  • Allegheny Woodrat Research/Management
    PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION BUREAU OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PROJECT ANNUAL PROJECT REPORT PROJECT CODE NO.: 06718 TITLE: Allegheny Woodrat Research/Management JOB CODE NO.: 71801 TITLE: Allegheny Woodrat Surveys PERIOD COVERED: 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 COOPERATING AGENCIES: Pennsylvania Biological Survey Mammal Technical Committee, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, The American Chestnut Foundation. WORK LOCATION: Statewide PREPARED BY: Mike Scafini and Greg Turner DATE: July 6 2017 ABSTRACT: The Allegheny woodrat (Neotoma magister) is classified as a threatened species in Pennsylvania. Numerous islands and corridors of rock in eastern, central, and northwestern Pennsylvania that had supported woodrats are no longer occupied. A slow, continuous decline in the number of occupied sites continues, with several factors hypothesized to be playing a role: the raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) which is lethal to woodrats, loss of the consistent food source provided by the American chestnut (Castanea dentate), and the anthropogenically induced isolation that prevents genetic flow. In 2016, work focused on planting advanced-generation American chestnut seedlings (n=323 total across five counties) at those sites deemed as being important to surviving populations of woodrats. A long-term trapping effort was initiated in 2016 at two sites in Huntingdon County (a rock complex at the Thousand Steps area and Jacks Narrow complex within State Game Land 112 and Jacks Narrows) with a goal to track population trends at these two sites. Twenty traps deployed for 2 nights yielded a single subadult male at the Thousand Steps site. Four woodrats were captured at the Jacks Narrows site, with 3 being adult females and 1 subadult male.
