Description: The relationships between 355 wildlife species and their habitats are examined in a series of matrices, life history notes, and distribution maps covering 26 amphibians, 27 reptiles, 208 birds, and 94 mammals. The information is useful in identifying and evaluating the consequences of proposed land management activities-particularly those that manipulate vegetation. Although designed for use by land managers, the publication provides information useful to both professionals and lay persons interested in California wildlife.

Keywords: habitat management, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, conifer forests, annual grasslands, oak woodlands, riparian deciduous, mountain meadows, Sierra Nevada, California.
