Gut content analysis of trapped mustelids and trend analysis for ship rats and stoats over six trapping seasons at Mount Taranaki : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Natural Resource Management and Ecological Engineering at Lincoln University
Stoats (Mustela erminea), weasels (Mustela nivalis), ferrets (Mustela furo) and ship rats (Rattus rattus) are responsible for some of the greatest losses to native biodiversity in New Zealand. Common methods to control these species include trapping, poison bait stations and aerially applied sodium …

An attempt to advance seasonal reproductive activity in stoats (Mustela erminea) by use of an artifical photoperiod: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours at Lincoln University
… reproductive control technologies for wild stoat (Mustela erminea) populations there is a requirement for year-round breeding in captive animals. This study tested the hypothesis that a long-day photoperiod applied to stoats during winter months would stimulate reproduction in these animals. …
