Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve

07 Oct, 09 AM - 14 Oct, 12 PM

The purpose of this trip is trap and capture voles for our lab colony at UCR. Our field sampling involves setting 50-75 Sherman traps in open habitat (meadows, clearings). The voles will be captured and relocated to a room in the vivarium of UCR to start the live colony. The progenies of these wild caught voles will be used for a behavioral assay. We aim to capture 20 California voles (10 males and 10 females) per site for our lab colony. We caught 7 voles (5 female and 2 males) during our last visit. This is a third attempt to catch more to avoid inbreeding in the lab colony.
