Lemming abundance and habitat selection at Walker Bay, Nunavut
We monitor lemming abundance using two methods. (1) Capture-marking-recapture by live trapping animals using Longworth traps on twelve 0.36 grids (25 live-trap stations) and one 9-ha grid (100 live traps) in mixed heath/wetland habitats. The 12 small grids have been sampled in 1996, 1997, 1999, 2004...
