The relative importance of microclimate at shelters and shrubs on animal communities in drylands of Southwestern, California (2022, 2023).

We examined microclimate at artificial shelters, natural shrubs, and in the open across four sites in Southwestern California, USA. The study was done in the spring and winter of 2022-2023. We camera trapped at each site during each year to examine local vertebrate communuities.

我们针对美国加利福尼亚州西南部的四个研究样地，分别在人工庇护所、天然灌丛以及开阔生境中开展了微气候（microclimate）监测。本研究的观测时段为2022至2023年的春季与冬季。我们于各年度在全部研究样地采用红外相机诱捕（camera trap）技术开展监测，以调查当地的脊椎动物群落。
