Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "European Journal of Wildlife Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s10344-020-01442-6
Abstract: The European beaver (Castor fiber) has extended its range into most Central European countries over the past 30 years, resulting in increased forestry damage and water management issues. As the number of beavers increases populations become… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42991-020-00029-7
Abstract: Animal behaviour can affect individual fitness and is influenced by exogenous and endogenous factors. Here, we investigated how light (daylight length and moonlight), weather (precipitation and temperature), age, sex and social status affected activity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-03823-6
Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus can be a harmless coloniser, but it can also cause severe infections in humans, livestock and wildlife. Regarding the latter, only few studies have been performed and knowledge on virulence factors is insufficient.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0180323
Abstract: The European beaver (Castor fiber L.) is an important free-living rodent that inhabits Eurasian temperate forests. Beavers are often referred to as ecosystem engineers because they create or change existing habitats, enhance biodiversity and prepare… read more here.

Zoonotic Pathogens in Eurasian Beavers (Castor fiber) in the Netherlands.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of wildlife diseases"
DOI: 10.7589/jwd-d-21-00097
Abstract: Successful repopulation programs of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) have resulted in an increase in beaver populations throughout Europe. This may be of public health relevance because beavers can host multiple zoonotic pathogens. From March 2018… read more here.
