erminea

Other important animals, including the raven (Corvus corax), wolf, red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and ermine (Mustela erminea), are primarily boreal in distribution but remain an important component of many arctic ecosystems.

Implications of current species distributions for future biotic change in the Arctic 2009

Otter Lutra lutra, stoat Mustela erminea, and European mink Mustela lutreola (E), as well as wild cat Felis sylvestris are to be found on the floating islands.

Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Romania 2009

As in other parts of mainland New Zealand, the wildlife, particularly the larger endemic and flightless birds, has been seriously affected by the introduction of predators like stoats (Mustela erminea) and rats (Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus).

Westland temperate forests 2008

Mammals include the marmot Marmota marmota, Mustela erminea, ungulates such as Capreolus capreolus and Rupicapra p. pyrenaica, with the population estimated at 800 individuals, and Spanish ibex Capra p. pyrenaica now only three female individuals.

Pyrenees-Mont Perdu, France and Spain 2008

As a consequence they are relatively easy prey for introduced and efficient predators like stoats (Mustela erminea), cats (Felis cattus), rats (Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus) and other mustelids.

Southland montane grasslands 2008

Mammals in Klyuchevskoy Nature Park include a herd of wild reindeer, the largest population of brown bears, east Siberian lynx Lynx lynx wrangeli, snow sheep, wolverine and ermine Mustela erminea.

Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) rarely occur in large enough numbers to damage the vegetation however, like rats (Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus), possums, and stoats (Mustela erminea), they do prey on Powelliphanta snails, other invertebrates, and the eggs of ground-nesting birds.

Nelson Coast temperate forests 2008

Stoats (Mustela erminea) and rats (Rattus rattus, Rattus norvegicus) prey on forest birds and bird eggs while feral pigs (Sus scrofa) and rats impact heavily on Powelliphata snail species in the Marlborough Sounds.

Endemic Olympic fauna includes: Olympic marmot Marmota olympus, Beardslee trout Salmo gairdneri beardsleei, Crescenti trout Salmo clarkii crescentis, Olympic mole Scapanus townsendi olympicus, short-tailed weasel Mustela erminea olympicus, Olympic chipmunk Tamias amoenus caurinus and Olympic mazama pocket gopher Thomomys mazama melanopes.

These include rat Rattus rattus, stoat Mustela erminea and cat Felis catus as predators, and herbivores such as rabbit Oryctalagus cuniculus, hare Lepus sp., brush-tailed possum Trichosurus vulpecula, and red deer Cervus elaphus.
