Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the home range of the Southern Flying Squirrel, Glaucomys volans (hereby SFS), in a winter climate. The study took place in the ravine system on the Grand Valley State University Allendale campus. Thirteen SFS were radio-collared then located using radio-telemetry throughout the winter. Locations were imported into ArcGIS to calculate the home range of each SFS. Home ranges will be compared between males and females as well as juveniles and adults.
