Mark‐Recapture Survival Estimates of Sympatric Northern and Southern Flying Squirrels 同域分布的北方鼯鼠与南方鼯鼠的标记重捕存活率估算

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 99-108, September 2025.
Climate change is leading to sympatric populations of northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern (Glaucomys volans) flying squirrels; however, we do not know how vital rates like survival are changing following this novel secondary contact. Using mark‐recapture data from sympatric populations, we found nearly identical annual survival rates (0.20 and 0.
