- Eastern_grey_squirrels_in_Europe abstract "Grey squirrels (Scurius carolinensus) originated in North America. They eat large seeds, flowers, buds, fruits, fungi, some insects, and occasionally bird eggs. The Eastern Grey Squirrel was introduced to Europe in 1948, and has quickly taken advantage of Europe’s food sources, habitats, and lack of predators for grey squirrels. The native squirrel in Europe is the red squirrel (Scurius vulgaris). Both species have similar diets, use similar locations of the environment, and have similar activity patterns; however, there is no evidence of noticeable aggression between the two species. These Eastern grey squirrels are considered an invasive species in Europe because of their presence contributing to the displacement of the red squirrels.The invasion of the grey squirrel in the United Kingdom can be classified as a Disease Mediated Invasion (DMI). More specifically, the invasion of the grey squirrels and displacement of the red squirrels can be described by "spillover DMI", which is defined as a non-native species bringing diseases with them into the new area that will infect the native species. Spillover is especially an issue of when the invading species is morphologically similar to the native one. This can have devastating effects. In fact, grey squirrels as a DMI species could be classified as "biological weapons".".
