    Abstract: <p>Northern flying squirrels (NFS) are mycophagous specialists (fungi-dominated diet) thatmay be displaced with southern flying squirrel (SFS) range expansion, thereby limiting
    fungal dispersal in forest communities. To understand the implications of squirrel
    species turnover on mycophagy, we investigated the home ranges of both flying squirrel
    species who are living in stable sympatry. We… more
