Range-wide monitoring of the Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus Agassizii): 2012 annual report
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2014. Range-wide monitoring of the Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus Agassizii): 2012 annual report. Reno, Nevada
The recovery program for the Mojave population of the desert tortoise requires range-wide, long-term monitoring to determine whether recovery goals are met. Specifically, will population trends within recovery units remain stable for a period of 25 years? From 2001 to 2005, the Fish and Wildlife Service monitored desert tortoise populations within 5 of the 6 recovery units (the Upper Virgin River Recovery Unit has been monitored independently by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources) using line distance sampling.
