The Los Angeles pocket mouse (Perognathus longimembris brevinasus; LAPM), is a California Species of Special Concern and Covered Species under the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). This plan has specific objectives to determine LAPM occupancy, suitable habitat, and distribution. The MSHCP’s Biological Monitoring Program conducted a three-year live trapping effort in four Core Areas from 2020-2022. We collected habitat data by conducting point-intercept surveys and calculated percent cover for habitat variables on each trapping grid. Seven out of 63 grids were occupied for all three years. On the grids occupied all three years, versus those that were never occupied, there was more Lepidospartum squamatum (12% vs. 3%) and bare ground (61% vs. 12%), and less Eriogonum sp. (1% vs. 6%) and litter (20% vs. 67%). These results suggest that Lepidospartum squamatum and bare ground are important habitat features for the presence of LAPM. In 2023, we will continue to contribute to our knowledge of suitable habitat by collecting habitat data in Core Areas where suitable LAPM habitat appears to be present but where LAPM have not been detected in previous surveys.
