Evaluating the effectiveness of footprint platforms to detect invasive mammals: coypu (Myocastor coypus) as a case study

Abstract: Effective and easy-to-apply monitoring techniques are necessary to detect alien species at their first stage of invasion, allowing rapid removal or delimitation of the invaded range for eradication or routine control actions. Monitoring tools should be effective in detecting the target species, reduce false absences and allow an early detection. The coypu (Myocastor coypus), is a large semi-aquatic rodent native to subtropical and temperate South America, introduced all over the world for its valuable fur. We … Show more

“…On one hand, impacts and spatial behaviour of this species are widely known. Coypus select waterways with weak streams and dense riparian vegetation (Woods et al 1992 ; D'Adamo et al 2000 ; Roviani et al 2020 ), but they may also colonise polluted habitats and urban areas too (Meyer et al 2005 ; Corriale et al 2006 ). Where introduced, they may affect native environments by (1) feeding on natural vegetation (Prigioni et al 2005 ; Marini et al 2013 ) and crops (D’Adamo et al 2000 ; Panzacchi et al 2007 ), (2) crashing the eggs of waterbirds using floating nests as resting sites (Angelici et al 2012 ; Bertolino et al 2012 ) and (3) burrowing in riverbanks (Carter and Leonard 2002 ).…”
