Report solicited by the MEDN Inventory and Monitoring Program as part of the Deer Mouse monitoring program review. Long term monitoring of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus subsp.) has occurred at multiple sites on Anacapa Island, Santa Barbara Island, and San Miguel Island since 1992. Sites sampled on each island consisted of non-randomly placed permanent trapping grids, and were usually sampled during the spring and fall seasons. In a few cases summer and winter sampling also occurred. Mice at monitoring sites were sampled using capture-recapture methods, which allow for estimation of detection probabilities and bias-corrected density estimates. In this report I present density estimates for each site × season × year combination, and model and estimate temporal trends and average annual rates of change in density for these data alone and in aggregate.
