dc.description.abstract | An understanding of the factors which shape the range of, and distribution of diversity
within, a species, is fundamental in understanding both the species itself, but also, the
effectiveness, if needed, of conservation measures. The Eurasian red squirrel, Sciurus
vulgaris, is one of the most widely studied of the Scuiridae, however research into the
effects of historical, geographical and local factors which are instrumental in shaping the
diversity of the species are scarce. As well as increasing understanding of the species, this
information will be critical in designing conservation strategies in the face of ongoing
replacement of the red squirrel in the British Isles and Italy, and possibly in the future
mainland Europe, by the introduced American grey squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis. | |
