  • Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management
    Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment for the Use of Wildlife Damage Management Methods by USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services Chapter I Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management MAY 2017 Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) Program completed Risk Assessments for methods used in wildlife damage management in 1992 (USDA 1997). While those Risk Assessments are still valid, for the most part, the WS Program has expanded programs into different areas of wildlife management and wildlife damage management (WDM) such as work on airports, with feral swine and management of other invasive species, disease surveillance and control. Inherently, these programs have expanded the methods being used. Additionally, research has improved the effectiveness and selectiveness of methods being used and made new tools available. Thus, new methods and strategies will be analyzed in these risk assessments to cover the latest methods being used. The risk assements are being completed in Chapters and will be made available on a website, which can be regularly updated. Similar methods are combined into single risk assessments for efficiency; for example Chapter IV contains all foothold traps being used including standard foothold traps, pole traps, and foot cuffs. The Introduction to Risk Assessments is Chapter I and was completed to give an overall summary of the national WS Program. The methods being used and risks to target and nontarget species, people, pets, and the environment, and the issue of humanenss are discussed in this Chapter. From FY11 to FY15, WS had work tasks associated with 53 different methods being used.

  • Life History Account for Townsend's Mole
    California Wildlife Habitat Relationships System California Department of Fish and Wildlife California Interagency Wildlife Task Group TOWNSEND'S MOLE Scapanus townsendii Family: TALPIDAE Order: INSECTIVORA Class: MAMMALIA M016 Written by: G. Hoefler, J. Harris Reviewed by: H. Shellhammer Edited by: S. Granholm DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND SEASONALITY Townsend's mole is found along the North Coast in Del Norte and Humboldt cos., from the Oregon border south through about two-thirds of Humboldt Co. Optimum habitats are annual grassland, wet meadow, and early seral stages of redwood, Douglas-fir, mixed conifer, and montane hardwood-conifer forests. Townsend's mole in California mainly is a species of lowland river bottoms. SPECIFIC HABITAT REQUIREMENTS Feeding: Earthworms comprise 55-86% of the diet, with the remainder insects, seeds, roots, leaves, slugs, snails, and small mammals (Wight 1928, Moore 1933, Pedersen 1963, Whitaker et al. 1979). Forages beneath the surface in light, base-rich soils. Cover: This mole is almost entirely subterranean, spending its time in underground burrow systems. Requires well-drained, friable soil for burrowing. Reproduction: Nests in a grass-lined cavity 15-20 cm (6-8 in) below the surface. Nests sometimes are placed under "fortresses" (large mounds of earth 75-125 cm (30-50 in) in diameter), or near the center of a cluster of several normal-sized mounds (Kuhn et al. 1966, Maser et al. 1981). Water: Water needs are met from the diet, especially from earthworms. Pattern: Prefers well-drained, friable soils. Avoids dense woods and thickets. Clearing, draining, and fertilizing of cropland and pasture may have increased numbers of Townsend's mole.

SCHAEFER & R. M. F. S. SADLEIR Schaefer V H. & Sadleir R. M. F. S., 1979: Concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen in mole tunnels. Acta theriol., 24, 21: 267—271 [With 2 Tables], Air samples were collected from mole (Scapanus orarius True, 1896) runs and in adjacent soil at two week intervals over a four month period and examined for C02 and 0 2 content. Oxygen and C02 concen­ trations in mole tunnels were highly correlated with those of the soil air. Oxygen was consistently higher; and COz consistently lower, in mole runs, indicating a degree of aeration in the runs. The gas con­ centrations of runways and soil air were correlated with soil moisture content — CO, increasing and O, decreasing in the tunnels with in­ creasing moisture. Carbon dioxide reached a maximum tunnel concen­ tration of 5.5% and 0 2 a minimum of 14.3%. Molehill construction rates were not related to either C02 or 0 2 concentrations. [Dept. Biol. Sci., Simon Fraser Univ., Burnaby, B. C. V5A 1S6, Ca­ nada]. 1. INTRODUCTION Moles live in a network of tunnels, usually at depths of 10—30 cm and normally come above ground only to disperse (Glendenning, 1959; M e 11 a n b y, 1971; Q u i 11 i a m, 1966; Southern, 1954), or under unusual cirumstances such as drought (Morris, 1966). The atmosphere of mole runs could be expected to be high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen.
