THE ALGONQUIN SMALL MAMMAL LINES
In 1952 Bruce Falls started a yearly long-term small mammal live-trapping project in Algonquin Provincial Park. Based out of the Wildlife Research Station, it continues today and is considered to be one of the longest small mammal surveys in North America. My participation in this project comprised of three parts; a field technician in 2009, head field technician for part of 2010 and all of 2011, and MSc student in 2011 and 2012. My MSc thesis data was collected in collaboration with this project and I published two papers in relation to these long term data. Annual updates on this long-term field project, as well as other projects, can be found in the Algonquin Research Report.
