Singer FJ and Gudorf MA. 1999. Restoration of Bighorn Sheep Metapopulations in and Near 15 National Parks: Conservation of a Severely Fragmented Species - Volume II: Synopsis of Research Findings.

This report is the second of three volumes describing a seven-year regional initiative to conduct research and population studies of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) and to plan and carry out restoration plans, in the national parks of the former Rocky Mountain Region (now the Intermountain and Midwest Regions). The Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey (BRD) provided scientific advice and research coordination for the NPS restoration. The research studies were conducted by scientists from the BRD (formerly NBS) (11 research studies), from the National Park Service (NPS), from universities (University of Wyoming - 2 studies, University of Colorado - 1, Colorado State University - 2, University of California, White Mountain Center -1, Northern Arizona University - 1, Montana State University -1), and by state agency veterinarians. This volume presents abstracts from these research studies. Volume 3 of this series presents the full research reports. Volume 1 presents the planning, problem definition, key findings and restoration process.
