Sciurid habitat relationships in forests managed under selection and shelterwood silviculture in Ontario
Article Abstract:
The habitat relationships of sciurid rodents and eastern chipmunks are examined at 2 spatial scales in managed and unmanaged coniferous and hardwood forests of Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. It is found that northern flying squirrel and red squirrel densities were lower in managed than in unmanaged strands, southern flying squirrel densities were higher in selection-harvested strands than in old forest areas, and eastern chipmunk has positive correlation with the volume of old downed woody debris.

Evaluation of factors potentially influencing a desert Bighorn Sheep population
Article Abstract:
A desert bighorn sheep (Ovis Canadensis) population in Mazatzal Mountains in central Arizona and population induces on references areas between 1989 and 2003 is studied. No evidence was found that bobcats or coyotes preyed on or scavenged desert bighorn sheep. Decline of desert bighorn sheep abundance during 1994-1997 was greater than declines on reference areas lacking mountain lions despite continually higher, and a lesser decline in, winter rainfall on the primary study area.

Characteristics of Ponderosa pine snag roosts used by reproductive bats in northern Arizona
Article Abstract:
Land managers know the importance of ensuring that nesting habitat for birds is available, but are less aware of the roosts needed by forest bats. Most North American bat species produce offspring just once a year and the pregnant females form maternity roosts to raise their young. A new study investigates the habitat choice of pregnant female bats in the Arizonian ponderosa pine forests. Details of the study are presented.
