| Contents Notes |
This guide summarizes pertinent literature on four topics of desert bighorn sheep ecology and management: (1) their water requirements and adaptations are compared with those of other desert-dwelling ungulates; (2) the effects of human activities such as mining, poaching, hunting, ranching, hiking, and urban encroachment are discussed; (3) diseases and disease control, specifically scabies and desert bighorn sinusitis, are reviewed; and (4) the relation of bighorn sheep to other resident wildlife is addressed. |
