Douglas is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. This study focuses on the ecological dynamics between two species of small mammals, the pinyon mouse and the deer mouse, within the unique habitat of Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. The text provides detailed analyses of habitat preferences, population densities, and interactions between the two species. The opening portion of the publication introduces the historical context of the region, including references to the prehistoric Pueblo inhabitants and the continuity of fauna over centuries. It lays the groundwork for the ecological study by outlining previous flora studies and describing the specific circumstances that make Mesa Verde an ideal research environment. Douglas mentions his objectives in exploring ecological factors such as habitat preferences, reproductive behaviors, and food habits of the two mouse species, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of their interplay within their natural setting.
