Abstract:

Flying squirrels are nocturnal, gliding relatives of tree and ground squirrels (order Sciuridae). Despite 49 species existing, literature on Asiatic flying squirrels is scarce, thus they are overlooked in conservation action plans. Recently, three species of giant flying squirrel (Aeromys tephromelas, Petaurista petaurista and Aeromys thomasi) were observed during a nocturnal mammal survey at the Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), an Eco centre at the edge of the Kabili-Sepilok forest reserve in Sepilok, Sabah (Malaysia, Borneo). The survey (February–March 2023) incorporated the use of red LED

We selected two isolated mammalian populations, the Black Hills northern flying squirrel ( Glaucomys sabrinus (Shaw, 1801)) and red squirrel ( Tamiasciurus hudsonicus (Erxleben, 1777)), to elucidate their genetic structure. We trapped both squirrels from 2005 to 2007, in three regions of the Black Hills, differing in geology and vegetation, to collect ear samples for genetic analyses. Microsatellite loci (northern flying (9) and red squirrel (13)) were used to examine genetic structure. Data analyses estimated genetic variability, substructure, and gene flow.

Abstract:

Strongyloides robustus is a unique parasite that has conservation impacts for sciurid populations in North America. In some squirrel species, like the southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans), the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and the red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), pathology is relatively benign. However in the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus), S. robustus infestation can result in high mortality. The objective of this project was to survey the prevalence of S. robustus within the squirrel species currently found in south- central Pennsylvania so that th

While an array of taxa are capable of producing fluorescent pigments, fluorescence in mammals is a novel and poorly understood phenomenon.

Abstract Endangered species management is typically informed by an ecological knowledge of a species. Currently, little is known about the distribution and ecology of the Japanese flying squirrel (Pteromys momonga).

Digestive tracts of 91 northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) were analyzed for food items; 28 were from northwestern Oregon and 63 from northeastern Oregon. Ninety percent or more of the ingested materials were fungi and lichens, including 20 genera of hypogeous fungi. The northern flying squirrel, in using hypogeous fungi as a major food source, is an important nocturnal disperser of the spores. In Oregon coniferous forests, these fungi are obligatory ectomycorrhizal symbionts with the trees in which the squirrels live.

Nine genera of hypogeous Basidiomycetes, 10 of hypogeous Ascomycetes, and 1 of hypogeous Zygomycetes were identified from fecal samples (hypogeous fungi fruit underground). The squirrel food habits generally paralleled the seasonal availability of the hypogeous fungi, but with notable exceptions. Our data demonstrate the functional diversity an individual species lends to its habitat when viewed in a functional context.

Abstract:

Flying squirrels are poorly studied nocturnal mammals as their elusive and nocturnal behaviour makes it hard to observe them in the wild. Here, we describe sightings of Petaurista petaurista on a limestone hill and its foot at Merapoh, Pahang, Malaysia. This is the first report as the species is usually known to inhabit forest habitat. We observed the first squirrel resting on a steep limestone wall at night. During subsequent nights, three individuals were observed feeding on Ficus hispida and Terminalia catappa fruits on the foot of the hill in nearby trees. These sightings suggest that P. p

Abstract:

Abstract Northern ( Glaucomys sabrinus ) and southern ( G. volans ) flying squirrels have glucocorticoid (GC; stress hormone) levels higher than most vertebrates but virtually no binding capacity for these GCs via the carrier protein, corticosteroid-binding globulin. Thus, their total GCs are essentially all free and biologically active. However, the GC estimates come from blood samples taken after squirrels had been in live traps, and thus in a stress-induced state. Obtaining baseline values for physiological variables is valuable for assessing the response of vertebrates to stressors in thei

Abstract:

Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796–1866) was one of the earliest European naturalists to live in Japan. Through most of the nineteenth century, however, until the 1860s, movement of foreigners within Japan was severely restricted, impairing Siebold's ability to observe wildlife in the countryside or collect zoological specimens. Among the Japanese mammals that Siebold was able to see, if not necessarily in the wild, and acquire examples of, was Pteropus dasymallus, the Ryukyu Flying Fox. On the basis of Siebold's early work, Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1778–1858), in 1825, first described the specie

A 33 month-old male flying squirrel kept in a zoo developed progressive dyspnea and died. Macroscopically, the liver and lung were enlarged with numerous nodular vesicles. Histologically, these organs were replaced by numerous collapsed vesicles demarcated by fibrous tissues. The cysts lined by a cellular, germinal layer contained numerous brood capsules with abundant production of well-developed protoscolices. Protoscolices were about 80-100 •_m in diameter, and had hooks being visible as refractive structures. This zoo locates in the east of Hokkaido where is an endemic area of Echinococcus

Abstract:

The latitudinal gradient theory explains the uneven distribution of taxa richness across the world. We explore this theory using genera of Sciuridae (Mammalia: Rodentia). Distribution data for each genus were obtained from literature and mapped with the WorldMap program. The two hemispheres were subdivided into 23 latitudinal bands of equal area. As the total number of genera in each latitudinal band was influenced by the different available area, data were normalized prior to analyses. Then, genera density of each latitudinal band was correlated with latitude, and the ratio of genera richness

In this current Investigation, a solar PV system is applied. The Flying Squirrel Search Optimization (FSSO) algorithm for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is examined. The flying squirrel's movement serves as inspiration for the FSSO algorithm, which simulates their movements and evaluates fitness to find the optimal voltage and current levels for maximum power output. Through dynamic positioning of "squirrels" (potential solutions), the algorithm strives to find the optimal voltage and current combination, hence optimizing the PV system's total efficiency.

Abstract:

Petinomys fuscocapillus (Kelaart, 1852) is one of two nocturnal Squirrels found in Sri Lanka, and the distribution of the species is only known through a few possible occurrences and museum specimens which were collected nearly hundred years ago. The species was considered to be extinct in India until 1989, when it was rediscovered in a coconut grove in Kerala state, India. In Sri Lanka it was reported by Phillips (1935) from the wet and intermediate zones of the island, and subsequently the occurrence of this species was confirmed by camera trap by Jayasekara et al.

Abstract:

Live trapping is a common tool used to assess demography of small mammals. However, live-trapping is often expensive and stressful to captured individuals. Thus, assessing the relative tradeoffs among study goals, project expenses, and animal well-being is necessary. Here, we evaluated how apparent bias and precision of estimates for apparent annual survival, abundance, capture probability, and recapture probability of Humboldt’s flying squirrels (Glaucomys oregonensis) varied with the number of secondary trapping occasions. We used data from forested sites trapped on 12 consecutive occasions

Abstract:

The Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans L.) is one of the most poorly studied mammal species in the Belarusian fauna. In Belarus, the species inhabits the south-western border of its distribution range. Despite a multitude of its high conservation statuses, as well as extremely scarce information on the species’ distribution and biology in the country, no special studies on the species have been conducted. The last reliably documented record of the flying squirrel was made more than 20 years ago, in 1996, in Viciebsk District, in the territory of Suražski forestry [Red Data... 2015]. Oth
