Methods for live-trapping beaver (Castor spp.)

open access: yesFauna Norvegica
Effective live-trapping of beaver (Castor spp.) has been and will continue to be necessary for introductions, re-introductions, translocation for the preservation of populations, removal of nuisance beaver, and to obtain animals for fur breeding ...

Comparing three Live trapping methods for small mammal sampling in cultivated areas of NE Spain

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2011
<div>In this study we aimed to investigate trap efficiency and specificity by three widely used live trapping methods (Sherman, mesh, and pitfall traps) in an agriculture landscape of NE Spain.&nbsp;</div><div>We trapped 243 small ...

Some Energy Issues for a Nanoscale Electrostatic Potential Well in Saline Solutions

open access: yesChemosensors, 2020
An electrostatic potential well may be applied to trap and manipulate charged micro- and nanoparticles. An electrostatic potential well obtained from a certain charge distribution may be used to mimic the electrostatic interactions among biomolecules in ...

The world is not enough [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We show that the 5-dimensional model introduced by Randall and Sundrum is (half of) a wormhole, and that this is a general result in models of the RS type. We also discuss the gravitational trapping of a scalar particle in 5-d spacetimes.

Surveillance of small rodents and related health risks in a game bird farm

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Euler buckling in red blood cells: An optically driven biological micromotor

open access: yes, 2005
We investigate the physics of an optically-driven micromotor of biological origin. A single, live red blood cell, when placed in an optical trap folds into a rod-like shape. If the trapping laser beam is circularly polarized, the folded RBC rotates.

Limitations of invasive snake control tools in the context of a new invasion on an island with abundant prey [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
In October 2020, a new population of invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) was discovered on the 33-ha Cocos Island, 2.5 km off the south coast of Guam.

Reno “Live Trap” Loaning Program [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, 2006
Author(s): La Combe, Jonathan | Abstract: A Live Trap Loaning Program has evolved to address urban wildlife problems in Reno, Nevada. The program, operated by USDA Wildlife Services, has responded to the public’s need to address urban wildlife problems in the absence of an active Wildlife Services specialist in this urban area.

A new live trap for pocket gophers

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Live‐trapping is important for studying wildlife. In 2016 at Ordway‐Swisher Biological Station in Melrose, Florida, USA, we tested the efficacy of a modified pitfall trap designed to safely and effectively capture southeastern pocket gophers (Geomys ...

Wild boar behaviour during live-trap capture in a corral-style trap: implications for animal welfare

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2020
Background Wildlife traps are used in many countries without evaluation of their effect on animal welfare. Trap-capture of wild animals should minimise negative effects on animal welfare, irrespective of whether the animals are trapped for hunting ...
