Differences in habitat use between the native Eurasian beaver and the invasive North American beaver in Finland [PDF]

Biological Invasions, 2019
Habitat requirements largely determine the distribution and abundance of a species. An invasive species can therefore threaten the survival of a native species, if the two species are similar in niche use. In Finland, the distribution of the invasive North American beaver (Castor canadensis) is approaching the range of the native Eurasian beaver ...

Advancing the understanding of the human dimensions of Eurasian lynx reintroduction in Scotland

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
To identify perceived impacts of a lynx reintroduction among stakeholders and to explore factors shaping these perceptions, we conducted 34 unstructured interviews with stakeholders within and in potentially suitable habitat for a lynx reintroduction and surrounding areas in Scotland.

Sex and Age Composition of Spring-Hunted Eurasian Beaver in Norway

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2002
In Norway, Sweden, and Finland, most Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) harvested are shot in April and May. Since beaver cannot be sexed or effectively aged under spring hunting conditions, hunters normally shoot the first animal seen. The consequences for population management are unknown.

High resolution data reveal fundamental steps and turns in animal movements

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Animal movement paths display substantial complexity and variability, promoting efforts to identify universal rules and models that best describe them. Using high‐resolution (≥10 Hz) movement from 43 vertebrate species spanning diverse taxa, body sizes, and lifestyles, we show that paths are universally composed of straight‐line steps ...

Monitoring, modelling and managing beaver (Castor fiber) populations in the River Otter catchment, Great Britain

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) were nearly hunted to extinction but have recovered to occupy much of their former range. Beaver were extirpated from Great Britain c. 400 years ago but have recently been reintroduced.

Prospecting for informed dispersal: Reappraisal of a widespread but overlooked ecological process

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Prospecting for a future breeding site is an essential component of informed natal and breeding dispersal. It allows individuals to reduce the uncertainty of their environment by gathering personal and social information about the local quality of alternative breeding areas and make informed emigration and settlement decisions.

Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 499-510, May 2026.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Methods for live-trapping beaver (Castor spp.)

Fauna Norvegica
Effective live-trapping of beaver (Castor spp.) has been and will continue to be necessary for introductions, re-introductions, translocation for the preservation of populations, removal of nuisance beaver, and to obtain animals for fur breeding ...
