  • Sex-Specific Patterns in Body Mass and Mating System in the Siberian Flying Squirrel Vesa Selonen1*, Ralf Wistbacka2 and Andrea Santangeli3
    Selonen et al. BMC Zoology (2016) 1:9 DOI 10.1186/s40850-016-0009-3 BMC Zoology RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Sex-specific patterns in body mass and mating system in the Siberian flying squirrel Vesa Selonen1*, Ralf Wistbacka2 and Andrea Santangeli3 Abstract Background: Reproductive strategies and evolutionary pressures differ between males and females. This often results in size differences between the sexes, and also in sex-specific seasonal variation in body mass. Seasonal variation in body mass is also affected by other factors, such as weather. Studies on sex-specific body mass patterns may contribute to better understand the mating system of a species. Here we quantify patterns underlying sex-specific body mass variation using a long-term dataset on body mass in the Siberian flying squirrel, Pteromys volans. Results: We show that female flying squirrels were larger than males based on body mass and other body measures. Males had lowest body mass after the breeding season, whereas female body mass was more constant between seasons, when the pregnancy period was excluded. Male body mass did not increase before the mating season, despite the general pattern that males with higher body mass are usually dominant in squirrel species. Seasonal body mass variation was linked to weather factors, but this relationship was not straightforward to interpret, and did not clearly affect the trend in body mass observed over the 22 years of study. Conclusions: Our study supports the view that arboreal squirrels often deviate from the general pattern found in mammals for larger males than females. The mating system seems to be the main driver of sex-specific seasonal body mass variation in flying squirrels, and conflicting selective pressure may occur for males to have low body mass to facilitate gliding versus high body mass to facilitate dominance.

We analyzed partial mitochondrial cyto- chrome b gene sequences (1,068 base pairs) to investigate the phylogenetic relationships among six flying squirrel genera (Belomys, Hylopetes, Petaurista, Petinomys, and Pteromys from Asia and Glaucomys from North America). Molecular phylogenetic trees, constructed by neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood methods, strongly indicated the closer relationship between Hylopetes and Petinomys with 100% bootstrap values. Belomys early split from other flying squirrels. Petaurista was closely related to Pteromys, and Glaucomys was most closely related to the cluster consisting of Hylopetes and Petinomys. The bootstrap values supporting branching at the deeper nodes were not always so high, suggesting the early radiation in the evolution of flying squirrels.

  • Nest Box Utility for Arboreal Small Mammals in Vietnam's Tropical Forest Использование Дуплянок Для И
    Russian J. Theriol. 10(2): 5964 © RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF THERIOLOGY, 2011 Nest box utility for arboreal small mammals in Vietnams tropical forest Ami Kato, Tatsuo Oshida, Son Truong Nguyen, Nghia Xuan Nguyen, Hao Van Luon, Tue Van Ha, Bich Quang Truong, Hideki Endo & Dang Xuan Nguyen ABSTRACT. To test nest box utility in a Southeast Asian tropical forest, we set 30 wooden nest boxes on trees in the Cuc Phuong National Park, Vietnam for a year. During the rainy season, we checked each nest box each month in the daytime. We expected that arboreal rodents might be more likely to use the nest boxes as shelter from the heavy rain. During dry season, we additionally checked each nest box every two months. We expected that nest boxes would be used as a shelter from the rain by small arboreal mammals, such as rats and flying squirrels in the rainy season more than in the dry season. During the rainy season, we found ants, bees, and birds mainly nested the nest boxes for reproduction: bees in April; ants from May to August; and birds from April to June. From the late rainy season to the dry season, arboreal small mammals mainly used nest boxes: rats from August to February and flying squirrel in December. Nest resource competition between birds and rodents may be minimal since they use cavities in different seasons. Also, unlike our expectation, it was preliminary suggested that arboreal small rodents would use more frequently nest box in the dry season than in the rainy season. KEY WORDS: flying squirrel, rat, rainy season, dry season, competition, nest resource, nest material.

One population (studied 2002– Flora Fennica; Vuokon luonnonsuojelusäätiö, Grant/Award Number: 259562 and 289456 2014) fluctuated around a steady- state equilibrium, whereas the other (studied 1995– 2014) showed a numerical decline. Immigration was the demographic rate which showed clear correlations to annual population growth rates in both populations. Population growth rate was density dependent in both populations. None of the de- mographic rates nor the population growth rate correlated across the two study popu- lations, despite their proximity suggesting that factors regulating the dynamics are determined locally. We conclude that flying squirrels may persist in a network of uncoupled subpopulations, where movement between subpopulations is of critical importance.

The population of the species is declining worldwide throughout its distribution range. Its ecology has been studied well in different regions, especially in Finland. While several studies have been carried out on Siberian flying squirrels, little is known concerning the species’ spatial ecology in South Korea. In this study, we captured, collared, and tracked 21 animals at Mt. Baekwoon, Gangwon Province, South Korea, to investigate their movement ecology. We obtained home range size and habitat use estimates. The home range size of Siberian flying squirrels differs from those of populations in other regions. They show active movement after sunset as nocturnal species and prefer old mature deciduous forest.

  • Population Density of Small Kashmir Flying Squirrel (Hylopetes Fimbriatus
    16 Pakistan J. Wildl., vol. 1(1): 16-19, 2010 Population density of Small Kashmir flying squirrel Hylopetes( fimbriatus) at Dhir Kot, District Bagh, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Naeem Akhtar Abbasi*¹, Sajid Mahmood2, Sakhawat Ali3, Naveed Ahmed Qureshi3 and Muhammad Rais3 1Department of Environmental Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamaba, Pakistan 2Department of Zoology, Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan. 3Department of Wildlife Management, PMAS-Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan Abstract: The study was conducted to estimate the population of the small Kashmir flying squirrel in the district Bagh. The study area was divided into two sampling sites depending upon the vegetation and overall climatic variation. Surveys were conducted in the study area from October 2008 to June 2009. Line transect method was used to estimate the population of Kashmir flying squirrel. Each site was visited twice in a month. Transects were randomly selected in each study site and observations were recorded while walking through transects. Population density was estimated as 2.28 per hectare. Population density of at site A (1370-1690 m) was estimated to be 2.23 per hectare whereas the density at site B (1690-1980 m) was 2.33 per hectare. Maximum number of squirrels was recorded in June, 2009 (5.04 squirrels per ha) while the lowest number was recorded in February, 2008 (0.18 squirrels per ha). Density of the Kashmir flying squirrel increased in summer and declined drastically in winter months. Key words: Population dynamics, hardwood trees, temperate forest Indo-Malayan region, red Muirrels. INTRODUCTION preparation was found to have negative affect on flying squirrel population (Waters and Zabel, 1995).
