A summary of much of the experimental work on the spatial ecology of small mammals. This field has entered an exciting stage with such new techniques as GIS and systems modeling becoming available. Leading contributors describe and analyze the most well-known case studies and provide new insights into how landscape patterns and processes have had an impact on small mammals and how small mammals have, in turn, affected landscape structure and composition.

This book explores the latest ideas about landscapes as they apply to mammalian ecology and conservation. The Contributors examine mammalian field studies and experimental model systems to landscape ecology, and then present data on the use of such experimental protocols. With its international perspective and incisive coverage, this volume will be an essential resource for anyone concerned with mammalian and landscape ecology.

We report on the status and behaviors of grasslands small mammals existing in Camp Dodge, Iowa. Although Camp Dodge is one of the few places left in central Iowa containing relatively large intact pieces of grasslands, it is still affected by direct and indirect human interference. Pressure to clear and row-crop so much for the agricultural practices increases stress on the native flora and fauna. Unless we pay attention to Iowa's rapidly diminishing natural habitats, the state's unique blend of flora and fauna will be lost forever. Because the world is composed of landscapes, spatial mosaics are the focus of landscape ecology. From an ecological perspective, landscape ecology offers a way to consider environmental heterogeneity or "patchiness" in spatially explicit terms. As we lose more contiguous natural habitats through anthropogenic processes, analyzing species movement patterns and behaviors is essential to interpreting their response to habitat fragmentation. We use the landscape ecology approach to look at the behavioral ecology of small grassland mammals in a fragmented landscape.

The ability of small mammals to exploit environmental resources, based upon a rapid adaptation to short-term changes in population and/or the environment, as well as to a variety of local conditions, implies a strong impact upon natural resources. The role played by small mammal consumers in the flow of energy within natural and man-modified ecosystems is therefore of equal importance to that of larger, longer-lived species which have been studied more intensively. This volume, first published in 1975, looks at small mammal populations with emphasis being placed on their ecology and energy dynamics. It discusses the most productive research techniques and research objectives. The second part of the book deals with the roles of small mammals in ecosystems ranging from the tropics to the tundra and special consideration is given to the impact of rodents on man. Research workers in the fields of mammalogy and ecology will find this an essential book and agriculturists, foresters and anyone concerned professionally with the control of small mammals will find much that is of value to their work.

If you’re thinking of Jason and the Argonauts, think again. In this book, the golden mouse is used as a model to explore conceptual issues in ecology across all levels of organization from organism to landscape, integrating reductionist and holistic ecological science. Through intensive study of a single species, the authors demonstrate biological and ecological information applicable to many fields, including conservation and resource management.
