Cranial Integration in the Sciuridae [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1996 Synopsis. High correlations among measurements of the cranium in the fox squirrel suggested to Olson and Miller (1958) that the skull in this species is highly integrated: that is, it tends to vary as a unit, and without clear subdivision into discrete independently-varying subunits. The evo?

Squirrel reservoirs of monkeypox virus are sister species separated by the Sanaga River (Cameroon), as are the two main viral clades [PDF]
One HealthMonkeypox is an emerging infectious disease of unclear zoonotic origin in Africa although increasing evidence suggests that rope squirrels are reservoirs of the monkeypox virus (MPXV).Here, we describe new data on the systematics of rope squirrels ...

A review of squirrel alarm-calling behavior: What we know and what we do not know about how predator attributes affect alarm calls [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020 Forty years ago, vervet monkeys were shown to use three different predator-specific calls that elicit three different antipredator behaviors, jump-starting investigation into the information content of animal signals.
