Title
Small
mammals
in
field
borders
of
cereal
cropfields
in an
agricultural
mosaic
in
west-central
Kansas
.

Abstract
The
small
mammal
populations
of
fencerows
and
crop
field
borders
were
sampled
in an
agricultural-grassland
mosaic
of
west-central
Kansas
.
Farming
is
a
dryland
,
3-year
rotation
of
wheat
,
grain
sorghum
, and
fallow
.
Two
sites
were
sampled
,
one
on the
border
of a
wheat
field
and the
second
on the
border
of a
grain
sorghum
field
.
Sampling
was
conducted
from
November
1980
to
November
1981
.
Species
richness
,
diversity
, and
evenness
were
assessed
for
each
trapping
period
and
contrasted
with the
same
indices
obtained
from
trapping
results
in the
centers
of the
fields
.
Seasonal
use
of
habitats
was also
assessed
.
Field
borders
,
despite
their
small
areal
extent
,
contained
relatively
diverse
small
mammal
communities
.
Peromyscus
maniculatus
was the
most
common
inhabitant
of
both
the
field
border
and
crops
and
habitats
and was the
only
species
trapped
in
both
habitat
types
during
all
periods
.
Relative
densities
of
P
.
maniculatus
peaked
during
the
spring
,
indicating
a
possible
adjustment
of the
breeding
cycle
to
coincide
with
development
of
factors
in the
crop
fields
.
Species
richness
increased
in the
cropland
habiatats
during
the
vegetative
growth
phases
of
each
crop
,
indicating
the
carrying
capacity
of
crop
fields
may
be
variable
.
Species
other
than
P
.
maniculatus
appeared
to
utilize
cropfield
habitats
only
on a
seasonal
or
sporadic
basis
.
