Abstract

A live-trapping study of a population of white-footed mice Peromyscus leucopus was carried out during the midsummers of 1976, 1977, 1979, and 1981. The trapping grid (60 x 120m) was located in a lakeside forest in the northern portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan, U.S.A. Extremes in estimated population size were 11 individuals in 1979 and 139 in 1981.
