Hastings Natural History Reservation

28 Mar, 06 AM - 29 Mar, 07 AM

This course is a junior-senior level course on the ecology and natural history of North American mammals. Students learn basic field techniques and to identify mammals of California. I would like to demonstrate basic live-trapping techniques and show students species native to local habitats, which will require us to stay overnight. Hastings Reserve was chosen to represent species in oak woodland/coastal chaparral and grassland environments. Sherman live traps will be set in the late afternoon/evening in representative habitats in the reserve and checked in the early morning. Captured animals will be identified to species and sex, age and reproductive condition will be assessed. All individuals will be released at their capture location. Field methods have been approved by CSUF IACUC Committee.
