Presently it is not known if beavers (Castor spp.) deposit castoreum (primarily a mixture of secondary metabolites from urine) from the castor sacs and secretion from the ...

Beavers on Ice: Factors Influencing Emergence Phenology in Boreal Canada. [PDF]
Climate‐driven changes in ice phenology influence the timing of spring emergence of a non‐hibernating ice‐bound mammal, the North American beaver. ABSTRACT The influence of climate change on emergence phenology of hibernating mammals in northern latitudes is receiving increased attention, yet for freshwater semi‐aquatic mammals such as beavers, which ...

Mitochondrial phylogeography of the Eurasian beaverCastor fiberL. [PDF]
AbstractNucleotide variation in an approximately 490 bp fragment of the mitochondrial DNA control region (mtDNA CR) was used to describe the genetic variation and phylogeographical pattern in the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) over its entire range. The sampling effort was focused on the relict populations that survived a drastic population bottleneck,

Seasonal variations of the digestive tract of the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber [PDF]
Forage availability for wild rodents varies with season. In turn, the composition of food can affect morphometric parameters of the digestive tract. This study was performed in Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) whose population was close to extinction in most Eurasian countries, but has now increased.
