This study examines how gut microbial communities in red squirrels respond to seasonal variation and episodic resource pulses, finding that maternal effects influence microbial convergence during resource pulses but not seasonal changes.

The paper shows that developmental adversity in red squirrels leads to adaptive changes in reproductive strategies over their lifetime, preserving fitness despite reduced opportunities.

This study shows that territorial intrusions in red squirrels facilitate microbial transmission, increasing gut microbial diversity and similarity among socially associated individuals.

This study examines how timing of maternal glucocorticoid exposure affects offspring brain gene expression in wild red squirrels, finding timing-dependent effects on neural gene transcription.
