| A subarctic rodent community of Clethrionomys gapperi and
Peromyscus maniculatus was censused with multiple-capture traps in contrasting
years of population growth. Clethrionomys gapperi was involved in few multiple
captures and was caught in small groups. Repeat multiple captures of the same individuals
were rare. Mature females were territorial and were mainly caught with mature males.
Mature males had large, extensively overlapping ranges and were mainly caught with mature
voles. Immatures had small, moderately exclusive ranges and were involved in more multiple
captures than were mature voles. Patterns of association in C. gapperi were random. |
