Habitat Associations of Small Mammals in Seral Stages of Red Spruce in Acadia National Park
Garman SL. 1991. Habitat Associations of Small Mammals in Seral Stages of Red Spruce in Acadia National Park. University of Massachusetts
Trapping of small mammals was conducted monthly. Habitat associations of small mammals were studied by live trapping. Habitat disturbances were computer simulated to examine small mammal responses. 'Macro- and micro-habitat associations of small mammals in several aspen-birch and mature red spruce habitats in Acadia National Park, Maine, were studied by live-trapping during the summers of 1987 and 1988. The aspen-birch habitat was structurally more diverse than the mature conifer habitat; but diversity, richness, and evenness of species of small mammals were not different between habitats.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/
