Inventory of Distribution, Composition, and Relative Abundance of Mammals at Wilson?s Creek National Battlefield
Robbins L. 2005. Inventory of Distribution, Composition, and Relative Abundance of Mammals at Wilson?s Creek National Battlefield
An inventory of the presence/absence of mammals (excluding bats) was conducted at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield from June 16 through June 22 2004. The inventory documented 11 of 48 (23 %) species listed as either present or probably present. Species are typical of tall grass prairies, disturbed grasslands, and oak-hickory sites. No state or federally listed species were observed. The black bear has been documented in nearby areas, and the mountain lion has been reported from the Battlefield, but the sightings have not been confirmed from physical evidence. Further sampling may add to the number of confirmed small mammals and continued observations by park personnel may add to the number of the larger species, especially if road kills on adjacent highways are identified and included.
