Small Mammals Trapping - San Joaquin Valley State Parks [ds403]

This project forms part of an inventory of parks in the San Joaquin Valley documenting the presence and distribution of rare and listed vertebrate species. This information was presented along with historic data from past surveys in assorted parks to help assess the role of State Parks in providing quality habitat for rare and listed vertebrate species in the San Joaquin Valley.

This dataset includes small mammal trapping results in several State Park units, conducted by contracted biologists from the University of California, Davis Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology in November / December 2006 and May 2007. This trapping effort was part of a larger project administered by California State Parks and funded by Bureau of Reclamation that included nine State Park units in the San Joaquin Valley. The data consists of the entire trapping effort at the six park units that were surveyed for small mammals and includes all results during the time period. For Tule Elk State Reserve note that some trap nodes were set outside the boundary of the park unit to serve as a basis for comparison (Engilis et al 2007).
