Title: Path to extinction: Impact of vegetational change on lizard populations on Arapaho Prairie in the Nebraska sandhills
Journal: American Midland Naturalist
Authors: R. E. Ballinger, and K. S. Watts
Date: 1995
Summary: The effects of continued changes in vegetation over the past 10 years of protection from grazing on Arapaho Prairie in Nebraska on lizard populations were examined. Individual lizard captures were recorded 3-5 times per week from June to August. The time of capture, location of capture and vegetation type were also recorded during 1978, 1984, and 1993. The resident population was defined as those lizards having the center of their home ranges within the grid or those captured two or more times during the 3-mo period. Individuals captured only once within the grid were considered potential resi ...

Title: Vegetal change in the absence of livestock grazing, mountain brush zone, Utah
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: D. D. Austin, P. J. Urness, and R. A. Riggs
Date: 1986
Summary: Vegetal differences were compared in two adjacent canyons, one which had not been grazed since 1905, and the other which was heavily grazed through the 1930's, after which, grazing gradually decreased until 1957, when it was removed. Since 1935, in Red Butte Canyon, where livestock grazing had been excluded since 1905, vegetal changes were small, compared with those of Emigration Canyon, where heavy grazing continued into the 1930's, but was gradually phased out and discontinued in 1957. Large differences in vegetal cover between the 2 canyons reported in 1935 were mostly eliminated by 1983. ...
