| Abstract |
|
The literature is reviewed and analysis made of references to more than 60 vertebrates that use lodges or bank burrows built by the muskrat,Ondatra zibethicus L. Muskrat homes are important to turtles, waterfowl, terns, carnivores, rodents, and other species for shelter, nesting, getting above the water, or seeking food. No use is obligate but the availability of muskrat homes may limit some species. Effects on vertebrate associates should be considered when muskrat populations are manipulated.
