impact of visitors on small mammal communities of Yosemite National Park.
University of California, Davis Institute of Ecology: 44-50.
Abstract
Visitor use of meadow and forest sites in Yosemite National
Park was related to the distribution and abundance of small mammals. Deer
mouse populations apparently increase in response to human use of forested
areas, while mountain vole populations showed no relationship to human
use except for gross habitat alterations such as meadow draining. Data
for other small mammals were insufficient to determine relationships with
human use.
