Combining live and lethal trapping to inform the management of alien invasive rodent populations in a tropical montane forest [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2020 On large inhabited islands where complete eradication of alien invasive rodents through the use of poison delivery is often not practical or acceptable, mechanical trapping may represent the only viable option to reduce their impact in areas of high ...

Capsaicin-treated bait is ineffective in deterring non-target mammals from trap disturbance during invasive lizard control [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 Excluding non-target species from invasive species control efforts can be challenging due to non-target attraction to trap structure, baits, and lures. Various methods have been used to deter non-target species from entering or disturbing traps including

Optical trapping inside living organisms [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2005 ABSTRACT We use optical tweezers to investigate processes happening inside living cells. In a previous study, 1 we trappednaturally occurring lipid granules inside living yeast cells, and used them to probe the viscoelastic properties ofthe cytoplasm.

The strong and the hungry: Bias in capture methods for mountain hares (Lepus timidus). [PDF]
, 2011 Estimating density, age and sex structure of wild populations is a key objective in wildlife management. Live trapping is frequently used to collect data on populations of small and medium-sized mammals.

Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]
, 2020 Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

Live Traps for Adult Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Surveillance for detection of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is reliant on sticky panels with aggregation pheromone, which are low cost, but very inefficient (est. 3%). Trapping for adults was conducted in Italy with novel live (or lethal) traps consisting of aggregation pheromone-baited cylinders with a wind vane, with the upwind ...

Differencial efficiency of two sampling methods in capturing non-volant small mammals in an area in eastern Amazonia [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2017 This study was the first to evaluate the efficiency of trapping methods in the study of small mammals in the Carajás National Forest, southeastern Brazilian Amazon. It is an area with a unique vegetation type (metalofilic savannah or Canga).
