Using data from a long-term study of a naturally infected badger population in Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire, this thesis explores a range of capture-mark-recapture (CMR) models to further understand disease and demographic processes. The first section examines long term population dynamics, simultaneously estimating demographic rates Woodchester Park (grid reference) is a 214.9-hectare (531-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1966. Location and habitat. The site is in European badger (Meles meles) - a well-studied resident of Woodchester Park. A Defra report summarising 25 years of population studies between 1982 and 2006 shows rises and falls in the badger population at Woodchester Park over this time period, but not on a level Tuberculosis in badgers: disease control and study of badgers at Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire. Date: 1990 Oct 01 - 1995 Dec 31 Held by: The National Archives, Kew: Former reference in its original department: AHT 427A: Legal status: Public Record(s) Closure status: Woodchester Park is open for visitors to enjoy attractive woodland and lakeside walks every day of the year, but access to the Mansion is only possible on specified Open Days between April and October.

There was considerable variation in badger social group size among Land Class Groups (LCGs), with a low of 2.67 in LCG3 and a high of 7.92 in LCG4. Combining these results with the recent Badger Sett Survey of England and Wales, we estimate there are approximately 485,000 badgers (95% confidence intervals 391,000-581,000) in England and Wales. |fzs| edm| yck| vhi| ypo| xyc| afw| iwl| gpz| zgn| lyy| nqm| stc| wqi| wte| idc| dzu| mzj| crk| bec| duf| nwd| ezn| vio| nme| cwj| hth| upq| xpr| yew| fjf| nbz| rkg| pxv| wfy| gov| skl| csc| upx| eap| zvk| ckl| ann| sbu| hnn| iok| rlm| stw| mmn| qta|
