Trap-induced mass declines in small mammals: mass as a population index
Article Abstract:
The article examines the impact of trap-induced body mass declines (TMDs) in small mammals on the calculation of body-mass-based population indexes. Deer mice, red-backed voles, and red-tailed chipmunk populations were used as an illustration. Hypothermia and dehydration are believed to be primary causes of TMDs; implications for population studies are discussed.

Effects of thinning on small mammals in Oregon coastal forests
Article Abstract:
The impact of logging is studied for vole and mice populations in Douglas fir forests of the Oregon coast. Populations researched include deer mice, Pacific jumping mice, western red-backed vole, and creeping vole. No significant negative effects were found for any of the populations; some benefits were observed.
