Koprowski </div> <div class="field-uaqs-body"> <p>Adult eastern gray squirrels influence recruitment into local populations by directing aggression at juveniles and nonresidents. However, the role of juveniles in the social dynamics of squirrel populations is poorly understood. Field interactions among juvenile squirrels were studied between littermates and nonlittermates. Amicable interactions occurred only between littermates, while aggression was directed almost exclusively at nonlittermates. Juveniles within their own natal areas dominated nonresident juveniles. Interactions among juveniles appear to be influenced by kinship and may be important in determining recruitment patterns in squirrel populations.</p> <p> </p> </div> <h3 class="field-label"> Additional Information </h3> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-addinfo"> <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/238028574_The_role_of_kinship_in_field_interactions_among_juvenile_gray_squirrels_Sciurus_carolinensis" target="_blank">The role of kinship in field interactions among juvenile gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis)</a> </div> <span class="field-label"> Date of publication: </span> <div class="field-uaqs-year inline"> <span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="1993-01-01T00:00:00-07:00" class="date-display-single">1993</span> </div> <h3 class="field-label"> Topics </h3> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/eastern-gray-squirrel" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">eastern gray squirrel</a> </div> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/juvenile" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">juvenile</a> </div> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/littermates" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">littermates</a> </div> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/nonlittermates" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">nonlittermates</a> </div> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/interactions" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">interactions</a> </div> Mon, 22 Jul 2019 23:58:01 +0000 thackerk1 185 at https://conservation.arizona.edu
