HABITAT CHARACTERISTICS OF REPTILES IN PINYON-JUNIPER WOODLAND

The Inyo Mountains and White Mountains rise in elevation from 1515 to 4245 m and are east of, and run parallel to, the Sierra Nevada on the western border of the Great Basin. Pinyon-juniper (Pinus monophylla-Juniperus osteosperma) woodland predominates between ca 1800 and 2900 m elevation and is cha...

Description
Summary:The Inyo Mountains and White Mountains rise in elevation from 1515 to 4245 m and are east of, and run parallel to, the Sierra Nevada on the western border of the Great Basin. Pinyon-juniper (Pinus monophylla-Juniperus osteosperma) woodland predominates between ca 1800 and 2900 m elevation and is characterized by an increasing concentration of pinyon and a decreasing amount of juniper with increased elevation. Our objectives included determining interspecific relationships in abundance and correlation between abundance and habitat conditions.
