以北美类似生境的松鼠为参照，对欧洲针叶林中的红松鼠和灰松鼠的生态进行了综述。红松鼠似乎在针叶林中表现最好，那里有很大比例的松树，无论有没有挪威云杉，云杉都是。相比之下，灰松鼠在有橡树种的针叶林中表现最好。附近有橡子。解释了基于森林大小、组成和有无挪威云杉球果作物来预测红松鼠密度的广义线性模型，并对基尔德森林的红松鼠保护区提出了森林管理建议。
Red Sciurus vulgaris and grey Sciurus carolinensis squirrel ecology in conifer forests in Europe is reviewed with reference to squirrels in similar habitats in North America. Red squirrels appear to perform best in conifer forests that contain a large proportion of pine Pinus spp., with or without Norway spruce Picea abies. Grey squirrels, in contrast, perform best in conifer plantations that have oak Quercus spp. and acorns available nearby. A generalised linear model to predict red squirrel density based on forest size, composition and the presence or absence of a Norway spruce cone crop is explained and forest management recommendations for a red squirrel conservation area in Kielder Forest are made.
