摘要: An experimental study investigating the ability of volunteers to identify squirrel species from tail-hair samples.— Hair-tubes, collecting nape hairs, are widely used for establishing presence red (Sciurus vulgaris) and grey carolinensis) squirrels. However, it is time-consuming prone identification errors. alternative collect tail hairs sticky pads on baited poles. there no evidence concerning accuracy hairs. This reports an experiment in which subjects underwent a short training session before identifying hair samples four species. There was 96.5% correct rate 77.5% squirrels, suggests that collection may provide quick, easy accurate method both
