Item Homing in and Ecology of the Southern Flying Squirrel Glaucomys volans in Southeastern Virginia(1984) Sherrie L. Sawyer; Robert K. RoseA population of the southern flying squirrel Glaucomys volans in southeastern Virginia was examined for its homing ability. Nest boxes were used to capture the experimental animals and to evaluate homing. Squirrels returned home with high frequency from distances up to 1000 m. There was a significant association between low temperature and large aggregations of huddling squirrels in nest boxes. Holes used as feeding stations were never converted to primary nests.
