| Management of California ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyi) involves a complex of decision-making variables. These variables can be grouped in categories consisting of detection and monitoring, damage assessment, population dynamics, natural history, control options, and future management strategies. An understanding of these variables is essential if biologists are to make logical decisions for preventing or reducing California ground squirrel damage. |
