This book was released on 1982 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A herd of California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana), re-introduced to the area of Hell Creek on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Nevada, was studied from 15 June 1978 to 20 August 1980. Major vegetation and physiographic types were delineated and described. Habitat preferences were determined from field observations of sheep use of both vegetation and physiographic habitat components. Sheep displayed preference in their use of habitat components during all seasons; greatest selection was shown by the ewe/ lamb band for physiographic types associated with escape cover in spring, and for vegetation types associated with quality forage in winter. Rams generally displayed less selective habitat use than did the ewe/lamb band. The population was relatively stable at 30-35 individuals, following the initial post-introduction period of rapid growth. It was hypothesized that high quality lambing terrain was limited in quantity within the present ewe/lamb range, and that expansion of the ewe/lamb range to include the nearby Boulder Spring and Virgin Canyon areas would promote substantial population increase. Water was available during all seasons. Spring use of mineral licks may have been related to seasonal mineral deficiency associated with tissue and/or milk production. Activity patterns suggested that sheep adapted their daily activities to fit local, seasonal situations.

Book excerpt: Translocations of bighorn sheep have had variable success due to the lack of good quality, predictive habitat models and of regular follow-up monitoring of translocated populations. This research helps to fill these voids. Radio telemetry was used to estimate the habitat use of a newly reintroduced population of California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana) on the Jim Sage Range in Idaho. The habitat characteristics of locations used by groups of sheep were compared to those of randomly selected locations over two different geographic scales by use of GIS and logistic regression. The characteristics included vegetative composition, terrain ruggedness, distance to water sources, distance to steep slopes, slope, aspect, and elevation. Predictive habitat selection models based on winter, lambing, and summer habitat use were developed. The habitat models correctly classified 78-82% of used locations. Open grassy areas, distance to steep slopes and water, high elevation, and rugged terrain significantly contributed to the presence of sheep. The models suggested that there is an adequate amount of suitable habitat to support a viable population on the Jim Sage Range but that barriers may prevent their access to a portion of the range. Characteristics of the population, including births, deaths, movement patterns, and group composition and size were also monitored so that baseline data with which to compare future data to evaluate the status of the population would be provided. Adequate lambing and recruitment rates were observed. Twenty-two deaths occurred since the first translocation, and mountain lions were a major cause of these. Most of the mountain lion kills occurred during the first four months after the first release. Group size varied seasonally and was positively affected by population density.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain sheep epitomize wilderness for many people because they occupy some of the most inaccessible and rugged habitats known to man, from desert crags to alpine mountains. But of all hoofed mammals in North America, wild sheep present the greatest management problems to biologists. This book is a major reference on the natural history, ecology, and management of wild sheep in North America. Written by wildlife biologists who have devoted years of study to the animals, it covers Dall's and Stone's sheep and Rocky Mountain, California, and desert bighorn and examines a variety of factors pertinent to their life histories: habitat, diet, activity, social organization, reproduction, and population dynamics. Additional chapters consider distribution and abundance, adaptive strategies, and management guidelines. Discussions on diseases of wild sheep present a wealth of information that will be of particular use to wildlife biologists, including detailed clinical descriptions of conditions that threaten sheep populations, from pasteurellosis to capture myopathy. An appendix reviews the cytogenetics and genetics of wild sheep. North American wild sheep may face extinction in many areas unless critical questions concerning their management are answered soon. Prior to the publication of this book, there was no single reference available in which one could find such a synthesis of information. Mountain Sheep of North America provides that source and points toward the preservation of these magnificent wild creatures.
