Range expansion of a declining forest species, the Western Gray Squirrel (Sciurus griseus), into semi-arid woodland by Sultaire, SM, Montgomery, RA, Jackson, PJ, Millspaugh, JJ

“…A species distribution model parameterized with historical gray squirrel observations (pre-1950), indicated increased climatic suitability for the species on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada in recent decades, which may have facilitated this range expansion. Our findings reveal the potential for species declining in their historical range to colonize novel habitats that become increasingly suitable as a result of human-driven changes to ecosystems.…”
