Nocturnal activity and foraging of prairie raccoons (Procyon lotor) in North Dakota Nocturnal activity and foraging of prairie raccoons (Procyon lotor) in North Dakota
Nocturnal activity and foraging of 39 radio-equipped raccoons (Procyon lotor) in eastern North Dakota were studied from April-July in 1974-1976. Sixteen of the raccoons were collected after foraging bouts for stomach content analysis. Raccoon activity consisted of running (13%), walking (49%) and local movement in confined areas (38%). Local movement was foraging on large or locally...

Population modeling for furbearer management Population modeling for furbearer management
The management of furbearers has become increasingly complex as greater demands are placed on their populations. Correspondingly, needs for information to use in management have increased. Inadequate information leads the manager to err on the conservative side; unless the size of the 'harvestable surplus' is known, the population cannot be fully exploited. Conversely, information beyond...

Effects of soils and grazing on breeding birds of uncultivated upland grasslands of the Northern Great Plains Effects of soils and grazing on breeding birds of uncultivated upland grasslands of the Northern Great Plains
The principal use of uncultivated upland grasslands in the northern Great Plains is for livestock production. However, on lands set aside for wildlife or for scientific or recreational use, grazing by livestock may be used as a management measure to enhance populations of game species or to create conditions that increase the diversity of plant or animal species. To determine the effects...

Establishment of seeded grasslands for wildlife habitat in the prairie pothole region Establishment of seeded grasslands for wildlife habitat in the prairie pothole region
Techniques are described for establishment of seeded grasslands on cultivated soils to provide wildlife habitat within the glaciated prairie pothole region in the north-central United States. Management of grassland habitats on a sound ecological basis is an important wildlife management activity in the region. The primary purpose of the guidelines in this publication is to help managers...
