Despite a growing catalogue of eradication projects, documented successful vertebrate eradications on the mainland remain scarce. Reporting on successful campaigns is crucial to counter pessimism on ambitious programmes to tackle invasive species and to allow conservation practitioners, wildlife managers and scientist to learn from previous experience. Moreover, there is a need for basic information on the effectiveness of control methods and management strategies that can be used. In this note we report on a successful low-tech eradication campaign of a local population of Pallas’s squirrel Callosciurus erythraeus, a species of tree squirrel with documented ecological and socio-economic impacts in its invasive range. The population was eradicated from a suburban park of about 15 ha using baited mesh wire life traps, in five consecutive capture campaigns between October 2005 and January 2011. Using maximum likelihood estimation from catch-effort data we calculated initial densities in the park at 3 squirrels ... : Pallassquirrel_capture_dataThis data file (.csv with UTF-8 encoding) is associated to [Adriaens T., Baert K., Breyne P., Casaer J., Devisscher S., Onkelinx T., Pieters S., Stuyck J.

This population was eradicated from a suburban park of about 15 ha using baited mesh wire life traps, in five consecutive capture campaigns between October 2005 and January 2011. For the period February 2006–April 2007 (dashed line) capture data are lacking. The data represent the capture day (in ISO 8601 format) and the number of squirrels captured on that day and were used to draft figure 2 in the associated manuscript. ...
