Influence of trap modifications and environmental predictors on capture success of southern flying squirrels

Abstract: Sherman traps are the most commonly used live traps in studies of small mammals and have been successfully used in the capture of arboreal species such as the southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans). However, southern flying squirrels spend proportionately less time foraging on the ground, which necessitates above‐ground trapping methods and modifications of capture protocols. Further, quantitative estimates of the factors affecting capture success of flying squirrel populations have focused solely on effe… Show more

“…We captured SFS using Sherman traps and artificial nest boxes situated along systematically placed transects during summer 2015 and autumn 2014–2016, respectively (Jacques et al ). We checked all Sherman traps daily (0600–0900) to minimize time in traps, stress, and capture‐related mortalities.…”

“…We used Akaike's Information Criterion corrected for small sample sizes (AIC c ) to rank models that best described these data and used Akaike weights ( w i ) as a measure of relative support for model fit (Burnham and Anderson , Jacques et al ). We considered models differing by ≥4 ΔAIC from the highest‐ranked model as noncompetitive and thus excluded them from further consideration (Burnham and Anderson ).…”
