aNumbers of single (S) and dual (D) captures are listed by species at each study site. P. man = Peromyscus maniculatus; P. truei = Peromyscus truei; R. meg. = Reithrodontomys megalotis; S. hisp. = Sigmodon hispidus; T. min. = Tamias minimus; C. hisp. = Chaetodipus hispidus; Pe. flav. = Perognathus flavus.
b 534 rodents from 12 other species; no dual captures.
cOne of these pairs was adult male deer mouse and an adult male pinyon mouse.
