Small Mammal Survey of National Capital Region Parks
Mcshea WJ and O'Brien C. 2003. Small Mammal Survey of National Capital Region Parks. Center for Urban Ecology
Inventory of small mammals in the National Capital Region of the National Park Service. The purpose of the survey is to describe the distribution and relative abundance of small mammals species in eight parks in the National Capital Region. Our survey protocol was not designed to detect every species that might reside or passage through the park, but rather to test the utility of using small mammals as a monitoring tool for park biodiversity. Our results can provide guidance to individual parks and to the region with regards to the relative abundance and distribution of small mammals, as the protocol was maintained across sites and the sites were sampled over what was essentially the same period of time.
