Download or read book Using Energetics and Diet to Predict the Movements of Northern Flying Squirrels Glaucomys Sabrinus in the Managed Forests of Southeast Alaska written by Elizabeth A. Flaherty and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, the Tongass Land Management Plan identified the endemic northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus griseifrons) as a design species for small old-growth reserves on Prince of Wales Island. The reserve program and harvest plan assumed that flying squirrel populations on the island will exist as a metapopulation in the fragmented landscape. Two life history characteristics, gliding and diet, appear to be closely linked to old-growth habitats. Because timber harvest results in loss of gliding structure and hypogeous fungi, flying squirrels likely will not exist as a functioning metapopulation because of limited dispersal. To assess effects of fragmentation on flying squirrel dispersal, I measured direct costs of transport of quadrupedal locomotion using flow-through respirometry and captive northern flying squirrels. I estimated diet of wild flying squirrels using stable isotope and fecal analyses. Because of potential misinterpretation of linear mixing model results in stable isotope analyses to estimate diet in a fragmented habitat, I modeled habitat effects on resource use and niche. Finally, I measured fine-scale movements of flying squirrels in all three habitat types and estimated perceptual range in the managed stands. I found that cost of quadrupedal locomotion was higher than expected for northern flying squirrels and they may realize over 64% energy savings through gliding. Lichen, conifer seeds, and fungi were main dietary items consumed and assimilated by the wild flying squirrels and old-growth had significantly higher food availability than second-growth stands and clearcuts. Modeling indicated that habitat use could affect isotopic patterns of consumers suggesting that knowledge of habitat use and individual foraging behavior are critical for correct quantification of the ecological niche of flying squirrels and other animals. Perceptual range of flying squirrels was greater in clearcuts than second-growth stands but was significantly shorter than predicted for both habitats. Furthermore, flying squirrels pause more often in clearcuts, leading to higher energetic costs of dispersing through this habitat. Thus, habitat fragmentation through logging may have created barriers to dispersal among forest patches possibly leading to isolation and eventually, localized extinction. With limited dispersal, flying squirrels on Prince of Wales Island will not function as viable metapopulations.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern and southern flying squirrels are used as indicator species of sustainable forest management in many regions of North America, including Ontario. However, little is known about flying squirrel ecology or the impacts of partial harvesting on their populations in northeastern North America. I investigated flying squirrel habitat use at multiple spatial scales in both logged and unlogged forests through live-trapping and radio-telemetry. Live-trapping data was used to develop habitat models at the stand and landscape scale for both flying squirrel species, and additionally for red squirrels and eastern chipmunks. I also conducted dietary analyses for all sympatric tree squirrel species, and investigated flying squirrel nest use, home range size, and resource selection within home ranges with radio-telemetry. Northern flying squirrel densities were significantly lower on shelterwood harvested stands compared with unharvested pine stands, which appears to be a consequence of significantly lower densities of large snags, spruce and hardwood trees, and lower understory stem densities on shelterwood cuts. Large hardwood snags were a key nesting substrate for northern flying squirrels. Spruce may be a crucial resource to northern flying squirrels; it is the primary host tree of the mycorrhizal hypogeous fungi which dominated their diet, and northern flying squirrel density and habitat use was associated with spruce tree density at multiple spatial scales. In contrast to northern flying squirrels, southern flying squirrels demonstrated little evidence of a negative response to partial harvesting. This species seems to tolerate lower snag densities in recent selection cuts by nesting in natural and abandoned woodpecker cavities in live trees. Mast availability had a significant influence on southern flying squirrel density at the landscape scale, and on habitat use within home ranges. Southern flying squirrels had a diverse diet in central Ontario (fungi, pollen, seeds, and insects). In order to obtain these varied food resources, this species was active at night in areas with higher tree species diversity than random sites. This study supports past research indicating that northern flying squirrels are associates of mature and old forests (90+ years old); whereas southern flying squirrels demonstrated more flexible habitat use and behaviour.

Book excerpt: Did you know that a groundhog is really a type of squirrel? That squirrels control their body temperature with their tails? That most squirrels have yellow-tinted eye lenses that work like sunglasses to reduce glare? That tree squirrels can turn their hind feet completely around when climbing down a tree head-first? In Squirrels: The Animal Answer Guide, Richard W. Thorington Jr. and Katie Ferrell unveil the fascinating world of one of the "most watched" mammals on the planet. The diversity of squirrels is astounding. There are 278 species that inhabit all continents except Antarctica and Australia—varying in size from the lumbering 18-pound gray marmot to the graceful pygmy flying squirrel that is smaller than most mice. In many parts of the world they readily share human habitats, joining us for lunch in a city park, raiding our bird feeders, and sneaking into college dorm rooms through open windows. Reviled as pests or loved as an endearing amusement, squirrels have played important roles in trade, literature, and mythology. Thorington and Ferrell cover every aspect of this diverse animal family, from the first squirrels of 36 million years ago to the present day. With over one hundred photographs and an intuitive question-and-answer format, this authoritative and engaging guide sheds light on a common mammal that is anything but commonplace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow a year in the life of Volans, a flying squirrel, as she glides in the night air to hunt for food, deftly avoids danger from a raccoon, and gives birth to three tiny pups before preparing once again for the coming winter. Emerging at night from a cozy nest high in a tree, Volans the flying squirrel glides down. Although called a “flying” squirrel, she actually doesn’t fly—she glides using fur-covered flaps. Her instincts lead her to her hidden cache of food. She is also looking for a roomier hiding place because she is ready to give birth. When her pups are born she stays close to home, giving them milk and keeping them safe from predators until they can venture out on their own. Filled with intriguing facts and gorgeous illustrations, readers will be fascinated by the story of these remarkable rodents. This latest title in the Secret Life series has been vetted by a flying squirrel expert and includes back matter with more in-depth information, a glossary, and further resources.
Download or read book Do Habitat Use and Parasitism Lead to Reinforcement in a Flying Squirrel Hybrid Zone written by Paul Philip O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern and southern flying squirrels are sympatric in Ontario due to climate change. In this area of range overlap hybridization occurs. I investigated potential species barriers in this recent hybrid zone. First I examined whether divergence in microhabitat use through time would lead to reinforcement of reproductive isolation. I found microhabitat variables to be weak predictors of trap-level species presence and found no evidence of divergence between species over 18 years. I also found latitude to be the strongest predictor of species occurrence across sites. Second, I tested whether parasite-mediated competition via the parasite, Strongyloides robustus, could maintain species barriers. I found a weak negative effect of S. robustus on northern flying squirrels, but I found a low parasite prevalence in southern flying squirrels compared to northern flying squirrels. Further, I found no evidence that presence of S. robustus would lead to competitive exclusion of northern flying squirrels from woodlots through apparent competition with southern flying squirrels. Therefore, divergence in microhabitat use and parasite-mediated competition do not appear to contribute to reproductive isolation of flying squirrels in Ontario.
