Abstract:

Carolina northern flying squirrels are an endangered species with only nine known populations existing in the high peaks of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. With the habitat of this elusive creature threatened by tree mortality, increasing tourism in the Appalachians, four-lane roads, and predators like bobcats, foxes, and coyotes, scientists seek to learn all they can about this Appalachian acrobat to save the species from further decline.
