A comparison of density estimation methods for monitoring marked and unmarked animal populations Open
Effective monitoring of wildlife populations forms the foundation of modern‐day conservation biology. Without reliable estimates of population size, it is not possible to determine population trends, a key requirement in determining specie…

Habitat mediates coevolved but not novel species interactions Open
Ongoing recovery of native predators has the potential to alter species interactions, with community and ecosystem wide implications. We estimated the co-occurrence of three species of conservation and management interest from a multi-spec…

Next‐generation phylogeography resolves post‐glacial colonization patterns in a widespread carnivore, the red fox ( <i>Vulpes vulpes</i> ), in Europe Open
Carnivores tend to exhibit a lack of (or less pronounced) genetic structure at continental scales in both a geographic and temporal sense and this can confound the identification of post‐glacial colonization patterns in this group. In this…

All forests are not equal: population demographics and denning behaviour of a recovering small carnivore in human modified landscapes Open
Landscapes occupied by recovering carnivore populations in Europe are highly modified by human activity. It is unclear how recovering predators will adapt and sustain populations in highly altered landscapes, with most existing research fo…

Declining invasive grey squirrel populations may persist in refugia as native predator recovery reverses squirrel species replacement Open
Invasive species pose one of the most serious global threats to biodiversity. Investigations into the interactions of native and non‐native species focus on the impacts of single species, despite being embedded in a network of direct and i…

The dynamics of pine marten predation on red and grey squirrels Open
Invasive alien species pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. In parts of Europe, introduced eastern grey squirrels ( Sciurus carolinensis ) have caused regional extinctions of the native red squirrel ( Sciurus vulgaris )…

Native and invasive squirrels show different behavioural responses to scent of a shared native predator Open
Invasive species pose a serious threat to native species. In Europe, invasive grey squirrels ( Sciurus carolinensis ) have replaced native red squirrels ( Sciurus vulgaris ) in locations across Britain, Ireland and Italy. The European pine…

Seasonal, geographical, and habitat effects on the diet of a recovering predator population: the European pine marten (Martes martes) in Ireland Open
Human activity is increasingly altering the natural world. Yet the natural adaptability of most mammal species remains unknown. Seasonal and spatial influences on the diet of temperate carnivores tending towards omnivory are, particularly,…

Food caching as observed through use of den boxes by European pine martens (Martes martes) Open
Artificial den boxes have been used to supplement denning sites of the European pine marten (Martes martes) in Scotland and Northern Ireland where natural arboreal cavities are scarce. Here, information on food caches from annual checks ar…

Pure species in a continuum of genetic and morphological variation: sympatric oaks at the edge of their range Open
Despite millennia of hybridization and introgression, genetically and morphologically pure individuals of both Q. petraea and Q. robur can be found at the edge of their range, where both species occur sympatrically. The high proportion of …
