Report Dedication Eric Wells Albrecht 1970-2004 This report, as others in the series, is dedicated to Eric’s life and work; he was an extraordinary ecologist, community member, father, partner, and friend. Eric was co-coordinator of the University of Arizona (UA) biological inventory and monitoring program from 2002 until his sudden and unexpected death on September 20, 2004. Eric was near completion of his MS degree in Wildlife Conservation from the UA, which was awarded posthumously in November 2004. In his last year, Eric spearheaded projects to investigate the efficiency of current monitoring programs; he was passionate about using the best available information to guide vertebrate monitoring efforts in the region. He is survived by his partner, Kathy Moore, and their two young children, Elizabeth and Zachary. We hope that the lives of his children will be enriched by Eric’s hard work on behalf of the national parks in the Sonoran Desert Network. Don Swann dedicates the mammal chapter to Lowell Sumner for his elegant study of mammals in the Rincon Mountains in 1950-1951 and for his life-long dedication to biological research in U.S. National Parks; and to Russell Davis and Ronnie Sidner for their significant and on-going contributions to our understanding of mammals in Saguaro National Park. xi
