In the case of the nine-banded armadillo and the hispid cotton rats, their movement northward has been attributed to a general warming trend that has allowed these southern species to expand to the north; however, in recent years this movement appears to have stopped in the hispid cotton rats and to have been at least partially reversed in Nebraska.

Encroachment of eastern redcedar into grasslands could result in local extirpation of grassland-associated species such as least shrews, fulvous harvest mice, and hispid cotton rats as we only captured these three species in open grass habitats, similar to the findings of Stancampiano and Schnell (2004).

Hispid cotton rats are known to experience cyclic population surges and crashes at intra-annual scales, with abundances highest in spring and fall (Goertz, 1964; Reed and Slade, 2006).

While conducting monthly trapping to measure density and distribution of the rodent populations for demographic studies of meadow voles (Longtin and Rose, 2012) and hispid cotton rats (Green and Rose, 2009), we observed hundreds of volunteer loblolly pines that had been partially or completely girdled to a height of 15-18 cm, consistent with girdling by rodents.
