Abstract
Editorial: Ecological, Behavioral and Genomic Consequences in the Rodent Family Sciuridae: Why Are Squirrels So Diverse?
Highlights

Distinct species within a single genus can live in extremely different conditions, such as marmots or ground squirrels that range from arid to permafrost regions
Resource availability is a driver for social systems and home range dynamics, and differences in the timing of these resources suggest that extrinsic factors rather than body size, influenced home range, and territoriality in two closely related tree squirrels (Mazzamuto et al.)
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Biogeography and Macroecology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. Ecological, Behavioral and Genomic Consequences in the Rodent Family Sciuridae: Why Are Squirrels So Diverse? With >300 species living across the globe in a range of habitats such as deserts, high altitudes and rainforests, their diversity in morphology, ecology, and behavior is broad.
