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

Surveillance of small rodents and related health risks in a game bird farm
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2007 Using live trapping devices we performed surveillance of small vertebrates in the game bird farm in Jinačovice in 2005 to 2006. The study was aimed at determining the species composition and numbers within individual technologies of rearing as well as ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...
