Scale-Dependent Attraction of Invasive Raccoons to Bait Sites: Behavioural and Proximity Responses in a Post-Disaster Agricultural Landscape. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using cafeteria‐style bait trials and GPS telemetry, we investigated scale‐dependent responses of invasive raccoons to baiting in a post‐nuclear‐disaster agricultural landscape in Fukushima, Japan. Baiting induced strong short‐term and daily‐scale attraction to trap sites but did not restructure long‐term space use, highlighting the need to balance ...
