Summer Resting and Den Site Selection by Eastern Spotted Skunks (spilogale Putorius) in Arkansas
Denning and resting site use by radiocollared eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) in the Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas was investigated from May through August 2005 and 2006. We identified and characterized microhabitat and landscape characteristics of 127 resting and den sites. Sites were located in burrows excavated by other mammal species (48%), in decayed or burned root sys...
متن کاملHabitat Selection and Home Range Dynamics of Eastern Spotted Skunks in the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas, USA
Since the 1940s, eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) have declined dramatically throughout the Midwest. One hypothesis for the decline is the loss of suitable habitat, although little is known about the ecological requirements of this species. To elucidate seasonal home range and habitat selection by eastern spotted skunks, we conducted telemetry-based field work in the Ouachita Mountai...
متن کاملMacrohitbitat factors affect day roost selection by eastern red bats and eastern pipistrelles in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA
Although roost sites are critically important to bats, we have few data on macrohabitat factors that affect roost selection by foliage-roosting bats. Such data are needed so that forest managers can make informed decisions regarding conservation of bat roosts. Our objective was to examine roost selection by nonreproductive eastern pipistrelles (Perimyotis sUbflavus) and red bats (Lasiurus borea...
متن کاملseedlings in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA
The high altitude spruce—fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poiret.—Picea rubens Sarg.) forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains. USA, experience frequent cloud immersion. Recent studies indicate that cloud bases may have risen over the past 30 years, resulting in less frequent forest cloud immersion, and that further increases in cloud base height are likely in the event of continued climate warm...
متن کاملMeasuring Environmental Quality in the Southern Appalachian Mountains
This study presents a method for valuing recreational environmental quality in the forests of the southeastern United States. The paper offers a method for choosing, measuring, and valuing forest attributes. Surveys and popular recreation literature are used to identify forest attributes that contribute to recreational quality. Standard ecological techniques are employed to measure levels of th...
