Download or read book Coexistence and Space Use of Raccoon Striped Skunk and Virginia Opossum in East Texas written by Kent Allen Fricke and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raccoons (Procyon lotor), striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), and Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) comprise a community of ecological generalists that coexist throughout their ranges in North America and utilize many of the same resources. These sympatric omnivores occur in a variety of habitats and can have significant impacts on the communities and ecosystems in which they occur, such as influencing avifaunal communities and hosting and transmitting diseases. Yet, relatively few studies have examined the spatial correlates that may allow their coexistence. Space-use patterns, including home range, habitat use, movements, and relative abundances can all be mechanisms by which these species might coexist. A study with three main components was conducted to determine space-use patterns of raccoon, striped skunk, and Virginia opossum on a 1,200 ha study site in Angelina County, Texas, USA, from December 2008-May 2010. The study site is surrounded by two channels of the Neches River and is dominated by mature bottomland hardwood forest and mature, thinned loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda) stands. The site is managed for timber production and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) hunting.
