Abstract

From ad: Drawing on more than twenty years of research, the authors detail the behavior, reproduction, diet, physiology, and habitat use of gray and fox squirrels, as well as their complex interdependent relationships with seed-producing trees. In addition to scientific revealations, engaging fieldwork descriptions are included, from the pitfalls of patrolling forests at night in order to check nest boxes to the challenges of fitting squirrels with radio-tracking collars.
