Small Mammal Mark-Recapture Population Dynamics at Core Research Sites at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (1989 - present)

This file contains mark/recapture trapping data collected from 1989-2012 on permanently established web trapping arrays at 8 sites on the Sevilleta NWR. At each site 3 trapping webs are sampled for 3 consecutive nights in spring and fall. Not all sites have been trapped for the entire period. Each trapping web consists of 145 rebar stakes numbered from 1-145. There are 148 traps deployed on each web: 12 along each of 12 spokes radiating out from a central point (stake #145) plus 4 traps at the center point. The trapping sites are representative of Chihuahuan Desert Grassland, Chihuahuan Desert Shrubland, Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, Juniper Savanna, Plains-Mesa Sand Scrub and Blue Grama Grassland.

本数据集包含1989年至2012年间采集的标记重捕诱捕数据，数据采自塞维利特国家野生动物保护区（Sevilleta NWR）内8个站点的永久布设网格诱捕阵列。每个站点于春季和秋季连续3个夜晚对3个诱捕网格开展采样调查。并非所有站点均在整个研究周期内完成诱捕工作。每个诱捕网格由145根编号1至145的钢筋桩构成：每个网格共布设148个诱捕器，即从中心点（编号145的钢筋桩）向外辐射的12根辐条上各设置12个诱捕器，另在中心点增设4个诱捕器。本次诱捕站点涵盖奇瓦瓦沙漠草原、奇瓦瓦沙漠灌丛、矮松-杜松林地、桧树稀树草原、平原台地沙质灌丛以及格兰马草草原6类典型生境。
