Spatial Relationships of Rodents in a Sagebrush Community
O'Farrell MJ. 1980. Spatial Relationships of Rodents in a Sagebrush Community. Journal of Mammalogy. 61(4):589-605
Twelve species of nocturnal rodents were studied on a 2.7-ha plot of sagebrush desert in west central Nevada. Species richness appeared to be augmented by food resource allocation, microhabitat selection, temporal partitioning, and the establishment of an interspecific dominance hierarchy.
