Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updates the conservation status of Ord's kangaroo rat, Dipodomys ordii, a nocturnal rodent adapted to dry environments that is found in Canada only in sand hill areas of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, at the northern limit of its range. Information is included on kangaroo rat geographic distribution, population size and trends, protection status, habitat, general biology, factors limiting the rat population size and distribution, and the special significance of the species for Canada. Concludes with discussion of the current consensus regarding the status of the species and a proposed designation of the species as vulnerable, with the rationale for such a status.

Download or read book An Occurrence based Habitat Model for the Ord s Kangaroo Rat Dipodomys Ordii in Alberta written by Darren J. Bender and published by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development. This book was released on 2010 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ord's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii) is considered an endangered species, and is the only kangaroo rat to occur in Canada. The Recovery Plan for Ord's kangaroo rat in Alberta identifies a number of activities necessary for recovery, including identification of distribution, habitat requirements, and essential habitat. This report presents information on the current distribution and habitat requirements for the species across Alberta, using statistical modeling to identify key habitat features from the Ord's kangaroo rat occurrences observed in two years of standard population monitoring. Two goals were intended for the study: to produce a habitat model that could estimate the distribution of the kangaroo rat habitat across its range and predict the species' occurrence in Alberta; and to validate the model using population monitoring data obtained in the subsequent years with reporting on the predictive capacity of the model.--Document.

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ord's kangaroo rat is a nocturnal rodent that occurs in Canada as a northern population that is geographically isolated from the southern conspecifics. In Alberta, it occurs in the vacinity of the Middle Sand Hills north of Medicine Hat. This population of kangaroo rats is currently recognized as Endangered due to extreme fluctuations such that the population crashes to fewer than 1000 animals in harsh winters. The Alberta Recovery Plan for Ord's kangaroo rat calls for standardized population monitoring as a high priority recovery activity. The purpose is to establish a long-term database that supports defensible, inter-annual comparisons of distribution, relative abundance, and survival. This document provides a detailed population monitoring protocol to serve as a guide for implementation of long-term, standardized monitoring for Ord's kangaroo rat in Alberta.--Document.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ord's kangaroo rat is a rare, nocturnally-active rodent distributed through the Middle Sand Hills and surrounding sandy regions of southeast Alberta. Research has identified the location of habitats for the Ord's kangaroo rat in Alberta, including a number of isolated patches of natural habitat. This report provides recommended methods for translocating Ord's kangaroo rats in Alberta based on the successes and limitations observed in previous studies, with particular consideration of the unique properties of the Alberta population. This report also describes knowledge gaps and recommended research that should be undertaken to determine whether Ord's kangaroo rat translocations can be used in Alberta to mitigate population decline and local extirpation of isolated habitats.--Document.
