Northern flying squirrels (NFS) are mycophagous specialists (fungi-dominated diet) that may 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 found no significant difference in home range sizes and identified spatial overlap between the two species. Through habitat selection ratios we found SFS were strongly selecting for deciduous-dominated habitats more than NFS. Lastly, we conducted microscopy on flying squirrel scat and found NFS were eating more fungi than SFS. We conclude that the squirrels are sharing the same habitat landscape but are finding ways to partition the habitat accordingly to allow for sympatry. SFS may contribute to the spore-dispersal cycle similarly to their northern counterpart through moderate fungus consumption and large home range sizes.
