Weasel exposure to the anticoagulant rodenticide bromadiolone in agrarian landscapes of southwestern Europe
Bromadiolone is an anticoagulant rodenticide (AR) commonly used as a plant protection product (PPP) against rodent pests in agricultural lands. ARs can be transferred trophically to predators/scavengers when they consume intoxicated live or dead rodents. ARs exposure in weasels Mustela nivalis, smal...
