Report on a study to determine if underwater sounds for attracting and repelling carp could be useful for management purposes
Context. Understanding how the individual movement patterns and dispersion of a population change following wildlife management interventions is crucial for effective population management. Aims. We quantified the impacts of two […]
The dingo (Canis familiaris and hybrids) is a keystone species in Australian ecosystems. The current study reports four dingoes observed attacking a swimming eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) in the […]
In 1964, Graeme Caughley published two papers on the activity, density, dispersion and social organisation of kangaroos. He made direct observations of the behaviour of two species, and used measures […]
Invasive species can affect the ecosystems they colonize by modifying the behaviour of native taxa; for example, avoidance of chemical cues from the invader may modify habitat use (shelter site […]
Despite widespread concern about the ecological impacts of invasive species, mechanisms of impact remain poorly understood. Cane toads (Chaunus [Bufo] marinus) were introduced to Queensland in 1935, and have now […]
In recent years fertility control has been proposed as an ethically acceptable alternative to lethal control techniques when managing overabundant kangaroo populations. A promising non-steroidal, non-immunological approach to contraception in […]
The hypothesis that disturbance from a shooting exercise using a helicopter will influence the behaviour of surviving feral pigs, Sus scrofa, was tested on a population of radio-collared feral pigs […]
The main aim of this work is to investigate behavioural factors in possums and cattle that may facilitate transmission of tuberculosis between and within these species. The study site is […]
This note describes feral pigs (Sus scrofa) which are the descendants of domestic pigs that escaped and have bred in the wild.
The controlled release of introduced Norway rats onto small islands off the north-eastern North Island has been proposed by the Department of Conservation, in support of a PhD study conducted […]
Information on mouse biology and behaviour, the diseases that can be transmitted by mice, rodenticides and their use, alternative mouse control strategies, and best farm management practices for mouse control.
An act which addresses issues involved with the control of dogs. Some of these include; ownership, management, registration, destructive behaviour, restricted areas, training, dangerous dogs, guard dogs, nuisence dogs, and […]
Although the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) was introduced to New Zealand over 100 years ago to establish a fur industry, its subsequent abundance, especially in indigenous broadleaf/podocarp forests, has […]
