• Turning back the tide of American mink invasion at an unprecedented scale through community participation and adaptive management. (2011, background): “Locally, the capacity built offers an opportunity to take a multi-species approach to managing invasive species such as grey squirrel and Japanese knotweed and giant hogweed also present in the area.”
• The American mink in Europe : Status, impacts, and control (2007, background): “native species and to economic activities (Harrison and Symes, 1989; Moore et al., 2000; Macdonald and Harrington, 2003).”
• Vulnerability of ground-nesting waterbirds to predation by invasive American mink in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile. (2009, background): “In Europe, introduced mink have successfully established feral populations (reviews in Macdonald and Harrington, 2003; Bonesi and Palazon, 2007), which prey significantly upon ground-nesting wetland birds (Ferreras and Macdonald, 1999) and seabirds (Collis, 2004; Nordström and Korpimäki, 2004).”
• Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “However, this response is ineffective against female minks that are small enough to get inside the burrow, causing water voles to still suffer heavy predation (MacDonald and Harrington 2003).”
• The accuracy of scat identification in distribution surveys: American mink, Neovison vison, in the northern highlands of Scotland (2010, background): “American mink Neovison vison (formerly Mustela vison; Wilson and Reeder 2005) were introduced to Britain in the 1930s for fur farming (reviewed in Macdonald and Harrington 2003).”
