Abstract
⺠We examined distribution and habitat correlates of the flying squirrel in Finland. ⺠Flying squirrel was mostly found in central-western Finland. ⺠Occurrence was strongly related to amount of mature spruce dominated forests. ⺠The species utilizes fragmented landscape mosaics with adequate quality habitat. ⺠Preserving mature spruce dominated patches will benefit the species.
