Excerpt from Reproduction, Population Changes and Interactions of Small Mammals on a Natural Area in Northeastern Kansas
Study plot. The area, House Field near the center of the northwest quarter of the northeasternmost section (4) of Douglas County, township 128, range 2gb, is sloping, 280 to 290 meters elevation, at the base of a south-facing hillside, 320 m long and from 152 m wide at its western end to 43 m wide near its eastern end (figs. 1 and In 1948 it was an open meadow dominated by the introduced pasture grass, Smooth Brome, and had about two dozen scattered large trees, mostly American Elm but with one or more each of Black Walnut, Honey Locust, Osage Orange, and Kentucky Coffee Tree. For many years the area had been heavily grazed by livestock. By late summer of each year little herbaceous vegetation remained. Presumably the area originally had been bluestem prairie, and a few well scattered clumps of Big Bluestem were still present in 1981.

Observing the flux of predator and prey relationships, the author explores how plant succession influences small mammal communities, habitat selection, and spatial relationships between species like the cotton rat and deer mouse. This book provides valuable insights into the complex interactions of small mammal populations in a changing environment.
