Genetics at a micro scale. We
are interested in the successip of mitochondria DNA lineages as well
as the frequency of the different
types (clones) of mtDNA. Traps are
being checked at 2200, and again
at 0600. Location of individuals
captured will be in the catalog.
17 Sept West Slope Walker Pass, New Co, 4600 ft
We checked all 4 trap lines last
night and caught 25 D. p. moharensis
Line D has 38 traps, caught 4 rats
by 2252 hrs. Line B had 40 traps &
caught 7 rats by 2319 hrs. Line A
had 39 traps & caught 9 rats by
2340 hrs. Line C had 39 traps
& caught 5 rats by 0007 hrs. Those
traps that caught rats were
removed and not replaced, so
that all sites had an equal
probability of catching one rat.
We chose this strategy since the
snap traps used in 1917 were
not replaced once they trapped
a rat.
The traps were checked again at
dawn. 30 traps on line A caught
