	abstract = {Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) were studied in ungrazed tallgrass prairie on the Konza Prairie Research Natural Area near Manhattan, Kansas in 1984-1987. Prairie voles on our topographically diverse site demonstrated a nonrandom association with topography as upland prairie was preferred over lowland and slope prairie. Preference for upland was highly consistent among male and female residents and nonresidents, however, absolute strengths of the preference for upland did differ among years and among sex-residency classes. For example, female residents were associated more strongly with upland prairie than were male residents, whereas male residents were more likely to be captured in lowland prairie than were female residents. Patterns of use of the three topographic positions also were more variable between years and between males and females for nonresidents than residents. The latter difference was consistent with nonresidents, in part, being dispersing voles that were moving through less than optimal habitat in their search for permanent home sites.},

	abstract = {<p>From March 1983 to October 1987, thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus Mitchill) were studied in ungrazed tallgrass prairie manipulated by fire on the Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, Kansas. Overall abundance varied among years (2.6 animals/ha in 1985; 5.6 animals/ha in 1986); however, no significant variation in sex ratio was observed (overall average=52\% males for adults, 48\% males for juveniles). Fire had a positive effect on ground squirrels; abundance was significantly higher in burned than unburned prairie during the year of a fire and in more recently than less recently burned prairie during years following a fire. Ground squirrels also selected hillsides with exposed rocks (breaks) over upland and lowland prairie sites. Although females and males selected similar habitats, home ranges were significantly larger for adult males (average=0.56 ha) than for adult females (0.36 ha). Both adult females and males caught on the study area typically were residents rather than transients. Further, overwinter survival did not differ between adult females and males. Overwinter survival of juvenile females was similar to adults; however, no juvenile males overwintered on the study area</p>},
