Abstract

The mountains of southeastern Arizona support a large diversity of vegetative plant communities ranging from grassland and desert scrub to spruce-fir forests. These vegetation types provide appropriate conditions for a number of species of vertebrates. Although vertebrates have been the subject of numerous studies in this region, most studies were restricted to one species, one mountain range, or one season. This limited scale of observation precludes generalizations of habitat associations between species and their environments.
