Factors Affecting Black Sample Clauses

Factors Affecting Black tailed Prairie Dog Historically, as many as 100,000,000 acres (40,468,627 ha) of occupied black-tailed prairie dog habitat occurred across a landscape of approximately 400,000,000 acres (161,874,507 ha) of potential habitat, forming several large metapopulations in the United States. At present, there are an estimated 2,100,000 acres (849,841 ha)118 of occupied habitat in the United States. When the amount of current occupied habitat is contrasted with the amount of remaining rangeland it is evident that sufficient potential habitat still occurs in each of the 11 States within the historic range of the species to accommodate large expansions of black-tailed prairie dog populations. Recreational shooting can reduce black-tailed prairie dog population densities at specific sites, and there is a possibility that extirpation may have occurred in isolated circumstances, but interest in recreational shooting is generally not high where populations are at low levels. Black-tailed prairie dog populations can recover following intensive recreational shooting119. Although recreational shooting has been implicated in affecting reproductive output in the short-term120, there are no long-term studies that indicate that reproductive output will permanently reduce local populations. Although plague is likely the most important factor adversely influencing black-tailed prairie dog population dynamics, recent information indicates populations are responsive, re-populating plague- impacted colonies. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (2001) indicate that 1) high exposure doses of plague bacilli may be necessary for disease contraction in some individuals, 2) limited immune response has been observed in some individuals, 3) a population dynamic may have developed in low-density, isolated populations that contributes to the persistence of these populations, and (4) the apparent ability of some sites to recover to pre-plague levels after a plague epizootic. The black-tailed prairie dog remains a relatively abundant species despite plague.
