This paper develops a Bayesian integrated population model to analyze Western Capercaillie population dynamics in Scotland, identifying key drivers of decline and evaluating management strategies.

This study shows that diversionary feeding increases capercaillie productivity by reducing nest depredation, offering a non-lethal solution to conservation conflicts.

This study analyzes the genomic data of red squirrels in Scotland to reveal loss of heterozygosity linked to extreme founder effects from human impacts.

This study evaluates diversionary feeding to reduce nest predation by predators in Scotland, finding it significantly increases nest survival by reducing pine marten and badger predation.
