Polecat body size and sex ratio change over time: Impact of invasive competitor or climate warming?
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Change in body size is considered to be one of the animal responses to climate warming, although in many cases it is difficult to show whether it is evolutionary or a result of phenotypic plasticity.

The impact of river fragmentation on the population persistence of native and alien mink: an ecological trap for the endangered European mink [PDF]
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2012 The genetic diversity of feral and ranch American mink was studied in order to detect gene flux among rivers, investigate the processes of invasion, and determine the possible effects of river barriers. Tissue samples of 78 feral American mink from 5 different river catchments and 18 ranch mink, collected between 2007 and 2011 in Biscay, northern Spain,

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Predator control is a widely used management tool worldwide to reduce the impact of opportunistic predatory species, but in some contexts where predators are controlled to reduce negative impacts on game species, there are concerns about the selectivity and efficiency.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Experimental layout comparing 3 survey methods (tree‐mounted cameras, enclosed camera traps, and a detection dog) and 2 scent lures (rabbit urine and weasel gland paste) for detecting eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) in Florida, USA. All survey methods yielded low but similar detection probabilities.

Spatial organisation and feeding ecology of the American mink (Mustela vison) in a coastal habitat [PDF]
, 1996 The American mink (Mustela vison Schreber) is the only introduced carnivore that has successfully colonised the British Isles. In the present study, the important problem of understanding which are the factors that limit or enhance their number has been ...

Gut microbiota of Mink in Europe
, 2023 One of the threats that the critically endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola) faces throughout its relict range, including the occidental population, is the impact of the American mink (Mustela vison) invasion in its natural habitat.

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Brains of Native and Alien Mesocarnivores in Biomonitoring of Toxic Metals in Europe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are involved in mammalian brain damage. However, little is known about Pb and Cd brain levels in wildlife that reflect the geochemical background.

An investigation of the effects of various environmental parameters on underwater foraging behaviour of the American mink, Mustela vison Schreber [PDF]
, 1988 The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of changes in various environmental parameters on the underwater foraging behaviour of the American mink, Mustela vison. The study was conducted in an indoor pool.
