Rat Population Parameter Data Sources

Result of PRJ3132 FY23 SSIF Rat Database. This project aimed to compile a list of potential data sources for parameterising a rat population model. The focus was on density estimates (to be able to calculate rates of increase) and vital rates (breeding state, number off offspring per litter, survival/mortality), although a few trap-catch datasets snuck in because they were monitored over a longer period. Also did the same process for mice since rat data were so few.
