The Squirrel Glider: An Autoecological Study in a Fragmented Landscape (964 words) |
 | The primary aim of this study was to investigate the ecology of the squirrel glider in a region where the potential habitat of the species exists in fragmented landscape. |
| Births in squirrel gliders occurred in almost all months of the year over the 2.5 year trapping program, with a mean litter size of 1.6 and a natality rate of 1.8 young per year. |
| Squirrel gliders were found in all the size categories of remnant area provided that the habitat was suitable, although higher densities of gliders occurred in bushland remnants that were greater than 200 ha in size. |
| Sugar Glider and Squirrel Glider (1082 words) |
| The Squirrel Glider's muzzle is somewhat sharper but both have the distinctive fl stripe from the forehead area to down the back. |
| Sugar Gliders are found mainly in the higher forested regions and Squirrel Gliders in the lowland coastal bush areas. |
| Colonies of gliders that have managed to survive in remnant habitat in cities such as Brisbane are particularly under threat because these remnant habitats are continually at risk of being fragmented. |
