Book Description
This study answered the question of when seasonally rodents have the greatest impact on a restored tallgrass prairie plant community. Five complementary experimental methods were used spanning an entire year: cafeteria trials, plant identification using DNA analyses, trap lines, exclosures and enclosures. In combination my research suggests small mammals could potentially influence prairie plant diversity during a narrow seasonal window of late summer. Additionally, an unexpected appearance of a short-tail weasel population reduced rodent population size, possibly acting to mitigate rodent impacts on prairie plant communities.
