Determinants of Local Distribution and Abundance in White‐Footed Mice
1975
M'Closkey, Robert T. | Lajoie, Daniel T.
To establish plausible explanations of the factors determining patterns of local distribution and abundance of white—footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus, concurrent measures of habitat structure, plant species composition, and mouse density were performed in several seral stages at Point Pelee National Park, southern Ontario. Population density covaries with foliage profile structure among habitats in which P. leucopus occur, whereas floristic composition is unimportant. White—footed mouse distribution and restriction to nongrassland habitats may be due to a significant structural difference between grassland and nongrassland habitats.
