Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) have declined dramatically over the past century from habitat loss, poisoning, and plague, a disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Because of these factors, populations have become fragmented, and, in areas with plague, exist in metapopulations, undergoing regular extinction and recolonization. The focus of this study was two primary sources of decline in black-tailed prairie dogs: habitat fragmentation and plague.The influence of sylvatic plague on North American wildlife at the landscape level , with special emphasis on black-footed ferret and prairie dog conservation. ... Rain and rodents: complex dynamics of desert consumers. ... Model selection and multimodel inference: a practical information-theoretic approach, 2nd edition.
