Evaluating the effect of <em>American mink</em>, an alien invasive species, on the abundance of a native community: is coexistence possible?

Loss of biodiversity due to biological invasions is one of the most critical issues our society is facing. American mink is one of the most nefarious invasive non-native species and has major consequences for diversity, ecosystems and economics. A project to evaluate the impact of American mink has...
