Food Niche Responses in Southern Texas Small Mammal Communities

From 2015 to 2020, we conducted a small mammal mark–recapture study to understand the impacts of grazing, along with variability in temperature and rainfall, on small mammal abundance in southern Texas. Sampling occurred within four different cattle grazing treatments to provide insight on cattle interactions with small mammals.
