    The socio-spatial organisation of the Eurasian badger (Meles meles) in relation to population density : a non-invasive genetic analysis

    Since current theories concerning the socio-spatial organisation of badgers are based disproportionately on high-density populations, more information is needed from areas of relatively low population density. Conventional ecological methods, however, have failed to provide the necessary tools to assess these issues. The main objective of my study was to develop a non-invasive genetic sampling method to measure the population density and assess the socio-spatial organisation of the Eurasian badger Meles meles in two areas, in Luxembourg and Belgium respectively, which appeared to support medium- and lower-density populations.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

    Moderne technologiën zorgen ervoor dat we dieren op een veel nauwkeurigere manier kunnen bestuderen. Dankzij GPS-halsbanden slagen we erin om bewegingspatronen van everzwijnen gedetailleerd weer te geven. Deze gegevens kunnen worden gebruikt om schade door everzwijnen in kaart te brengen en de groeiende populatie op een duurzame manier te beherenstatus: publishe
