Distribution Probability of the Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel in the High Allegheny Mountains

W. Mark Ford, Corinne A. Diggins, Jesse L. De La Cruz, Alexander Silvis

In the central Appalachians of Virginia and West Virginia, the Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus; VNFS) is a subspecies of northern flying squirrel generally associated with red spruce (Picea rubens)-dominated forests at high elevations. Listed as endangered by the U.S. …

Resource selection for an endangered flying squirrel, Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus, in a montane sky-island system

Katherine M. Gorman, Christine A. Kelly, Corinne A. Diggins, Mark Endries et autres

Geographically isolated endemic species and their habitats in montane systems face stressors of rapid climate change as well as legacy and contemporary land use change. In the case of endangered species in fragmented terrestrial montane habitats, effectively sky-islands, insight into habitat use …

History and Biogeography

Corinne A. Diggins, Charles V. Cogbill, Melissa A. Thomas‐Van Gundy

Abstract The geographic distributions of species change over time as climates shift during glacial to interglacial periods. In this chapter, we describe the history and biogeography (distribution through geographic space and geologic time) of red spruce ( Picea rubens ) beginning with …

Wildlife

Donald D. Brown, Hannah L. Clipp, Corinne A. Diggins, Craig Roghair et autres

Abstract A wide variety of wildlife species occur in red spruce ( Picea rubens ) and spruce-fir forests, and these forest types represent optimal habitat for several vertebrate and invertebrate species of conservation concern. In this chapter, we synthesized our understanding of …

Ecology and Restoration of Red Spruce Ecosystems in the Central and Southern Appalachians

Donald D. Brown, Melissa A. Thomas‐Van Gundy, Corinne A. Diggins, Alexander Silvis et autres

This open access book offers essential guidance for managing and restoring Central and Southern Appalachian red spruce ecosystems amid climate change.

Ecotone Might Provide Key Refugium for Sky Island Mammals in the Southern Appalachian Mountains

Markéta Zímová, Elizabeth M. Kierepka, Andrew Jenkins, Corinne A. Diggins et autres

Sky islands, ecosystems found on geographically isolated mountain peaks, are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world but face a disproportionately high threat from climate change. High‐elevation, montane ecosystems, which are already at their upper altitudinal limits, are predicted to severely …

Broad‐scale assessment of camera traps and acoustic detectors as survey techniques for flying squirrels

Briana J. All, Karma Choki, Michele Lovara, M. Pendleton et autres

Abstract Noninvasive survey methods, such as camera trapping and acoustic monitoring, offer valuable tools for large‐scale wildlife surveys because of their efficacy, cost efficiency, and minimal disturbance to animals. We evaluated the use of camera traps and acoustic detectors, including low‐cost AudioMoth …

Determining bat presence and activity in Petroglyph National Monument to inform visitor management

Emma L. Johnston, Corinne A. Diggins

Petroglyph National Monument (PETR or Monument) is 7,212 acres and is located on the outskirts of the City of Albuquerque. Adjacent land is rapidly being developed leading to increased visitation with potential stress on natural resources. Among these resources are bats which …

Red Spruce Forest Stand Structure and Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel Habitat Suitability

Tanner R. Humbert, Abigail W. McKellips, David R. Carter, P. Corey Green et autres

The Virginia northern flying squirrel ( Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus ; VNFS) is a rare, Pleistocene‐relict, disjunct subspecies of the northern flying squirrel. The squirrel occurs only in high‐elevation red spruce ( Picea rubens ) forests of the central Appalachian Mountains of Virginia …

Habitat parameters influencing the distribution of a geographically isolated flying squirrel

Clark S. Winchell, David A. Holway, Corinne A. Diggins, Paul F. Doherty et autres

Abstract The San Bernardino flying squirrel (SBFS) is an isolated subspecies of Humboldt's flying squirrel, occurring in montane sky islands in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains in Southern California, USA. Recent small mammal surveys in the San Jacinto Mountains suggest …
