Abstract
A mowed strip of grassland habitat was an effective barrier to movement in the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster. Movement between 2 live-trapping grids, separated by a 10 m wide mowed strip, was reduced to 4% of the voles surviving to the next trapping period (3 wk).This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
