Seen as vermin that spoiled valuable rangeland, prairie dogs were long the subject of eradication campaigns and are threatened by habitat loss and the loss of genetic diversity. This book presents a study of Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni), one of the keystone species of the short-grass prairie ecosystem.
