Globally, human–wildlife conflicts continue to increase, owing to human population growth and expansion. Many of these conflicts concern the impacts of invasive non‐native species. In the UK, the invasive, non‐native grey squirrel Sciurus carolinensi...

A camera trap method for estimating target densities of grey squirrels to inform wildlife management applications (2023)
Journal Article
Beatham, S., Stephens, P., Coats, J., Phillips, J., & Massei, G. (2023). A camera trap method for estimating target densities of grey squirrels to inform wildlife management applications. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 11, Article 1096321. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2023.1096321

Effective wildlife population management requires an understanding of the abundance of the target species. In the UK, the increase in numbers and range of the non-native invasive grey squirrel Sciurus carolinensis poses a substantial threat to the ex...

A PIT-tag based method for measuring individual bait uptake in small mammals (2021)
Journal Article
Beatham, S., Goodwin, D., Coats, J., Stephens, P., & Massei, G. (2021). A PIT-tag based method for measuring individual bait uptake in small mammals. Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2(2), Article e12081. https://doi.org/10.1002/2688-8319.12081

1. Rodents and other small mammals cause an increasing number of negative economic and environmental impacts worldwide. In the UK, the non-native grey squirrel has a significant impact on the forestry industry and has caused the decline of the native...
