Koprowski </div> <div class="field-uaqs-body"> <p>A new longevity record for the fox squirrel, <em>Sciurus niger rufiventer</em>, is available in the records of the Rose Lake Wildlife Experiment Station near East Lansing, Michigan. One squirrel known to be 7½ years old was shot on the station on October 25, 1956, and another, at least 7½ years old, was shot there on October 23, 1952. These are the oldest squirrels in the 18-year record of the station. Regular live-trapping and tagging of game animals, exceptionally heavy hunting, and a bag check of all hunters on the station insure a high recovery of tagged animals.</p> <p> </p> </div> <h3 class="field-label"> Additional Information </h3> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-addinfo"> <a href="https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article-abstract/69/2/383/836886?redirectedFrom=PDF" target="_blank">Longevity Records for the Fox Squirrel </a> </div> <span class="field-label"> Date of publication: </span> <div class="field-uaqs-year inline"> <span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="1988-01-01T00:00:00-07:00" class="date-display-single">1988</span> </div> <h3 class="field-label"> Topics </h3> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/fox-squirrel" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">fox squirrel</a> </div> <div class="field-uaqs-pub-research-areas"> <a href="/research-categories/longevity" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">longevity</a> </div> Tue, 23 Jul 2019 00:04:25 +0000 thackerk1 189 at https://conservation.arizona.edu
