Resource Abstract:
- description: The recovery plan for squirrel on Ohio River Islands discusses the current status of the species, habitat requirements
and limiting factors, recovery objectives and criteria, actions required for species recovery, the cost of recovery, and the
expected date for recovery objectives to be met. The purpose of this study was to intensively monitor a group of translocated
Delmarva fox squirrels to determine if they remained in the vicinity of a release site considered suitable using Dueser et
al.'s (1988) modified description of occupied habitat. Our objectives were to determine survival of translocated fox
squirrels, evaluate movements immediately following midspring and midautumn releases and evaluate the influence of forested
habitat types on these movements and site fidelity. Twenty wild-trapped Delmarva fox squirrels ( Sciurus niger cinereus) were
translocated from core population areas to a release site within their former range in Maryland. Squirrels were equipped with
radio-collars and released during midspring and midautumn and monitored at least 90 days postrelease. Nine known deaths occurred
during the study, five within the 1st 35 days. All translocated squirrels remained on the release site.; abstract: The recovery
