Ecological scale and species-habitat modeling: studies on the Northern flying squirrel.
… scale by studying free-ranging populations of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus), purported to be a keystone species in northern forests. Coarse-grain digital forest coverage revealed that flying squirrels in the boreal and foothills of Alberta were not conifer specialists, rather …

Genetic Variability, Pathogen Susceptibility, Subspecies Identity and Conservation of the Endangered Northern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) in Virginia
I examined the population genetic structure of three known subspecies of Glaucomys sabrinus from Appalachia, Washington State, and two previously unexamined populations from Mount Rogers National Recreation Area (MRNRA) in Southwestern Virginia. Mean FST (0.107) and an AMOVA (P G. sabrinus …

Restoration of Red Spruce (Picea rubens) and Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) Habitat in West Virginia
The Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus, VNFS) is a rare subspecies that relies on high-elevation red spruce (Picea rubens) forests in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and Virginia. Existing habitat suitability models emphasize the composition of the red …

Modeling the Distribution of the Northern Hardwood Forest Type in Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus) Recovery Areas of the Southern Appalachians
The northern hardwood forest type is a critical habitat component for the endangered Carolina northern flying squirrel (CNFS; Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus) for denning sites and corridor habitats between montane conifer patches where the squirrel forages. This study examined terrain data, and …

Determining Habitat Associations of Virginia and Carolina Northern Flying Squirrels in the Appalachian Mountains from Bioacoustic and Telemetry Surveys
The Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) and the Carolina northern flying squirrel (G. s. coloratus) are geographically isolated subspecies of the northern flying squirrel found in montane conifer-northern hardwood forests the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United …

A methodology for mapping probable ranges of endangered terrestrial mammals within selected areas of Virginia
… in Virginia -- water shrew (Sorex palustris), northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus), and Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis). Computer maps were produced showing the distribution of areas potentially favorable to each species in one of two study areas in Virginia. Maps produced by this method …

Small Mammal Survey of Wind Cave National Park
… mammals in WCNP; (4) document the locations of northern flying squirrels in WCNP; and (5) determine vegetation alliances found within flying squirrel home ranges. Field work was conducted during the summers of 1999 and 2000. In 1999, 20 vegetation alliances with multiple replicates were sampled …

Evaluating Competition Between Sympatric Flying Squirrels (Glaucomys Spp.) In Northeastern Minnesota
… competition between species with similar niches. Northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern flying squirrels (G. volans) have increasingly overlapping ranges due to warming temperatures across eastern North America, including northern Minnesota. We evaluated whether the two …
