| | | Brown rat population dynamics?
Hello all
I'm trying to find out the population dynamics for the brown rat (rattus norvegicus) in the wild. I've looked everywhere and I'm still nonethewiser, so I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me out in anyway shape or form. |

Doesn't worry me anyway.Never had a rat move in, and really don't expect one in the near future.
I have seen them rarely, in real bad winters though and good luck to them. |

The Handbook of British Mammals gives comprehensive info on all our mammals + This will probably the most in depth you'll find outside specialist papers on the species. |

What sort of population dynamics infomation are you after? It is quite a large subject? what causes growth? what reduces growth? how populations have changed? current populations? etc etc | | | |
