Trapline <br /> locations are shown on Exhibit 11-3. The following sampling design was used: <br /> Line No. and Type Spacing Number of <br /> Number Habitat of Trap(s) Interval Nights Trapped Dates <br /> 1 Rangeland 45-live 15 yds. 3 7-9 October 1987 <br /> 2 Swale 45-live 15 yds. 3 7-9 October 1987 <br /> 8 Agriculture 45-live 15 yds. 3 7-9 October 1987 <br /> The weather throughout the trapping periods was clear, mild, and calm with early morning <br /> temperatures reaching near freezing. <br /> All captures were identified before release. Those specimens caught in snap traps and <br /> those that succumbed to hypothermia in live traps were saved as voucher specimens. <br /> Results are reported as number of captures per trap-night. Small mammal species diversity <br /> values of each habitat are calculated after MacArthur (1964) as H = P i i <br /> log P , where, <br /> e <br /> in this report, P i is the proportion of the number of each species to the total number of <br /> captures. <br /> A prairie dog and black-footed ferret survey was conducted in the study area in compliance <br /> with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service standards and requirements. The survey methods are <br /> presented in Attachment 11-2. <br /> 11-2-8 Revised 04/11/88 <br />
