Animals that are small enough to fit into the tubes walk over ink pads and onto cardstock paper to obtain bait within the tube, leaving their footprints. The tracking tubes described in this document are designed to be set on the ground with free access and exit at either end with additional design components for stability, durability, and efficiency. They are also designed to prevent dirt from getting onto the ink pads and to decrease the ability of birds and other mammals to pull out track cards or bait.We describe detailed methods for constructing, setting and checking track tubes, as well as measuring and identifying small mammal prints for a small mammal study. The protocols described are for monitoring the Pacific pocket mouse (PPM); however, this method can be applied to many small mammal species that have uniquely identifiable tracks in relation to co-occurring species.We have deployed track tubes for over 5 years on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton for PPM discovery efforts and to monitor the three extant PPM populations on Base. We have shown that nightly detection probability is similar to that of live-trapping, but the track tubes can be checked weekly or bi-monthly. We use this passive and economical method to assess timing of annual emergence and torpor, seasonal activity, and localized colonization and extinction events. Using this method, we can model occupancy dynamics in relation to habitat and disturbance covariates that directly inform management and support a monitoring and management feedback loop for this species.", "description": "v, 30 p.", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Fisher, Robert N. rfisher@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Robert N.", "familyName": "Fisher", "email": "rfisher@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-2956-3240", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2956-3240"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Ecological Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Brehme, Cheryl S. cbrehme@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Cheryl S.", "familyName": "Brehme", "email": "cbrehme@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0001-8904-3354", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8904-3354"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Ecological Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Matsuda, Tritia A. tmatsuda@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Tritia A.", "familyName": "Matsuda", "email": "tmatsuda@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0001-9271-7671", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9271-7671"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Ecological Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Clark, Denise R. drclark@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Denise R.", "familyName": "Clark", "email": "drclark@usgs.gov"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Adsit-Morris, Devin T. dadsit-morris@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Devin T.", "familyName": "Adsit-Morris", "email": "dadsit-morris@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-8764-6749", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8764-6749"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Ecological Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Sebes, Jeremy B. jsebes@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Jeremy B.", "familyName": "Sebes", "email": "jsebes@usgs.gov", "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Ecological Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Burlaza, Melanie Anne T.", "givenName": "Melanie Anne T.", "familyName": "Burlaza", "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "formerly USGS Western Ecological Research Center, Santa Cruz Field Station"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Western Ecological Research Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "California", "url": "https://geonames.org/5332921"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Camp Pendleton", "url": "https://geonames.org/7267715"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-117.6580810546875, 33.19962596829635], [-117.12799072265625, 33.19962596829635], [-117.12799072265625, 33.43373345341701], [-117.6580810546875, 33.43373345341701], [-117.6580810546875, 33.19962596829635]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 33.31667971085668, "longitude": -117.39303588867188}]}]}
