Wildlife introductions to mammal‐deficient areas: the Nordic countries
Introduced mammals and birds have had a high rate of success in the Nordic countries. Out of 18 species new to the area, 14 (78%) have established a population in at least one country. American mink Mustela vison , raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides , muskrat Ondatra zibethicus , white‐tailed deer...
