We assessed whether small-mammal abundance was related to landscape context, when
context was considered independently of within-stand vegetation and at different spatial …

We studied forest cover and use by small mammals in the fall of 2001 and 2002 in patches
of the industrially damaged landscape of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada (46° 30′ N, 81° 00 …

To determine the effects of forest fragmentation on the abundance of small mammals, we
livetrapped at edges and in the interior of forest patches in contiguous, logged, and …

Small mammals such as mice and voles have potential as indicators of sustainable forest
management. They have an important functional role in forests, they are economically …

Alternative silvicultural systems to clearcutting are receiving considerable attention in Pacific
Northwest forests of North America. Understanding the implications of these harvesting …

Silvicultural disturbance can lead to major shifts in biotic and abiotic characteristics of
forests, with significant implications for wildlife. Many studies have demonstrated site …

Most studies of habitat use by small mammals rely on data from trapping grids. Such studies
pertain to habitat use by individuals, which may not reflect population-level requirements. To …

To test the assumption that forest harvesting can maintain wildlife through emulating natural
disturbance, we compared small mammal abundance between seven post-fire and nine …

We examined the response of small-mammal communities to human disturbance along a
gradient from wilderness to managed forest to rural residential development in the …

Habitat loss and fragmentation greatly affect biological diversity. Actions to counteract their
negative effects include increasing the quality, amount and connectivity of seminatural …
