Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors synthesize the results of their long-running study of Gunnison’s prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni), one of the keystone species of the short-grass prairie ecosystem. By examining the complex factors behind prairie dog decline, we can begin to understand the problems inherent in our adversarial relationship with the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prairie dog is a colonial, keystone species of the grassland ecosystem of western North America. Myriad animals regularly visit colony-sites to feed on the grass there, to use the burrows for shelter or nesting, or to prey on the prairie dogs. Unfortunately, prairie dogs are disappearing, and the current number is only about 2% of the number encountered by Lewis and Clark in the early 1800s. Part I of Conservation of the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog summarizes ecology and social behavior for pivotal issues such as when prairie dogs breed, how far they disperse, how they affect other organisms, and how much they compete with livestock. Part II documents how loss of habitat, poisoning, plague, and recreational shooting have caused the precipitous decline of prairie dog populations over the last 200 years. Part III proposes practical solutions that can ensure the long-term survival of the prairie dog and its grassland ecosystem, and also are fair to private landowners. We cannot expect farmers and ranchers to bear all the costs of conservation while the rest of us enjoy all the benefits. With 700 references, 37 tables, 75 figures and photographs, and a glossary, Conservation of the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog is a unique and vital contribution for wildlife managers, politicians, environmentalists, and curious naturalists.
Download or read book The Black Tailed Prairie Dog written by John L. Hoogland and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-04 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog, John L. Hoogland draws on sixteen years of research at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, in the United States to provide this account of prairie dog social behavior. Through comparisons with more than 300 other animal species, he offers new insights into basic theory in behavioral ecology and sociobiology. Hoogland documents interactions within and among families of prairie dogs to examine the advantages and disadvantages of coloniality. By addressing such topics as male and female reproductive success, inbreeding, kin recognition, and infanticide, Hoogland offers a broad view of conflict and cooperation. Among his surprising findings is that prairie dog females sometimes suckle, and at other times kill, the offspring of close kin. Enhanced by more than 100 photographs, this book illuminates the social organization of a burrowing mammal and raises fundamental questions about current theory. As the most detailed long-term study of any social rodent, The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog will interest not only mammalogists and other vertebrate biologists, but also students of behavioral and evolutionary ecology.

Book excerpt: A program was undertaken to develop zinc phosphide as a replacement for the more hazardous toxicants currently available to control black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus). Four field trials at 15 black -tailed prairie dog colonies in Montana, Colorado, and Nebraska resulted in consistently high reductions in prairie dog activity when colonies were prebaited and the bait was applied in surface bait spots at the low rate of 4 g per burrow. Extensive surveys during these trials revealed no primary or secondary hazards to any nontarget species. Experiments ot measure zinc phosphide residues in range vegetation demonstrated that baiting, even at a much higher rate than 4 g per burrow, caused virtually no environmental contamination. This series of studies produced a recommended method for control of black-tailed prairie dogs: prebaiting followed by one surface application, at 4 g per burrow, a bait formulated from steam-rolled oats, 2% zinc phosphide, and 1% corn oil. All evidence from laboratory and field tests indicates that this treatment is effective and safe, and that the risk of its resulting in either primary or secondary intoxication of nontarget vertebrates, including black-footed ferrets, is remote.
