernmost record in the United States. The possible local extirpation of Marmota flaviventris in the southern Black …


New Record And Southern Range Extension For The Mearn's Grasshopper Mouse (Onychomys Arenicola Mearns, 1896) In Veracruz, Mexico, Alvar González-Christen, Christian Alejandro Delfín-Alfonso, Alberto González-Romero Oct 2009

New Record And Southern Range Extension For The Mearn's Grasshopper Mouse (Onychomys Arenicola Mearns, 1896) In Veracruz, Mexico, Alvar González-Christen, Christian Alejandro Delfín-Alfonso, Alberto González-Romero

Western North American Naturalist

Mearn's grasshopper mouse (Onychomys arenicola) in Mexico is found primarily in the central and northern states. This is the first report of the genus Onychomys in the state of Veracruz, based on 7 captured specimens (3 collected). This finding extends the species' known distribution by approximately 470 km east-southeast. In addition, this record increases the alpha diversity of terrestrial mammals for the state of Veracruz to 192 species.


Diel Use Of Water By Reintroduced Bighorn Sheep, Jericho C. Whiting, R. Terry Bowyer, Jerran T. Flinders Oct 2009

Diel Use Of Water By Reintroduced Bighorn Sheep, Jericho C. Whiting, R. Terry Bowyer, Jerran T. Flinders

Western North American Naturalist

Water sources are an important habitat component for populations of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), and the technique of sampling at water sources has been used extensively to study behaviors and estimate parameters of bighorn populations. Little is known, however, concerning the time of day at which groups of bighorns visit water. Understanding when bighorns visit water sources will allow wildlife investigators to conduct sampling when bighorns are most likely to be present at this resource. We quantified use of 7 water sources by reintroduced bighorn sheep during summer 2005 and 2006 on Antelope Island State Park, Utah. Our …

Burrow Occupancy Patterns Of The Western Burrowing Owl In Southern Nevada, Paul D. Greger, Derek B. Hall Oct 2009

Burrow Occupancy Patterns Of The Western Burrowing Owl In Southern Nevada, Paul D. Greger, Derek B. Hall

Western North American Naturalist

Understanding long-term patterns of burrow occupancy for the Western Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) is necessary for the conservation of this species, especially in arid, desert ecosystems where burrow occupancy data are lacking. Monthly burrow monitoring was conducted over a 4-year period (1997–2001) in southern Nevada to determine burrow occupancy patterns of Burrowing Owls and to evaluate the effects of burrow type and desert region on burrow occupancy. Burrow occupancy occurred year-round and was most consistent in the Transition region and tended to be lowest in the Mojave Desert region. Peak burrow occupancy occurred during March through May, …


Effects Of Simulated Mountain Lion Caching On Decomposition Of Ungulate Carcasses, Zachary Bischoff-Mattson, David Mattson Oct 2009

Effects Of Simulated Mountain Lion Caching On Decomposition Of Ungulate Carcasses, Zachary Bischoff-Mattson, David Mattson

Western North American Naturalist

Caching of animal remains is common among carnivorous species of all sizes, yet the effects of caching on larger prey are unstudied. We conducted a summer field experiment designed to test the effects of simulated mountain lion (Puma concolor) caching on mass loss, relative temperature, and odor dissemination of 9 prey-like carcasses. We deployed all but one of the carcasses in pairs, with one of each pair exposed and the other shaded and shallowly buried (cached). Caching substantially reduced wastage during dry and hot (drought) but not wet and cool (monsoon) periods, and it also reduced temperature and …


The Effects Of Varied Densities On The Growth And Emigration Of Adult Cutthroat Trout And Brook Trout In Fenced Stream Enclosures, David J. Buys, Robert H. Hilderbrand, Jeffrey L. Kershner Oct 2009

The Effects Of Varied Densities On The Growth And Emigration Of Adult Cutthroat Trout And Brook Trout In Fenced Stream Enclosures, David J. Buys, Robert H. Hilderbrand, Jeffrey L. Kershner

Western North American Naturalist

We evaluated the effects of various density treatments on adult fish growth and emigration rates between Bonneville cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki utah and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in stream enclosures in Beaver Creek, Idaho. We used 3 density treatments (low, ambient, and high fish densities) to evaluate density-related effects and to ensure a response. Intraspecific ambient-density tests using cutthroat trout only were also performed. Results indicated an absence of cage effects in the stream enclosures and no differences in fish growth between ambient-density stream-enclosure fish and free-range fish. Brook trout outgrew and moved less than cutthroat trout in the stream …


A Histological Study Of The Primary Gonadal Tissue Of An Antlerless Buck Mule Deer (Odocoileus Hemionus), Richard Heckmann Oct 2009

A Histological Study Of The Primary Gonadal Tissue Of An Antlerless Buck Mule Deer (Odocoileus Hemionus), Richard Heckmann

Western North American Naturalist

An antlerless mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) was collected on 2 December 1992 from an established Oak Creek mule deer herd 2 miles north of Oak City, Utah (Utah Wildlife Receipt #027604). Upon examination, the animal had prominent male genitalia with hair rubbed off from the pedicle part of the skull. Tissue examination revealed active spermatogenesis and viable sperm in the lumen of the epididymis and testis. Antlerless male deer have been reported previously in this area, but this is the first histological study of the abnormal deer. Lack of antlers would be advantageous for male deer during the …

Stormwater Management Database For The City Of Dover, New Hampshire, Raymond E. Grizzle, Krystin M. Ward Oct 2009

Stormwater Management Database For The City Of Dover, New Hampshire, Raymond E. Grizzle, Krystin M. Ward

PREP Reports & Publications

The overall goal of the project was to make a significant contribution to the Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership goal of increasing oyster (Crassostrea virginica) bottom in New Hampshire, and to do so using methods that positively affect multiple species. The focus was on those organisms (mainly macroalgae, invertebrates, and fish) that spend most of their time on oyster reefs—the resident species. A 0.5 hectare (1.25 acres) area was restored in August 2007 by constructing twelve mini-reefs (each ~6 m in diameter) in an area protected from harvest using spat-on-shell (“spat seeding”) from remotely set larvae. There was a consistent trend …
