Invasive feral American mink (Neovison vison) have had well-documented impacts in Europe and South America. We tested the hypotheses that escape of ranch-raised mink is also common in Canada where the species is endemic, and that declines of Can[...]

We studied the role played by the French protected area network on 100 common bird species at the population and community level. The long-term trend of each species was calculated over 15 years (1989-2003). We then used 418 plots monitored by t[...]

Successful conservation initiatives often lead to rapid increases in large carnivore densities to the extent that overpopulation occurs. Yet conservation managers have no way of knowing the carrying capacity of their reserves. Here we derived re[...]
