Rose1 and Erin A. Dreelin2, Department of Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia 23529-0266 ABSTRACT The objectives of our study were to determine the age of maturity, litter size, and the timing of the breeding season of marsh rice rats (Oryzomys palustris) of coastal Virginia. From May 1995 to May 1996, monthly samples of rice rats were live-trapped in two coastal tidal marshes of eastern Virginia, and then necropsied. Sexual maturity was attained at 30-40 g for both sexes. Mean litter size of 4.63 (n = 16) did not differ among months or in mass or parity classes. Data from two other studies conducted in the same county, one of them contemporaneous, also were examined. Based on necropsy, rice rats bred from March to October; breeding did not occur in December-February. By contrast, rice rats observed during monthly trapping on nearby live-trap grids were judged, using external indicators, to be breeding year-round except January. Compared to internal examinations, external indicators of reproductive condition were not reliable for either sex in predicting breeding status in the marsh rice rat. -

2013 Thesis Small Mammals
Small Mammal Habitat Utilization of a Feedstock Agroforest System in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Forest Resources by KEVIN DALE WOOD, B.S. University of Arkansas-Monticello, 2011 August 2013 University of Arkansas-Monticello This Thesis Approved for Recommendation to the Graduate School. Thesis Director: Dr. Don White, Jr. Thesis Committee: Dr. Robert E. Kissell, Jr. Dr. John Hunt Dr. Philip A. Tappe Dean, School of Forest Resources Dr. Jimmie Yeiser Dean, Graduate School ii ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing effort to expand the production and use of biofuels to ease our dependence on foreign oil. A concern associated with the expansion of bioenergy feedstock production is that marginal land currently forested or managed for wildlife habitat in conservation programs will be converted to corn or soybean production due to high market values of these crops. Cottonwood (Populus deltoides)-switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) agroforests could provide suitable habitat for a number of wildlife species on this type of land while providing needed bioenergy feedstocks. Small mammals are ecologically important for a variety of reasons, and play a vital role in the enhancement and preservation of biological diversity. Little is known about how small mammals would utilize these biofuel feedstock agroforest systems. I used multivariate analysis to describe variation in composition and abundance of small mammals within a feedstock agroforest system in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in southeast Arkansas. I used canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) in program to produce ordination diagrams. I recorded 261 individuals of 5 taxa of small mammals across 4 seasons combined. -
