TLDR
In this article, the authors report observations of small rodents visiting the water developments in a locality in the Tehuacan-Cuicatlan Biosphere Reserve, Oaxaca.Abstract:
The implementation of water developments for wildlife is a common management practice in regions with seasonal water shortages. The water developments are installed to benefit species of human interest, nevertheless, they can be used by other species. In this note we report observations of small rodents visiting the water developments in a locality in the Tehuacan-Cuicatlan Biosphere Reserve. The water developments were monitored using 12 camera traps during the 2018 dry season in the locality of San Gabriel Casa Blanca, Oaxaca. We calculate the visit rate of rodents and compared it between two types of water developments. We observe 154 visits of rodents of at least four genera: Peromyscus, Liomys, Sigmodon and Dipodomys. The mean visit rate for both types of water developments was 18.8 ± 37.7 visits/100 days. We don´t find significant differences in the visits among the water development types. Using camera-traps we demonstrate the visits and use of water developments by some species of cricetids. Likewise, we suggest that the lack of ramps or concave walls in the troughs represents a risk for small species. Other studies are necessary to evaluate the effect of the water developments on the biomass, survival, abundance of rodents in dry forests.read more

Provision of watering points in the Australian arid zone: a review of effects on biota
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of artificial sources of water on native flora and fauna in arid and semi-arid zones, with emphasis on Australia but drawing on information from other countries where possible, are reviewed.

Surface‐water constraints on herbivore foraging in the kruger national park, south africa
TL;DR: Logistic regression is used to analyze 13 years of aerial census data collected in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, and suggests that the trade-off between nutritional requirements and surface-water constraints that species face varies according to the species' water dependence, size, and gut morphology.

Species Diversity of Seed‐Eating Desert Rodents in Sand Dune Habitats
TL;DR: The seed—eating rodent faunas were sampled on 18 dunes of semistabilized, wind—drifted sand in eastern California, Nevada, and western Utah, and it is likely that no existing species possess the adaptations necessary to colonize them, although these dunes seem to be capable of supporting additional rodent species.
