Abstract
In a 14 year mark-recapture study, scientists tracked the dynamics of small mammal populations in a watershed at the east end of Denali National Park and Preserve. Along the way, they built predictive models attempting to predict density of Clethrionomys using meteorological variables collected by NPS personnel at park headquarters, less than 3 miles (5km) from the study site. The predictive model was able to explain ~80% of the variation in annual estimates of Clethrionomys density.
