A Two-Year Ecological Study of Norway Rats (Rattus norvegicus) in a Brazilian Urban Slum.

TL;DR: Seasonal pattern in the abundance, reproductive parameters, and morphometrics of Norway rat populations in Salvador, Brazil is described and it is confirmed that female rats collected in the rainy season were heavier and older than females from the dry season.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using fine-scale spatial genetics of Norway rats to improve control efforts and reduce leptospirosis risk in urban slum environments.

TL;DR: The genetic data indicate that valleys may be considered separate units and identified high‐traffic roads as strong impediments to rat movement, and the importance of carrying out individual‐based analyses at different spatial scales in urban landscapes is discussed.
