Mammal Inventories
Mammal inventories were needed for ten parks in the Northern Great Plains Network. The primary data gaps were small mammals and bats, which account for approximately 62% of the undocumented species. The following parks had mammal inventories conducted: Agate Fossil Beds, Devils Tower, Jewel Cave, and Scotts Bluff National Monuments, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Fort Laramie, Fort Union Trading Post, and Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Sites, Missouri National Recreation River, and Wind Cave National Park.
The primary objective for the mammal inventories was to document at least 90% of the species expected to occur in the parks. Methods used were live- and pitfall traps for small mammals, mist nets and ultrasonic detectors for bats, automated cameras for nocturnal species, and visual observations of mammals and their sign.
