Mus musculus abundance in poultry farms: Local vs spatial effects

The aim of this paper was to assess the effects of the internal and spatial (external) variables on the abundance of Mus musculus in poultry farms. The internal variables were the maintenance conditions of the farms and the number of sheds, while the external variables were related to the spatial lo...

The internal variables were the maintenance conditions of the farms and the number of sheds, while the external variables were related to the spatial location of each farm with respect to other farms and thus, to the probability of invasion from surrounding areas. This work was conducted on December 2004, January, September, October and December 2005 at poultry farms located at Exaltación de La Cruz, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
