Abstract:
:Demographic characteristics of a white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) population inhabiting a woodland containing a low level of PCBs contamination were compared to an uncontaminated reference site. Although population density was higher on the PCBs-contaminated grid, the population exhibited greater temporal variability among years and had a higher number of transient animals. These population trends are consistent with those observed in structurally suboptimal habitats, indicating that the PCBs-contaminated grid is functioning as a suboptimal habitat. However, the data are not compelling enough to firmly conclude that the differences are due to contamination rather than to undetected environmental variation between sites. If demographic differences due to contamination are slight, they will be difficult to detect against a background of demographic variation resulting from subtle environmental differences. We conclude that animals at this site experienced a level of contamination that was below threshold for unequivocal detection of demographic effects.
