BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “…partly by increased nest predation rates resulting from habitat changes due to agricultural intensification (Baines 1990, Liker & Szekely 1997, Jackson & Green 2000, Chamberlain & Crick 2003, Evans 2004, Jackson et al. 2004, Milsom 2005, Bolton et al. 2007, Teunissen et al. 2008, MacDonald &…”
Are the ecological impacts of alien species misrepresented? A review of the “native good, alien bad” philosophy (2010, background): “More species-188 specific predators include the American mink (Mustela vison), which has reduced the population of 7 native European water voles (Arvicola terrestris) in the UK (Bonesi and MacDonald 2004) and the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), which is an important cause of egg depredation”
Management of disease in wild mammals (2009, background): “Hence, proposals to cull hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) that had been recently introduced to some offshore islands in the UK sparked a national campaign of protest, even though their presence posed a serious threat to native bird populations (Jackson and Green 2000).”
