Abstract/Contents: | Presents a two-year study conducted by the University of Arizona to "examine diversity, distribution, and relative abundance of reptiles using the golf course as habitat." Describes the methods used in the experiment, stating that researchers "used mark-recapture to determine relative abundance and distribution of reptiles living on golf courses in Arizona." Explains that "data on how reptiles use golf course features can be used in a practical way when trying to increase compatibility with reptiles, in particular, and wildlife in general." Reports that "Gila monsters tend to avoid open fairways and tend to utilize irrigated areas along the edges of the golf course out of proportion to their availability." |
