Small mammal communities and habitat selection in Northern Rocky Mountain bunchgrass: Implications for exotic plant invasions
Pearson DE, Ortega YK, McKelvey KS, Ruggiero LF. 2001. Small mammal communities and habitat selection in Northern Rocky Mountain bunchgrass: Implications for exotic plant invasions. Northwest Science. 25(2):107-117
Small mammals were live trapped along transects to study community composition, relative abundance, and habitat relationships in three native bunchgrass sites of west-central Montana. This study provides baseline data for understanding pre-settlement small mammal communities in the dwindling, native bunchgrass habitats of the Northern Rocky Mountains. Glacier National Park was part of the study group.
