Abstrakt:	The article discusses the study on the demography of northern flying squirrels informs ecosystem management of western interior forests. The authors quantified habitat characteristics and squirrel density, population trends and demography in three typical forest cover types over a four-year period. It indicates that ponderosa pine forest appeared to be poorer habitat for flying squirrels than young or mature mixed-conifer forest. Population density in ponderosa pine forest was half that of mixed-conifer forest.
