the genetic legacy of the 19th-century decline of the british polecat: evidence for extensive introgression from feral ferrets.in the 19th century, the british polecat suffered a demographic contraction, as a consequence of direct persecution, reaching its lowest population in the years that preceded the first world war. the polecat is now recovering and expanding throughout britain, but introgressive hybridization with feral ferrets has been reported, which could be masking the true range of the polecat and introducing domestic genes into the species. we used a fragment of the mitochondrial dna control region and 11 mi ...201324050727
spatial and temporal analysis of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide residues in polecats (mustela putorius) from throughout their range in britain, 1992-1999.polecats (mustela putorius) in britain are currently expanding their range eastwards from wales to reoccupy central and eastern areas of england. second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (sgars), to which polecats are exposed by eating contaminated prey, are used more extensively in these central and eastern regions, leading to fears of increased exposure, and possible resultant mortality. we measured bromadiolone, difenacoum, flocoumafen and brodifacoum concentrations in the livers of 50 po ...200312531306
