Adelman, E. B. 1979. A survey of the nongame mammals in the Upper Rattlesnake Creek 

 drainage of western Montana. [M.S. Thesis] University of Montana, Missoula. 129 pp. 



Small mammal diversity, niche width and niche overlap were studied in the Upper Rattlesnake Creek drainage, 

 Montana. Snap-trap results, habitat associations and observations are described. For SYNAPTOMYS: habitat 

 was a wet sedge-bluejoint meadow (subalpine fir/bluejoint-bluejoint habitat type); one male caught 9/8/78 in 

 200 trap-nights; measurements; associated species included: SOREX VAGRANS, CLETHRIONOMYS 

 GAPPERI, and MICROTUS PENNSYLVANICUS.

For SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS: Describes the Type specimen of SYNAPTOMYS CHAPMANI, sp. nov. 

 (=S. BOREALIS) by an adult male specimen taken in July 1901 in Glacier, B.C. Gives external and skull 

 measurements and pelage description.

Gives lists of all locations trapped and species at each (arranged in species accounts). 66 SYNAPTOMYS 

 BOREALIS were taken at 5 locations trapped. 1/3 were adults, 4 females and 15 males. Measurements were 

 taken and separated by sex. At Seldovia SYNAPTOMYS was found "most frequently in little marshy meadows, 

 but was also sometimes taken in timber in places like those inhabited by red-backed mice."

Describes 5 new species of mammals from Canada including Type of SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS 

 ARTEMISIAE from Stevenson Creek, SW of Princeton at 2400 ft elevation. Known only from Similkameen 

 valley from 2400-5600 ft. Description of color, size, skull. Five individuals (4 males, 1 female) were taken at 

 2400 ft site, 4 (2 males, 2 females) at a 5600 ft site. The habitat at the lower site is dry Transition zone, with 

 sagebrush, pine grass, and occasional PINUS PONDEROSA. The upper site is Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, 

 and abundant ground cover including VALERIANA SITCHENSIS, VERATRUM VIRIDE, ANEMONE 

 OCCIDENTALIS, VACCINIUM, LUPFNUS, and waist-high dense SALIX. Compares external and skull 

 measurements of subspecies ARTEMISIAE (6Male, 3Female), CHAPMANI (lOM, 3F), WRANGELI (2M, 

 2F), BOREALIS (2M), and DALLI (3?).
