A decline in populations of Allegheny woodrats (Neotoma magister)
was first noticed in the 1980s. Since that time, woodrats have
become extirpated from at least two states and have declined
dramatically in several others. Recent evidence suggests that the
decline of this species may be proceeding further south to include
states where woodrat populations were previously considered to be
stable.
The Allegheny Woodrat: Ecology, Conservation, and Management of
a Declining Species provides a comprehensive summary of research
conducted over the past twenty-five years. The book integrates the
results of this research into a comprehensive picture of the
ecological requirements, conservation principles, and management
strategies for this declining species. In addition, general
principles learned from the study of woodrats are applied to the
conservation and management of other declining species, including
other species of Neotoma.
The editors and chapter authors are researchers from both
academic settings and state management agencies, individuals who
have contributed significantly to the study of Allegheny woodrats
during the past two decades. The book will be of interest to
ecologists, conservation biologists, wildlife professionals, and
students.
