Late 1800s – 1900s beaver studies which cover a period of twenty-seven years through every State in the Union, Mexico, Canada, and Alaska.

A mathematical model for the dynamics of a harvested population of beaver (Castor canadensis) was developed based on the natural history and biochronology of the species. This discrete-time, deterministic model breaks the annual cycle of a beaver population into six periods and tracks the transitions between periods for forty sex/age classes.

This study was conducted to examine the social structure of beaver colonies occurring in the southeastern United States.

A review of the history, biology, behavior, and management of the North American beaver.

Investigation into factors affecting the timing of natal dispersal in the Eurasian beaver using data from an 18-year individual-based study

Investigation into the causes of mate change in the Eurasian beaver which is a long-lived, monogamous mammal.

Research and monitoring activities over a 45-year period on the Quabbin Reservation in Massachusetts have provided an opportunity to follow changes in numbers and dynamics of an unexploited beaver population.

Study of salmon and trout movement upstream and downstream of beaver dams, and how the dams effect them

Study of Coho Salmon rearing habitat in beaver ponds vs. non-beaver pools in Oregon

A review by the University of Southampton of how the reintroduction of beaver will affect fish in Scotalnd

Review of research about the positive and negative effects of beaver towards fish

Article that investigates the relationship between beavers and coho salmon in the Mendenhall Recreational Area, Alaska

Large-scale experiment to quantify the benefits of beavers and beaver dam analogues to a fish population and its habitat

Study on how the increase of beavers along Sagehen Creek affect the trout in it

This recovery plan provides guidance to improve the viability of coho salmon to the point that it meets the delisting criteria and no longer requires ESA protection. It includes strong recommendations to increase the number of beaver and recommends the use of BDAs to restore rearing habitat for salmon.

This assesses how beaver dams effect fish habitat and how the removal of them may affect the fish

Study of the effects of an ephemeral beaver pond on the growth and maturity of age-2 Atlantic salmon in Eastern Canada

Study of how beaver dams and their effect on stream flow affect Atlantic Salmon

This review summarizes how beaver impact ecosystem structure and geomorphology, hydrology and water resources, water quality, freshwater ecology, and humans and society.
