Relative Populations of Small Mammals in Three Forest Types of Northeastern California
Mckeever S. 1961. Relative Populations of Small Mammals in Three Forest Types of Northeastern California. Ecology. 42(2):399-402
Excerpts: "In studies on the biology of small forest mammals, relative populations of various species in 3 types of coniferous forest were determined from January through December, 1958. Studies were made on 4 areas, two in ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine and fir represented by one area each. [All 4 study sites were located within Lassen National Forest, adjacent to Lassen Volcanic National Park]. A census of small mammals was made at least once a month in each of the 3 types. Snap traps were set in a line with trap stations at 50-foot intervals." The results include information on percent trap success and the predominant species caught.
