A decline in populations of Allegheny woodrats was first noticed in the 1980s. Since that time, woodrats have become extirpated from at least two states and have declined dramatically in several others. This book provides a summary of research conducted over the twenty-five years. It is for ecologists, wildlife professionals, students, and others.
