This paper concluded that where wolves are distributed, elk are observed to consume (and therefore cause damage) to aspen trees. Where wolves were absent, aspen forest were observed to be grazed at higher rates.]]> 2019-01-14 16:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/320373637 Re-introduction of wolves showed behavioural change in elk... hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/320377765 In summary:

Wolves may positively influence aspen overstory recruitment through a trophic cascades effect by reducing elkpopulations, modifying elk movement, and changing elk browsing patterns on aspen." hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/320380467 2019-01-14 16:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/320380467 Predator - pine marten hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325817128 Prey - Field Voles]]> 2019-01-30 13:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325817128 PhD thesis by Fiona Caryl hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325817421 Illustrating the pine marten (Martes martes) predation in Scotland, whose main prey item is the field vole (Microtus agrestis). ]]> 2019-01-30 13:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325817421 Location of a study I researched on the predation of pine martens and foxes on field and bank voles hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325819100 Strathspey, Scotland]]> 2019-01-30 13:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325819100 Scottish raptors (peregrines, sparrowhawks, Merlins, etc) predate on wintering wader birds. hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325827262 2019-01-30 13:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325827262 Parasitic tick species in Scotland, consuming blood from various mammals (including HUMANS), birds and reptiles. hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325841834 Are known to be deadly spreaders of Lyme disease...

Although they are thought to be primitive forms, they have no fossil record. Almost all are ectoparasites on fish, a few on amphibians. ]]> 2019-01-30 14:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325855520 In Scotland both pine martens and red foxes utilise fragmented habitats of forest and open-grassland. hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325857223 Red Foxes are both a competitor and intra-guild predator on the pine martnes, however both have been recorded in several studies to have a preference for field voles due to their high abundance and density in high areas. Pine martens where thought to be strictly forest-dwellers due to the majority of habitat-related studies being in Northern Europe where the landscape has a greater area of forest habitat. However, in Scotland it is observed that pine martens can move around open grasslands to an extent, as long as there is sufficient tree coverage for their protection against predation. Red foxes overlap their niche with pine martens as they are hugely flexible in habitat use, consuming a large variety of species from voles, to amphibians, reptiles, larger mammals like squirrels, deer, lambs, etc. Pine martens are tree-climbers allowing them to easily move around the tree cover, but are also known to hunt on the ground for prey, such as capercaillie, voles, mice, etc. ]]> 2019-01-30 14:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325857223 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325863426 2019-01-30 15:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325863426 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325863846 2019-01-30 15:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325863846 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325864354 2019-01-30 15:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325864354 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325864797 2019-01-30 15:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325864797 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325868020 2019-01-30 15:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325868020 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325870842 2019-01-30 15:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325870842 hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325871403 2019-01-30 15:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325871403 Link to theme 3 padlet... hannah_lemorvan https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325881376 2019-01-30 15:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_lemorvan/53rbtx1dgc90/wish/325881376
