Conservation of genetic uniqueness in remaining populations of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris L.) in the South of England

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5233

Abstract: Abstract The Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is an emblematic species for conservation, and its decline in the British Isles exemplifies the impact that alien introductions can have on native ecosystems. Indeed, red squirrels in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-017-1104-7

Abstract: Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) are common hosts of ixodid ticks and could thus carry tick-borne disease agents. The relative contribution of the red squirrel, a medium-sized rodent species, to the transmission dynamics of tick-borne… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-024-00749-y

Abstract: Camera traps are a powerful tool to monitor the activity pattern of species over long time periods. Camera data can be used to analyze activity patterns of or temporal niche partitioning among species. Temporal niche… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.02.014

Abstract: For territorial species, the ability to be behaviourally plastic in response to changes in their social environment may be beneficial by allowing individuals to mitigate conflict with conspecifics and reduce the costs of territoriality. Here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182024001513

Abstract: Parasite species interactions, host biology traits, and external environmental factors can drive co-occurrence patterns between parasite species. We investigated co-occurrence patterns between three ectoparasite species (mite ( Neotrombicula harperi ), and fleas ( Orchopeas caedens… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10256016.2023.2179045

Abstract: ABSTRACT Eurasian red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris have unusually high δ 13C values compared to other forest rodents, which is seemingly related to the consumption of 13C-enriched conifer seeds. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the… read more here.

Eurasian Red Squirrels Show Little Seasonal Variation in Metabolism in Food-Enriched Habitat

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Physiological and Biochemical Zoology"

DOI: 10.1086/694847

Abstract: Energy expenditure and ambient temperature (Ta) are intrinsically linked through changes in an animal’s metabolic rate. While the nature of this relationship is stable, the breadth of change in thermoregulatory cost varies with body size… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biological Journal of the Linnean Society"

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blz038

Abstract: Isle Royale (western Lake Superior, USA) is a geographically isolated archipelago with the potential to sustain endemic populations. The island has served as an ecological model for predator–prey interactions between wolves and moose, but little… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Evolutionary Applications"

DOI: 10.1111/eva.70072

Abstract: Remnant populations of endangered species often have complex demographic histories associated with human impact. This can present challenges for conservation as the genetic status of these populations are often a-typical of natural populations, and may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abn0665

Abstract: Mismatches between an organism’s phenotype and its environment can result in short-term fitness costs. Here, we show that some phenotype–environment mismatch errors can be explained by asymmetrical costs of different types of errors in wild… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/vr.j1920

Abstract: Leprosy due to Mycobacterium lepromatosis infection was first diagnosed in red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) on the Isle of Wight in 2015. Acid-fast bacilli typical of Mycobacterium species were observed histologically in two animals that had… read more here.
