Rapid expansion of the American mink poses a serious threat to the European mink in Spain

Mammalia, 2018
AbstractThe American mink (Neovison vison) was introduced in Europe for fur farming in the 1920s and feral populations were formed due to escapes or intentional releases to the wild thereafter. Nowadays, the species is widely distributed across much of the continent, and is considered the main cause of extinction of the European mink (Mustela lutreola).

European mink (Mustela lutreola) reference genome and population genomics

, 2022
The European mink (Mustela lutreola) is considered as critically endangered in the IUCN red list, and is already extinct in large parts of its ancestral range. A chromosome-scale reference genome has been recently produced during the ERGA (European Reference Genome Atlas) pilot project, from an individual sampled in 2006 in Dordogne (France) in the ...

Where are Mink? Distribution of the European and American Mink in France

, 2022
The French population of European mink, Mustela lutreola, is one of the last five still present in Europe. Despite different conservation programs led by the French ecology ministry since 1999, its distribution is still dramatically decreasing. Moreover, no standardized monitoring has been carried out between 2004 and 2015.In order to update the ...

European mink: restoration attempts for a species on the brink of extinction [PDF]

, 2019
European mink were once widespread across Eurasia, but now exist only in small isolated populations in parts of their former range. A number of factors likely contributed to the decline but direct inter-specific aggression from non-native American mink has been key.

Cryobanking European Mink (Mustela lutreola) Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Oocytes. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2022
The European mink (Mustela lutreola) is one of Europe’s most endangered species, and it is on the brink of extinction in the Iberian Peninsula. The species’ precarious situation requires the application of new ex situ conservation methodologies that complement the existing ex situ and in situ conservation measures.

The genetic diversity and structure in the European polecat were not affected by the introduction of the American mink in Poland.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The introduction and expansion of an invasive non-native species could have important consequences for the genetic patterns and processes of native species, moreover if the new arrival competes strongly for resources and space.
