In many mammalian species, the selection of home ranges mainly occurs during natal dispersal.
We used radio telemetry to record the habitat and nest use of Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in the city of Turku in southwestern Finland, with the main focus on habitat use during natal dispersal.
We hypothesized that (1) habitat features that are avoided within an animal's home range offer little resistance to animals during natal or breeding dispersal and more specifically that (2) resistance to dispersal is a negative exponential function of habitat suitability within the home range.
Three sequential behavioural stages have been identified during natal dispersal; emigration, transience and immigration [ 5, 6], although the terminology varies somewhat across studies including e.g. departure, transience, settlement or start, transfer, stop [ 2, 7- 10].
Common among these studies is the importance of winter and spring climate during (natal environments) or just prior (maternal or in utero environments) to the year of birth, which we also observed in this study.
For instance, cone production in white spruce during natal periods and temperature during in utero conditions had long-lasting effects on red squirrel reproductive success in the Yukon of Canada [ 37].
