A variety of methods exist for assessing the diets of wild birds, each of which has its strengths and weaknesses. The objective of this study was to compare diet data collected in parallel by behavioural observations and faecal analysis from an urban...

Comparison of methods for obtaining population estimates for Red Squirrels in relation to damage due to bark stripping. (2008)
Journal Article
Bryce, J., Pritchard, S., Waran, N., & Young, R. (2008). Comparison of methods for obtaining population estimates for Red Squirrels in relation to damage due to bark stripping. Mammal Review, 27(4), 165-170. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2907.1997.tb00445.x

The relation between population density and the extent of damage incurred by bark stripping behaviour was investigated in a Scots Pine plantation known to have suffered considerable damage. Population density was estimated by three non-interventionis... Read More about Comparison of methods for obtaining population estimates for Red Squirrels in relation to damage due to bark stripping..
