Control of Ground Squirrels in California Using Anticoagulant Treated Baits
Anticoagulant treated grain baits have been used to control vertebrate pest depredations in California for over 30 years. The use of anticoagulant treated baits has increased seven (7) times in the past seven (7) years; the majority for the use of ground squirrel, Spermophilus spp., control. Since 1968-69, an average of 1,747,828 net over 5,700,919 gross acres per year has been treated for grou...
متن کاملThe Effects of Livestock on California Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyii )
Understanding the impacts of livestock grazing on wildlands is important for making appropriate ecosystem management decisions. Using livestock exclosures, we examined the effects of moderate cattle grazing on the abundance of California ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyii Richardson) and the spatial distribution of active burrows within their colonies in grassland and blue oak (Quercus do...
متن کاملWhy Male Ground Squirrels Disperse
When they are about two months old, male Belding’s develop the idea that natal dispersal, like other behaviors ground squirrels (Spermophilus beldingi) leave the burrow and phenotypic attributes, can be understood from mulwhere they were born, never to return. Their sisters tiple, complementary perspectives. Separating these levbehave quite differently, remaining near home throughels of analysi...
متن کاملThe Influence of Cattle Grazing on California Ground Squirrels in a Blue Oak Savanna1
This experiment compared California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) activity on replicated grazed and ungrazed pastures in a blue oak (Quercus douglasii) savanna. During the 4-year study, squirrel activity, measured as the number of active burrows, generally declined in grazed and ungrazed pastures without oak canopy. Squirrel activity declined least in grazed pastures with blue oak can...
متن کاملThe effects of wind turbines on antipredator behavior in California ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyi)
Electricity-generating wind turbines are an attractive energy source because they are renewable and produce no emissions. However, they have at least two potentially damaging ecological effects. Their rotating blades are hazardous to raptors which occasionally fly into them. And wind turbines are very noisy when active, a feature that may interfere with the lives of animals beneath them. We stu...
