Effects of southern flying squirrels Glaucomys volans on red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis reproductive success
Anecdotal data gathered from many populations suggest that southern flying squirrel (SFS, Gluucomys volans) use of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker’s (RCW, Picoides borealis) nest and roost cavities may negatively affect RCW populations. We conducted a controlled experiment to determine the effects of SFSs on RCW reproductive success. During the 1994 and 1995 breeding seasons, SFSs were r...
متن کاملMonitoring Southern Flying Squirrel Populations with Nest Boxes
Evaluating the practicality, economic, and sampling efficiency of potential monitoring programs is a first step in validation. Thus, we established a system of nest boxes in southeast Ohio to evaluate the feasibility of using a system of nest boxes to monitor changes in southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans) populations. We recorded the time of box placement until first usage and types of ...
متن کاملGenetic relatedness of North American populations of Tomicus piniperda (Coleoptera:Scolytidae).
We used DNA fingerprinting by random amplified polymorphic (RAPD) DNA and electrophoretic characterization of esterase isozymes to investigate the genetic relatedness of North American populations of the exotic bark beetle Tomicus piniperda (L.). Cluster analyses of genetic distances among populations identified the Illinois population as an outlier population with mean genetic distances to oth...
متن کاملFirst case of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in a zoo-housed flying squirrel (Pteromys volans orii).
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-develop...
متن کاملGenetic structure of Caspian Sea southern area honeybee populations, based on microsatellite polymorphism
Genetic diversity is a key component of ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of Iranian native honeybee colonies (Apis mellifera meda L.) located in the northern region. Colonies from 24 locations have been analyzed using microsatellite markers. Samples were collected from Caspian Sea southern area (north of Iran). Six microsatellite markers (A28, A29, ...
