Reproduction In The Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus Hudsonicus) In Colorado, Richard A. Dolbeer May 1973

Reproduction In The Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus Hudsonicus) In Colorado, Richard A. Dolbeer

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Information on reproduction of the red squirrel (Tamiasciumrs hudsonicus) can be gleaned from studies in the northeastern United States (Klugh, 1927; Hamilton, 1939; Layne, 1954) and in western Canada (Miller, 1970; Smith, 1968; Kemp and Keith, 1971; Wood, 1967). However, there is a paucity of information on reproduction from the mountainous regions of the western United States. This paper presents reproductive information on the red squirrel from Colorado and helps fill this void. In addition, the reproductive strategy of red squirrels is briefly compared with that of snowshoe hares.
