The response of mammals to forest fire and timber harvest in the North American boreal forest (2005, unknown): “In contrast, in British Columbia, small mammal species richness and diversity was low in uncut stands (Sullivan & Sullivan, 2001), when compared with high deer mouse and meadow vole abundance in newly harvested stands.”
Variable-retention harvests in the Pacific Northwest: A review of short-term findings from the DEMO study (2009, background): “For some species of small mammals, retention levels as low as or lower than 15% may be sufficient to maintain populations (e.g., Moses and Boutin, 2001; Sullivan and Sullivan, 2001 ).”
Individual legacy trees influence vertebrate wildlife diversity in commercial forests (2004, background): “Southern red-backed voles (Clethrionomys gapperi), a late-successional associated forest species, are also more common in harvested areas as the basal area in residual trees increases (Sullivan and Sullivan, 2001).”
Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures (2004, background): “For example, in a study on forest structure, Sullivan & Sullivan (2001) showed that, contrary to their initial hypothesis, mean species diversity of grounddwelling mammals was lowest in uncut forests with high structural diversity (measured as an index of basal area, density and percentage cover of…”
