Demography and ecology of declining endemic: the Olympic marmot
Griffin SC. 2007. Demography and ecology of declining endemic: the Olympic marmot. University of Montana
From the Abstract: 'The Olympic marmots (Marmota olympus) are ground-dwelling squirrels that inhabit high-elevation meadows almost exclusively within Olympic National Park. Despite this protection, anecdotal reports in the 1990's of disappearances from historically occupied locations suggested that the species was in decline. I used demographic monitoring, habitat surveys, and non-invasive genetic sampling to evaluate population status of the species and consider the effects of several possible stressors."
