Abstract

Forest type selection by the Japanese squirrel, Sciurus lis TEMMINCK, was investigated in an area of fragmented vegetation near Mt. Takao, Tokyo. The radio-tracked 7 male and 6 female squirrels stayed in natural forests most frequently and in mixed-species forests second most frequently during both active day time and inactive night time. The squirrels spent less time in artificial coniferous and deciduous forests, except for walnut stands, a major foraging site, and avoided arboretum, shrub and grass.
