Stinknet is an invasive weed quickly invading the Southwest and Pima County. Due to its inedible nature, aggressive takeover of native plant cover and forage, and potential for fire fuel, I intended to investigate the effects of stinknet on small mammal populations and species composition. I set traps in stinknet infested areas and control sites in Tucson to test if there was a difference in the composition and abundance of small mammals. Though I caught nothing of interest I learned how to navigate land ownership, efficiently conduct trapping sessions, and gained valuable knowledge for future research in this topic.Type
