How can mathematical modelling help save red squirrels in Scotland?

…carrying out grey squirrel control within and around strongholds increases the chance of long-term survival of red squirrel populations in those strongholds. Controlling grey squirrels will reduce their population density, making it more difficult for squirrelpox to spread through grey populations and therefore reducing the chance of disease transmission to red squirrels. The grey squirrel control effort required to remove… […]
