Animals that glide produce aerodynamic forces that enable transit through the air in both
arboreal and aquatic environments. The relative ease of gliding compared with flapping …

Gliding is an efficient form of travel found in every major group of terrestrial vertebrates.
Gliding is often modelled in equilibrium, where aerodynamic forces exactly balance body …

Gliding animals traverse cluttered aerial environments when performing ecologically
relevant behaviours. However, it is unknown how gliders execute collision-free flight over …

Context Loss and degradation of habitat from urban development is a key threat to the
squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis), because its distribution coincides where most people …

Endangered species management is typically informed by an ecological knowledge of a
species. Currently, little is known about the distribution and ecology of the Japanese flying …

Flying squirrels have important roles in ecosystems, dispersing seeds and spores. However,
flying squirrel species, which strongly depend on old mature forests, have declined in …

Abstract In the Unicoi Mountains of southwestern North Carolina, USA, a 2 lane scenic
byway created a barrier to dispersal for the federally endangered Carolina northern flying …

Seasonal changes of activity patterns are an important survival strategy for several species.
Seasonal changes in the activity patterns of Japanese flying squirrels (Pteromys momonga) …

Abstract Evaluation of the fundamental niche under controlled conditions can provide
relevant information about physiological, evolutionary, and ecological aspects of an …

Populations of the Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans are declining as a result of
intensive forestry that has removed cavity trees. To conserve the cavities preferred by …
