Responses of foraging Eurasian beavers Castor fiber to predator odours

Wildlife Biology, 2000
The ability of Eurasian beavers Castor fiber to recognise different predator odours has received little research, nor has the use of predator odours to deter Eurasian beavers from damaging agricultural crops, fruit and forest trees. Recognition of and response to predator odours by prey is of

The Impacts of Beaver Dams on Groundwater Regime and Habitat 6510

Land
Changes in land usage, increasing climatic uncertainty, and dynamic development of the rate of natural population growth of the Eurasian beaver will lead to increasing benefits and disadvantages from beaver activity.

Do Eurasian Beavers Smear their Pelage with Castoreum and Anal Gland Secretion

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2002
The scent-matching hypothesis postulates that scent marks provide an olfactory link between a resident owner and his territory, and that this enables intruding animals to recognize the chance of escalated conflicts. However, it is unclear if Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) mark their own pelage with castoreum from their castor sacs (i.e., the same ...

A national scale floodplain model revealing channel gradient as a key determinant of beaver dam occurrence and inundation potential can anticipate land-use based opportunities and conflicts for river restoration

Global Ecology and Conservation
The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) has expanded its range considerably due to reintroduction and conservation efforts and the species is now found in more than 30 countries across Europe. This expansion brings with it opportunities for nature restoration,

Demography and life history of the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber

, 2010
Long-term studies of animal life histories and demography have been key in advancing our understanding of the processed that shape behaviour and population dynamics of species. The Eurasian beaver Castor fiber is a good species in which to study these processes, as it is long-lived, social and territorial.

Ecological and biogeochemical implications of the recovery of Eurasian beavers [PDF]

, 2016
In pre-industrial times beavers, ecosystem engineers, inhabited most of the Holarctic. Intensive exploitation over the last millennium, particularly in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, led to a dramatic decline in beaver populations. By the end of the 19th century the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) was at the verge of extirpation in many ...

The Ecological Impacts and Modeling of the Beaver Dam Distribution: A Study on Habitat Characteristics and Environmental Factors in Romania

Ecologies
Beavers (Castor fiber L.) are recognized as keystone ecological engineers who shape freshwater ecosystems by modifying hydrology, sediment dynamics, and biodiversity.
