What this paper found
Population modelling of reintroduced Eurasian beavers in the River Otter catchment, Great Britain. The predicted population growth trajectories have since been confirmed by field surveys, demonstrating the reliability of the modelling approach.
How this informs belian.earth’s work
Population modelling for reintroduced species. Hugh's work demonstrates the reliability of the modelling approach for informing wildlife management, with broader implications for biodiversity-credit baseline design.
