Front Cover: DeGolier and colleagues examined the response of small mammals to floristic diversity and prescribed burns in prairie restorations. Here they found that annual changes in habitat structure due to prescribed burns maintained small mammal diversity. The authors suggest that techniques that promote differences in structural characteristics across prairie restorations are just as important as creating plantings with high floristic diversity for small mammal success.
