Survival and Population Growth Rate of the Threatened Siberian Flying Squirrel (Pteromys volans) in a Fragmented Forest Landscape
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used mark-recapture data from 1992 to 2004 for three flying squirrel populations to estimate the demographic parameters of these populations and found a decline in adult survival and population growth rate during the study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are habitat loss, predation risk and climate related to the drastic decline in a Siberian flying squirrel population? A 15 year study
Jane Koskimäki,Otso Huitu,Janne S. Kotiaho,Satu Lampila,Antero Mäkelä,Risto Sulkava,Mikko Mönkkönen +6 more
TL;DR: The number of flying squirrels was associated with the amount of available habitat, but the decline in population size was more rapid than the loss of habitat area, and the population might become extinct by the year 2020.
Journal ArticleDOI
Difficulty of Getting Accurate and Precise Estimates of Population Size: The Case of the Siberian Flying Squirrel in Finland
TL;DR: In 1998, the Finnish Ministry of Environment set up a working group to plan a national-level survey for estimation and monitoring of the population size of Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population fluctuations and spatial synchrony in an arboreal rodent.
Vesa Selonen,Jaanus Remm,Jaanus Remm,Ilpo K. Hanski,Heikki Henttonen,Otso Huitu,Maarit Jokinen,Erkki Korpimäki,Antero Mäkelä,Risto Sulkava,Ralf Wistbacka +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that spatial synchrony was not unequivocally related to distance in flying squirrels, as has been observed in earlier studies for more abundant rodent species and the role of climate in population fluctuations and the synchrony of the species.
