Abstract:

This dataset contains known-fate survival information for radio-tagged snowshoe hares captured in two 200 x 450 m live-trapping grids in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest from June 2008 to November 2012. The data can be sorted and viewed by year, site, number at risk, and number of mortalities.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Experimental Design

Transmitters were deployed at random to hares weighing more than 900 g at time of capture, which included older juveniles and adults. Capture sessions were held regularly in spring (May-Jun) and fall (Aug-Sep), and as necessary during other times of the year to maintain samples of approximately 25 hares per trapping site. Instrumentation: Radio transmitters (models M1555, M1565, M1575, Advanced Telemetry Systems, Isanti, MN)

Methods

FIELD: Snowshoe hares were live-trapped in box traps and collared with 24 g radio transmitters (models M1555, M1565, M1575, Advanced Telemetry Systems, Isanti, MN). Collared hares were monitored approximately weekly using a handheld reciever and 3-element Yagi antenna. Hares with transmitter signals indicating mortality were located, typically within 1 day, to confirm death. Hares with which we lost contact or from which we removed collars were censored, reflected in the number at risk. LAB: No specific lab methods recorded.
