[NEW ARTICLE] Behaviour and survival time after the release process of hand-reared and treated raccoon dogs

Miyamoto, K., Takai, R., Okano, T., Azumano, A., Ishikawa, M., & Matsubayashi, H. (2025) Journal of Vertebrate Biology, 74(25014):25014.1-11

Hand-reared or scabies-treated raccoon dogs survived and reproduced after being released in suburban areas, and survived longer than individuals released in mountains in previous studies. This study shows that the release environment affects their survival.
