Rodhouse T, St. John AD, Garrett L. 2004. 2002-2003 Vertebrate Inventory, John Day Fossil Beds Monument. Subagreement No. 20; Cooperative Agreement No. CA9000-95-018
The 2002-2003 John Day Fossil Beds National Monument vertebrate inventory developed species lists and additional information on birds, mammals, and herpetofauna in the John Day Fossil Beds of eastern Oregon. Fish were not included in the vertebrate inventory. Information on this vertebrate class is being assembled from recent state survey data. The University of Idaho Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources conducted the 2002-2003 inventory under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service Northern Semi-Arid Network in partial fulfillment of the first phase of the Natural Resource Challenge Inventory and Monitoring Program. The primary goal of the inventory was to confirm 90% of the species expected to occur in the monument. Additional goals included developing baseline data for monitoring as well as providing the National Park Service and the research community-at-large with new and important information on the biodiversity of the region.
