Abstract:Artificial habitat enhancements are important forest structural components that can increase the survival of squirrels (Sciuridae) and thus warrant study. Investigations of squirrel nest box usage can provide useful demographic and community information such as occupancy rates, litter size, habitat preference, species richness and abundance estimates. This artificial nest box study investigated the nesting patterns of squirrels from late winter through early fall 2011 in managed forest stands in Clinton County… Show more
