How large are their home ranges? Does this differ between sexes or different sized squirrels? How do spatial movements differ in summer and winter? How long do squirrels survive? Do squirrels prefer to build their drays (nests!) inside trees or on branches with leaves? Who knows. So we set forth to answer these and other pressing issues of our time. We catch, measure, ear-tag and radio collar gray squirrels on campus and track them for as long as they live. We collect these data via an amazing GIS app&#8211;Collector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/04\/IMG_4685-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/04\/IMG_4685-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/04\/IMG_4685-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kady Winsor (ENV Science 2019) tracking radio collared gray squirrels on the Biddeford campus of the University of New England.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Squirrelogy: the study of squirrels, particularly gray squirrels in Biddeford, Maine.
