Comparison of nest trees of two sympatric flying squirrel species in northern Pakistan

Tree hollows and forest stand structure in Australian warm temperate Eucalyptus forests are adversely affected by logging more than wildfire

“…In the northern hemisphere, they are important for the conservation of a range of vertebrate fauna including woodpeckers (Hartwig et al, 2004;Roberge et al, 2008), flying squirrels (Hanski et al, 2000;Shafique et al, 2009;Pyare et al, 2010), microbats (Lucan et al, 2009) along with large forest owls (Saurola, 2009), and even invertebrate fauna (Jansson et al, 2009), many of which are threatened due to declines in the hollow resource. In Australia, tree hollows are a key habitat component for animals (Goldingay, 2009;Goldingay, 2012).…”

Different Nest Site Selection of Two Sympatric Arboreal Rodent Species, Siberian Flying Squirrel and Small Japanese Field Mouse, in Hokkaido, Japan

“…Mammals such as Carnivora (Zalewski 1997;Wilson and Nielsen 2007), rodents (Taulman 1999;Shibata et al 2004;Holloway and Malcolm 2007), bats (Sedgeley and O'Donnell 1999;Boonman 2000;Willis and Brigham 2007), and marsupials (Lindenmayer et al 1991;Smith et al 2007;Crane et al 2010), as well as birds (Aitken et al 2002;Martin et al 2004;Adamík and Král 2008), use tree cavities for daily rest, reproduction, and/or overwintering. Sympatric cavity-users often partition their nest cavities to avoid interspecific competition (van Balen et al 1982;Martin et al 2004;Shafique et al 2009). …”

“…Larger flying squirrels use larger trees with larger entrances than do smaller flying squirrel species (Shafique et al 2009). Larger bird species also nest in larger entrance cavities than do smaller species (van Balen et al 1982).…”

Temporal differences in breeding site use between tits and mice

“…Intra-class interactions, such as mammal-mammal (Shafique et al 2009, Nakamura-Kojo et al 2016 or bird-bird (Minot andPerrins 1986, Newton 1994) have been more thoroughly investigated. Inter-class -bird-mammal interactions, in contrast, are likely to go unrecognised and have been systematically ignored by scientists, despite the fact that they are important to understand cavity-breeding ecology (Czeszczewik et al 2008).…”
