摘要
Observation of individually marked Fox Squirrels and Eastern Gray Squirrels during 27 mating chases yielded information on the frequency of male participation in mating bouts of congeneric females. Males rarely participated in the mating bouts of females of the other sympatric squirrel species (1.9% of participating males) and copulation was not attempted. All instances of mixed-species chases involved Fox Squirrel males participating in Eastern Gray Squirre female mating bouts.
