Evolving grey squirrel management techniques in Europe

Biochemical features of the grey squirrel lens.

The ocular lens of the grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is an excellent model for studies of eye-light interactions that apply to the human system. In this diurnal animal, lens size, shape, yellow pigmentation, and light absorption properties have important similarities to those of young children. This article describes the observations of soluble to insoluble protein conversion with chrono...

Evolving Medical Imaging Techniques.

The consequences of introducing non-indigenous species: two case studies, the grey squirrel in Europe and the brushtail possum in New Zealand.

Two examples of the introduction of non-indigenous invasive species are reviewed: the grey squirrel in Europe (United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy) and the brushtail possum in New Zealand. Both have become very successful in their respective non-native habitats since their introductions in the mid-to-late 19th Century. Both species impact extensively on native biodiversity, environmental sustaina...
