Quantifying the relative predation pressure on bumblebee nests by the European badger (Meles meles) using artificial nests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down ...

THE ECOLOGY OF THE EUROPEAN BADGER (MELES MELES) IN IRELAND: A REVIEW [PDF]

open access: yesBiology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, 2012
The badger is an ecologically and economically important species. Detailed knowledge of aspects of the ecology of this animal in Ireland has only emerged through research over recent decades. Here, we review what is known about the species' Irish populations and compare these findings with populations in Britain and Europe.

Social group size affects Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles)

open access: yes, 2009
1. In most social animals, the prevalence of directly transmitted pathogens increases in larger groups and at higher population densities. Such patterns are predicted by models of Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles). 2.
