Habitat selection, survival, and disease risk of semiaquatic mammals in a highly altered landscape
… to summer precipitation for both American mink (Neovison vison) and muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) suggesting a possible climate-change effect. Factors interplaying across multiple scales influenced occupancy dynamics of mink in stream habitats. Stream sites closer to permanent wetlands had …

Survival and space use of riparian muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) within an agroecosystem
… survival because most mortalities were due to mink (Neovison vison) predation along stream edges during non-flooding periods. Muskrat weekly survival was lower in winter (0.9377, SE = 0.1793) than in non-winter (0.9770, SE = 0.0116) and positively related to riparian width. Larger riparian …
