Beavers are not alone: parasitic assessment of released Eurasian beavers in Central Italy
Mammal Research, 2023 The Eurasian beaver Castor fiber L., 1758, absent in Italy for over 500 years, has established reproductive populations in Central Italy since 2019, most likely following unauthorized releases. Besides positive effects on local biodiversity, beavers may host a plethora of infective agents, including parasites. Therefore, an assessment of parasitic load

Abnormal incistor growth in Eurasian beaver [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1998 A n abnormally long incisor of an adult Eurasian beaver Castor fiber Linnaeus, 1758 is reported. The animal weighed about 20 kg and was in good condition when shot at 3 years of age. The tooth had grown at an angle in towards the beaver’s left eye. Assum ing the animal to be 35 months old and total tooth length to be 13.5 cm, then growth rate would ...

Consequences of the activities of Eurasian beaver on local plants and vegetation cover – an overview
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2023 The Eurasian beaver has a significant impact on biotic and abiotic resources, thus it is known as an “ecosystem engineer”. Currently, the beaver population in Eurasia is estimated at more than 1.4 million individuals due to successful reintroductions in ...

Eurasian beavers in Central Italy: perceptions in the local community
The Science of Nature, 2023 AbstractAccording to the IUCN guidelines, wildlife reintroduction should consider any impacts on humans within feasibility assessments. Eurasian beavers Castor fiber are recovering across their native range, due to protection laws and reintroductions. In Central Italy, a self-sustaining, naturalised population of Eurasian beavers has been identified in

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2022 In areas with high population density, the Eurasian beaver may be forced to utilise sparsely forested landscapes where living conditions may not be optimal for the species. Here, we examine the feeding strategy of Eurasian beavers along a number of small

A test of the dear enemy phenomenon in the Eurasian beaver [PDF]
Animal Behaviour, 2002 Abstract We tested the hypothesis that Eurasian beavers, Castor fiber, display the dear enemy phenomenon; that is, they respond less aggressively to intrusions by their territorial neighbours than to intrusions by nonterritorial floaters (strangers).

Compositional characteristics and nutritional quality of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) meat
Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2011 The meat of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) as obtained in Lithuania contained 21.4% crude protein with high amounts of glutamic acid (152.6 mg/g), aspartic acid (87.6 mg/g), lysine (81.8 mg/g), leucine (75.7 mg/g), arginine (60.4 mg/g), and isoleucine ...

A spatial ecological analysis of the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract As ‘nature’s ecological engineers’ beavers can intentionally modify their habitat by building structures. This ability can have wider environmental benefits, including benefits for other habitats and species. However, this ability to modify the environment can sometimes be destructive, bringing beavers into conflict with land ...

Tool-use in a display behaviour by Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2007 Tool use is rare amongst rodents and has never been recorded in connection with agonistic displays. We witnessed a behaviour, stick display (StD), involving tool use in free-living Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) that we conclude is a display behaviour.
