Small mammal pollination in Protea Witzenbergiana
… occurs in the winter and the plants occur in small, localized and isolated stands in the Witzenberg fynbos. However, the species has never been investigated as to whether it is pollinated by small mammals. This study investigated whether the plant is rodent-pollinated, and if so to what extent …

Community ecology of small-mammal pollinated proteas
The floral characteristics of small-mammal pollinated (SMP) Protea species have been assessed in a number of previous studies. This study aimed to determine whether the inflorescences of Protea canaliculata, Protea sulphurea and Protea humiflora possess these traits and are pollinated by small …

Small Mammal Survey of Wind Cave National Park
… 100 years old, during this time no parkwide small mammal survey has been conducted. The purpose of this research project was to conduct a biodiversity survey of the small mammal community that inhabits WCNP. For this study, small mammals are defined as those mammals which weigh less than 4.54 …

Small Mammal Habitat Associations in a Fragmented Agricultural Landscape
The purpose of this research was to examine how small mammals select habitats in a fragmented agricultural landscape in southeast Georgia. I captured small mammals at 71 trap sites within 33 locations in Bulloch and Candler Counties, Georgia. Prior to trapping, each site was classified based on …

Small mammal demographics in North Dakota conservation reserve program plantings
… capture-recapture methods were used to de~ermine small mammal demographics and population dynamics in Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) plantings in north central North Dakota. Four age classes (1-4 years) of CRP plantings were sampled. Small mammal species diversity was low (H'=0.057-0.374). …

Small mammal use of abandoned surface mines in southwestern Virginia
… of 1976 to determine relationships between small mammal diversity and abundance and select vegetation and site factors. Eleven species of mammals were captured during four, six-night trapping periods. Peromyscus leucopus noveboracensis and P. maniculatus nubiterrae were the most abundant and …

Examination of small mammal diversity in the riparian areas of Walden, Tennessee
Vanderbilt, Forrest B. Examination of Small Mammal Diversity in the Riparian Areas of Walden, Tennessee Thesis under the direction of Robert D. Keller, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology It has been hypothesized that riparian zones are prime conservation habitats and can be used as indicators of …

EFFECT OF COVER ON SMALL MAMMAL ABUNDANCE AND MOVEMENT THROUGH WILDLIFE UNDERPASSES
… on top of an overpass is critical. For instance, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and many invertebrates may avoid open areas because they require cover (e.g., live vegetation, tree stumps, branches, or rocks) to reduce predation risk and because of the microhabitat it provides (e.g., …

Ecological Factors Associated With Songbird and Small Mammal Predation by Texas Ratsnakes
… snakes chose habitats based on prey abundance (small mammals and birds) was only weakly supported. Snakes were only selective during winter when foraging was at a minimum and did not shift habitats to target birds' nests during the bird breeding season. Additionally, snakes predominantly ate …

Small mammal faunal stasis in Natural Trap Cave (Pleistocene-Holocene), Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming
… for. Here I use the herbivorous and omnivorous small mammal fauna (50%). The likely cause for the local stasis in Natural Trap Cave is distance from the modern northern and southern edges of the member taxa distributions, a reflection of their broad range of adaptation. North-south oriented …

Effects of Prescribed Burns on Small Mammal Populations with Comments on Houston Toad Populations
… throughout the park. For my study, I conducted a small mammal survey to determine mammal diversity and relative abundance data in burned and unburned management units. The objectives of the study involve comparing diversity and relative abundance of small mammal (indicator species) and herptile …

Investigation of how vegetation, small mammal interactions, and land-use determine blacklegged tick abundance
… distribution of ticks is dependent on both small-scale and regional-scale ecological interactions. The landscape-level land use mosaic can structure what habitats ticks and their hosts are found in: within those habitats, a moist microclimate provided by ample vegetative cover is necessary …

Small mammal and herpetofauna communities and habitat associations in foothills of the Chihuahuan Desert
Small mammal and herpetofauna habitat associations, communities, and habitat characteristics were sampled from 6 habitats associated with foothills of the Sacramento Mountains near the northern limit of the Chihuahuan Desert. Sampled habitats included arroyos and adjacent uplands under 3 conditions …

Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China
… investigates the spatial distributions of small mammal species which actas intermediate host vectors for the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, whichcauses a significant burden of human disease in western China. Small mammal distributionsare modelled in relation to landscape …

Small mammal communities on a reclaimed mountaintop mine/valley fill landscape in southern West Virginia
… form of strip mining whose effects on small mammals had not previously been examined. Small mammals were captured by Sherman trap and drift fence array (pitfall and funnel traps) on 3 treatments representing the mined landscape and intact forests representing the unmined condition. …

Assessment of small mammal populations in two Southeastern forests of Big Ridge in Chattanooga, TN
… conducted to test for effects of urbanization on small mammal abundance and diversity. Preliminary studies were preformed to test sampling techniques and acquire a sample size estimate for the primary study. Sampling sites were chosen in old growth and mixed hardwood forest areas. Six day sampling …
