Mueller JM. 2011. Mammals of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River downstream of Big Bend National Park: 2008 final report. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/CHDN/NRTR—2011/490. National Park Service, Natural Resource Stewardship and Science. Fort Collins, Colorado
This mammal inventory was initiated by the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program at the Chihuahuan Desert Network. Fieldwork was conducted by James Mueller (and associates) of Sul Ross State University, Alpine, Texas, from 3 September 2004 to 29 July 2005. The purpose of this study was to survey the mammal fauna in selected riparian habitats along the Rio Grande from the eastern border of Big Bend National Park in Brewster County, downstream through Terrell County. This section of the river flows through the rugged limestone canyons of the Stockton Plateau, and is commonly referred to as the Lower Canyons. Access to most of the Lower Canyons is limited to multi-day float trips.
