Excerpt from A Comparison of Small Mammal Communities at Montezuma Castle National Monument We Chose two locations within Montezuma Castle National Monument to establish live-trapping grids, randomly selecting two locations from avail able riparian floodplain strips with adjacent mes quite habitat using aerial photographs. The floodplain grids were situated adjacent to Wet Bea ver Creek about 20-25 m from the stream bank with the rows running parallel and columns run ning at right angles to the bank.we placed mesquite grids 50 m above and parallel to the floodplain grids (figure Grids contained 100 trap stations spaced 10 m apart (90 by 90 meters or 081 hectares). Each grid encompassed a distinct habitat type.we employed this particular study design to determine if significant animal dispersal from one habitat to another was occurring between sampling periods.
