Small Mammals: Pests or Vital Components of the Ecosystem
Sieg CH. 1987. Small Mammals: Pests or Vital Components of the Ecosystem. 8th Wildlife Damage Control Workshop. Rapid City, SD
Small mammals regarded as "pests" should not be viewed separately from other components in the ecosystem. Small mammals have signigicant influences on vegetation and soils, exert predatory pressure on other animals, and provide food for predators. Future management efforts should include consideration of these diverse influences.
