Using genetic methods to investigate dispersal in two badger (Meles meles) populations with different ecological characteristics.

Heredity - 1 May 2010

Frantz A C, Do Linh San E, Pope L C, Burke T

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the dispersal behaviour of a species is important for understanding its ecology and evolution. Dispersal in the Eurasian badger (Meles meles) is believed to be very limited, with social groups forming primarily through the retention of offspring. However, most of our knowledge of dispersal in this species comes from studies of high-density populations in the United Kingdom, where badgers are...
