Is It Necessary Managing Carnivores to Reverse the Decline of Endangered Prey Species? Insights from a Removal Experiment of Mesocarnivores to Benefit Demographic Parameters of the Pyrenean Capercaillie
Table 1
Removal effort of mesocarnivores in treatment plot (T).
Months in which removal was applied, the number of different traps installed and the number of nights during which traps operated (night-traps) are shown. The efficiency of the removal was calculated as the number of captures of targeted mesocarnivores divided by the number of night-traps*100. The same data are provided for each of the four different types of traps: live-baited traps (cage traps baited with live feral pigeons Columba livia var. dom.), cage traps for martens (baited with several types of dead baits), belisle traps (http://belisletrap.com/) and collarum traps (http://collarum.com/).
