Morphological change in an isolated population of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain

Morphological change in an isolated population of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain

The mechanical properties of dietary items are known to influence skull morphology, either through evolution or by phenotypic plasticity. Here, we investigated the impact of supplementary feeding of peanuts on the morphology of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) from five populations in Britain (North...
