Small mammal activities structure fine-scale soil microbial communities and coordinate rodenticide effects in the typical steppes of China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Soil microbial community is a diverse combination of microbial species that is influenced by soil moisture, physicochemical properties, biological activities, and other factors.

Effectiveness of Snap and A24-Automated Traps and Broadcast Anticoagulant Bait in Suppressing Commensal Rodents in Hawaii

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2019
Commensal rodents (invasive rats, Rattus spp.; house mice, Mus musculus) are well established globally. They threaten human health by disease transfer and impact economies by causing agricultural damage.

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Profile and outcomes of acute poisoning in the toxicology treatment and control center at Tanta University Hospital, Egypt

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2023
Background Poisoning is a major health problem especially in developing countries and leads to high morbidity and mortality. Aim To identify the profile of acute poisoning in the Toxicology Unit at Tanta University Hospital, Egypt (2017-2021).

Control Of Rats Resistant To Second-Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides [PDF]

, 1998
Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides were introduced to control Norway rats that had become resistant to first-generation compounds. Unfortunately, some rats have become resistant to these as well.

Rodenticides - problems and current research [PDF]

, 1970
Regarded from both the economic and health aspects, the control of rodents is a pressing worldwide problem. Continued improvements in food storage facilities, crop husbandry, and environmental control are likely to do much in the long term to help reduce

Does Rodent Management Impact the Distribution of Rattus rattus and Mastomys natalensis in Village Settings?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

Problems Registering Certain Rodenticides [PDF]

, 1979
My comments today will be in regards to rodenticides we utilize in Montana for field rodent control. These rodenticides are strychnine, sodium monofluoracetate (1080), and zinc phosphide used for Columbian ground squirrel, prairie dog, Richardson ground ...
