Survey for Endangered and Threatened Mammals at Gettysburg National Military Park and The Eisenhower National Historic Site
ISBN: 9781492917410 / Angielski / Miękka / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During May 2004 to October 2005, small mammal surveys were conducted in Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site to determine what federal or state threatened or endangered small mammal species may occur within the two park units. Survey transects consisting of 20 to 25 stations, each containing a single pitfall container and either three or four Museum Special(r) snaptraps, were established at 10 sites within both park units. The survey sites selected were areas which would likely support populations of the least shrew, Cryptotis parva, a species listed as...

Flying Squirrel Distribution and Habitat Use at Mount Rushmore National Memorial
ISBN: 9781492917519 / Angielski / Miękka / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) is a well-known yet rarely seen species. It is renowned for its ability to glide long distances. However, little is known about the specie's status and ecology throughout much of its range due in large part to it being a non-game animal, an animal that is rarely viewed as a pest, and its nocturnal behavior.

Protecting Resources: Assessing Visitor Harvesting of Wild Morel Mushrooms in Two National Capital Region Parks
ISBN: 9781492947776 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mushrooms constitute a major group of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) harvested by people worldwide. Wild edible fungi are collected for food in more than 80 countries (Pieroni et al. 2005). Research on NTFP harvesters suggests that people engage in these activities for a variety of reasons: to earn income, to meet subsistence needs, to maintain lifeways and a sense of identity, and to strengthen intergenerational ties.
