Colorado and adjacent Wyoming, a description essential to conservation planning and <br /> environmental management directed toward the continued viability of populations. <br /> Microhabitat.—Habitat of all study sites was described in detail, recording 2- and 3- <br /> dimensional structure in the vicinity of each trap station. Table 8 indicates general <br /> habitat at each study site and dates of survey. Table 9 provides general description of <br /> habitat (including recent or continuing disturbance) of each individual transect on each <br /> study site. Detail of trap stations by transect by site is presented in Appendix II. <br /> Meadow jumping mice were captured on two sites, VanVleet and Gebhard. For each <br /> transect on those two sites, right and left lines were compared for each variable with <br /> Students t-tests. There were no significant differences between lines, so data from <br /> right and left lines were merged and all further analyses considered entire transacts, <br /> not separate lines of trap stations. <br /> It is of interest to know whether transects at a given study site were homogeneous. <br /> Therefore, transects on each site were compared on all habitat variables with 1-way <br /> analysis of variance, to test the hypothesis that mean values for the variables were <br /> equal across transects. Table 10 indicates F-value, p, and critical value of F by <br /> variable by transect. On the VanVleet Parcel there were significant differences among <br /> transects in percentage coverage of litter, grass, and trees, in maximum height of <br /> vegetation, and distance to trees and to shrubs, in foliage diversity, and in distance to <br /> water. On the Gebhard Parcel, there were significant differences among transacts in <br /> percentage coverage of grasses and of forbs, in distance to nearest shrub, in light <br /> levels, and in texture of soil. <br /> It is of obvious interest to know whether meadow jumping mice occurred at random on a <br /> particular transact. Therefore, each habitat variable at each station of capture of Z. <br /> hudsonius was compared against the mean for that variable for the entire transact <br /> using Students t-tests. No significant differences were found. That is, stations of <br /> capture did not differ from the overall transects on which the stations were located. <br /> Landscape Context.—A GIS analysis is in preparation of some aspects of the landscape <br /> context of the study sites. Estimates of such variables as corridor width, corridor length, <br /> distance to road, and distance to building are being captured from existing database <br /> layers or are being digitized from orthophotographs of respective quarter sections <br /> (scale, 1 inch = 100 feet, 1:1200) or sections (scale, 1 inch = 200 feet, 1:2400). When <br /> completed, those data and analyses will be appended to this report. <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius) was studied using a standard protocol <br /> on 13 City of Boulder and Boulder County Open Space parcels from May to mid- <br /> September 1995, and by less rigorous methods into mid-October. A total of 1429 <br /> individual small mammals of 11 species were captured over 17,800 trapnights, a <br /> 15 <br />
