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.

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.

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.

The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the population status of golden mice in eastern Texas, and (2) to determine the role of nest site selection in niche segregation. No evidence of arboreal nesting in golden mice was found during the summer months. However, significant levels of arboreal nest use were recorded during winter months. The role of competition in the nesting ecology of golden mice has received little attention. The lack of ground-level structural diversity in eastern Texas forests in conjunction with seasonal flooding may cause terrestrial nest locations to become a limiting resource among small mammals during winter months. We hypothesize that an increased competition for suitable terrestrial nest locations due to seasonal flooding may be one of several factors that initiate a habitat shift in the smaller, less aggressive golden mouse.
