Small Mammal Surveys on Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument Final Report
Pearson DE, Socie KA, Ruggiero LF. 2006. Small Mammal Surveys on Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument Final Report
The current report provides the results of a small mammal survey conducted on Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument (LBB) in the summers of 2002 and 2003. The primary objective of this study was to survey the small mammals of LBB in an effort to achieve a 90% inventory of the small mammal communities there. Given the potentially high species richness and the potential rarity of some prospective community members, we conducted intensive sampling throughout LBB using a range of trapping techniques to ensure that the suite of traps provided the most effective means of sampling the entire small mammal community. Additionally, the use of snap traps and pitfalls provided voucher specimens for identification purposes.
