<dd>Within the Northern Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, prairie dog (Cynomys) survey data collected between 1980 and 1989 were compared with data from a 2001-2005 survey. From these data, distribution, activity level, and habitat selection based on range site and precipitation categories were analyzed. Overall, the white-tailed prairie dog (C. leucurus) population declined in distribution and activity ... There was also a very small population of black-tailed prairie dogs (C. ludovicianus) that increased 8 percent...towns appear to be significantly associated with saline upland, loamy, sandy, shallow loamy, and shale range sites ... Other variables not measured also likely contribute to the observed distribution of white-tailed prairie dog town site selection</dd>
