1 The impact of the grey squirrel as an invasive species on red squirrel populations. Deborah Brady
2 Squirrels in the UK Native g Length (excluding tail) 19-23cm Density <1 per ha in all woodland Estimated 140,000 in UK Introduced from America in 1870s g Length (excluding tail) 25-30cm Density <1 per ha in coniferous, >8 per ha in broadleaf/mixed Estimated 3 million + in UK

21 characteristic time taken from dawn to first feed time taken to feed when bait put out Length of feeding bout Gaps between feeding - short Gaps between feeding - long Distance travelled to bait General movement distances Is there a difference when bait is put out? Significant initial response (less variation Within in a day speed) they react to ~ 30 mins faster bait go to as soon as bait present find the food faster shorter when bait present and longer as bait is eaten Within a day they react to bait feed more quickly Is there a difference between sex/age classes? Is there anything else driving it? No No 36% Squirrel individuality? No no <0.001% Adults longer bouts than younger squirrels If detected more often feed for longer, if detected at more locations feed for shorter 24% No no no 16% Gaps between feeding and longer get longer ~ 30+ mins gaps between Decrease in distance of ~10-15m Within a day they react to bait travel Decrease in distance shorter of ~90-130m distances There s some differences between sex and age Quite a number of differences, classes, e.g. adult females very short gaps particularly established One sig differences to female adult adults, females who have least variation in distance No sig differences but female adults have least variation in distance few behavioural characteristics affect feeding Time between feeding increases behaviour as home range size increases Increased detection longer distances travelled Higher parasite load increase in movement distance 1/4 to 1/3 of variation is due to squirrel 24% individuality 29% 35%
22 Inter-trap distance 100m 140m general movement 130m difference in response to bait Baiting frequency dependent on food present: Response to food within one day, quicker on second day if food present most visits the first day following food placement
