We examine the distribution of American mink Mustela vison in 28 European countries, and
we review the impacts of this invasive species and the efforts made so far in controlling it …

Diets of mammals are increasingly being inferred from identification of hard parts from prey
eaten and recovered in fecal remains (scats). Frequencies with which particular prey …

Abstract Feral American mink (Mustela vison) are emerging as one of the biggest threats to

Since the first edition was published, a second invasive dreissenid, the quagga mussel, has
become established in the western US and is rapidly spreading. This book provides the first …

Preliminary results on the ecology of raccoon in Poland are presented. The use of space (by
radiotelemetry), diet composition and parasite infections (both by scat analysis) were …

Biological invasions constitute one of the most important threats to biodiversity. This is
especially true for “naïve” birds that have evolved in the absence of terrestrial predators in …

We studied factors affecting density and spacing patterns in the pine marten Martes martes
population inhabiting temperate forests of Białowieza National Park, eastern Poland. From …

To be effective, management programmes geared towards halting or reversing the spread of
invasive species must focus on defined and defensible areas. This requires knowledge of …

Genetic diversity of feral and ranch American mink was studied in order to understand the
processes of invasion and the possible influence of multiple introductions on the feral mink …

Nest predation is one of the main factors sha** waterbird abundances, but the impact of
different predator species varies considerably between habitats and sites. To identify nest …
