Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2009 Castor fiber Linnaeus, 1758 is the only indigenous species of the genus Castor in Europe and Asia. Due to extensive hunting until the beginning of the 20th century, the distribution of the formerly widespread Eurasian beaver was dramatically reduced ...

The genetic legacy of multiple beaver reintroductions in Central Europe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The comeback of the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) throughout western and central Europe is considered a major conservation success. Traditionally, several subspecies are recognised by morphology and mitochondrial haplotype, each linked to a relict ...

Waterborne protozoan and microsporidian parasites in Eurasian beavers (<i>Castor fiber</i>). [PDF]
Int J Parasitol Parasites WildlThe Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) is an expanding species in Europe in recent decades due to reintroductions and natural population growth. Beavers expanded rapidly in the second half of the 20th century, and their expansion was particularly rapid in the Danube basin.

Time for dam rebuilding by the Eurasian beaver
Aquatic EcologyAbstractThe European beaver, the largest rodent in Europe, has enormous skills in transforming and adapting its habitat. It chooses a place for its habitat that provides it with food and a high degree of security. He builds dams to regulate water levels.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

Аграрная наука Евро-Северо-Востока, 2020 The chronology of extinction and restoration of the Eurasian beaver population in the Kemerovo region is analyzed. The beavers exterminated at this territory at the end of the 18th century were reintroduced 60 years ago. The animals of Voronezh, Smolensk

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Proximate Climate Drivers of Beaver Pond Occupancy and Range Expansion in Arctic Alaska
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.To understand why beavers are colonizing the Arctic, we evaluated which climate drivers underpin beaver pond dynamics. Warm Junes, mild winters, green summers, and wet springs facilitate pond establishment. Rapid improvement in these conditions across recent decades provides mechanistic support that climate change is driving beaver colonization of the ...

Landscape structure and population density affect intraspecific aggression in beavers
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Intraspecific competition plays an important role for territory acquisition and occupancy, in turn affecting individual fitness. Thus, understanding the drivers of intraspecific aggression can increase our understanding of population dynamics.

A Comparison of Nest Structure and Materials in Three Species of Penduline Tits (Remiz spp.)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We present the first quantitative descriptions of nest structural parameters and material composition for the White‐crowned and Black‐headed Penduline Tits. We further conducted a comparative analysis of nest architecture and materials in three penduline tit species (Remiz consobrinus, R. coronatus, and R.
