Habitat Use and Terrestrial Activity by Red Tree Voles (Arborimus logicaudus) in Oregon
Corn PS and Bury RB. 1986. Habitat Use and Terrestrial Activity by Red Tree Voles (Arborimus logicaudus) in Oregon. Journal of Mammalogy. 67(2):404-406
From the Introduction: "Several species of vertebrates may find optimal habitat for breeding, nesting, or foraging in old-growth (>200 years old) coniferous forests in the Pacific Northwest.... In 1983, we operated arrays of pitfall traps for six months to investigate habitat use by terrestrial herpetofauna and small mammals in four age classes of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest in and near the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Linn and Lane counties, Oregon. Here we report on habitat use by A. longicauds and doucment terrestrial activity for this presumably arboreal species." Of relevance to the old-growth forest habitat within Olympic National Park, WA.
