Monitoring and Understanding Mammal Assemblages: Experiences From Bending Lake, Fallingsnow, and Tom Hill

Abstract: We monitored mammal assemblages in treatment areas in three studies, two involving competition control (with live capture) in Ontario and one involving commercial thinning (with snow tracking) in Alberta. Abundant and opportunistic species were relatively unaffected by treatments, while species preferring open habitats or a dense shrub layer thrived in herbicide-treated and thinned areas, respectively. A few populations declined, but returned to levels in reference areas within two years of treatment. Most pop… Show more

“…Notably, since small mammal populations may fluctuate vastly and unpredictably year-to-year for a variety of reasons (Morris 2005), many years of monitoring or complex designs may be required to detect effects. McLaren et al (2011) report on the dynamics of small mammal and snowshoe hare populations within three longer-term silvicultural studies. Their results suggest that abundant and opportunistic species with wide habitat tolerances were relatively unaffected by variation in the type of vegetation management treatment, while species preferring open habitats thrived in herbicide-treated areas,.…”
