potential effects of environmental contamination on yuma myotis demography and population growth. | unplanned natural and anthropogenic disasters provide unique opportunities for investigating the influence of perturbations on population vital rates and species recovery times. we investigated the potential effects of a major pesticide spill by comparing annual survival rates using mark-recapture techniques on a riparian bat species, yuma myotis (myotis yumanensis). demography and population dynamics for most bat species remain poorly understood despite advances in mark-recapture estimation and ... | 2007 | 17555229 |
