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 existence of the native red squirrel S. vulgaris, to tree health, and to the forestry industry. Reducing the number of grey squirrels is crucial to mitigate their impacts. Camera traps are increasingly used to estimate animal abundance, and...

Additional file 4: Table 2. O-link data analysis. This Excel table provides the adjusted p-values and NPX fold-change for all 1467 proteins relative to comparison samples for both the comparison using only the non-miglustat treated NPC1 samples (columns B and C) and all NPC1 samples (columns D and E). Columns F, G, H and I indicate whether a protein is increased or decreased. The table also indicates top 50 proteins for both analysis (columns J,...

In 2010 the BadgerBCG vaccine was licensed for use in badgers in the UK to reduce the severity of Mycobacterium bovis infection, and hence the risks of onward transmission to cattle. To date badger vaccination in the UK has been deployed at a relatively limited spatial scale (compared to the large scale badger culls) and almost exclusively in high density badger populations which have not been recently culled. UK Government policy direction has moved towards...
