Previous studies have shown that pocket
gophers either cannot swim (Hamilton 1943; Jackson 1961) or are relatively weak swimmers (test animals swam to exhaustion in less than three minutes; Kennerly 1963), and it is our contention that all pocket
gopher populations in the immediate vicinity of the present-day hybrid zone likely were extirpated during the flood of 1929.
However, none of this must detract from the Herculean task that Avi
Gopher has undertaken, and completed, with this study of Levantine Neolithic arrowheads.
Gopher Resource employs approximately 600 people at recycling facilities in Eagan, MN and Tampa, FL.
However, our objective was to examine factors related to pocket

Comparative analysis of burrow systems of seven species of pocket

We checked voles and pocket

Most states prohibit keeping a
gopher tortoise as a pet.
It doesn't take dynamite to dispatch
gophers--as Bill Murray memorably tried in the movie "Caddyshack"--but ridding a vineyard of pocket

At these elevations, Mountain Pocket
Gophers are far more common than Botta's Pocket
Gopher (Ingles 1952; Jones and Baxter 2004), but
gopher mounds and tunnels could not be distinguished to species level.
Subpopulation definition: First, we estimated
gopher maximum dispersal distance as the square root of home range size multiplied by 40 (Bowman et al.
I did this once three months ago and I haven't see a
gopher since.
Anton Mickelson, one of the primary purveyors of
gopher poison at the time, became well-known in municipal circles, and a regular attendee at annual conventions, where he offered wholesale prices to municipalities.
