Context: Some large herbivores introduced to Australia have achieved population densities so high as to cause considerable ecological damage. Intriguingly, others have been relatively less successful and have correspondingly perturbed […]
Growing public concerns about lethal methods to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts place increasing constraints on wildlife management options. Translocations, perceived as humane and non-lethal solutions, are increasingly advocated to resolve these […]
Context. As evidence accumulates implicating domestic cats as significant predators of urban wildlife, the need for effective mitigation of potentially negative impacts becomes more pressing. Belled collars are probably one […]
It is now widely accepted that it is important to understand the ?human dimensions? of wildlife management issues in order to achieve management goals. This growing field of study was […]
Administration to rats of 100 mg/kg of 1,3-difluoro-2-propanol (DFP), the major ingredient of the pesticide Gliftor, resulted in citrate accumulation in the kidney after a 3-h lag phase. Inhibition of […]
There is an increasing level of interest in contraception to manage wildlife pests in Australia, due mainly to concerns over high recurrent costs, animal welfare, and the failure of current […]
Immunocontraceptive technology appears to be a viable approach for population control of nuisance species of wildlife. The administration of Immunocontraceptive vaccines is presently performed by syringe injection or by remote […]
We often are unable to reduce wildlife damage because of our inability to apply a repellent directly to the plant, animal, or item that needs protection. Conditioned food aversions based […]
Recommendations for managing wildlife damage situations often involve application of multiple methods or techniques. The basis for such recommendations is unclear as there is little evidence that such combinations of […]
This paper presents an overview of the economic fundamentals involved in wildlife management, with special consideration for cases involving harmful wildlife-human interactions. The process of benefit-cost analysis is used as […]
Like a number of gull species, the silver gull Larus novaehollandiae has expanded its population in response to human food subsidy. The major anthropogenic food source is food waste at […]
Feral pigs are well established in the lowland tropical forests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. Circumstantial evidence, e.g. the presence of a Melanesian tick, an exotic nematode and a dominant coat […]
Understanding the spatial structure of populations is important in developing effective management strategies for feral and invasive species, such as feral pigs (Sus scrofa). World-wide, feral pigs can act as […]
The successful `Judas’ goat technique has been adapted for use with feral pigs. The `Judas’ goat technique involves releasing radio-collared goats into a control area and, after a sufficient period […]
This report focuses on Australian indigenous peoples’ use and management of terrestrial vertebrates and some marine species (dugongs and turtles), In doing so it examines the extent to which the […]
Invasive cane toads Bufo marinus are spreading rapidly across northern Australia, raising serious public and scientific concerns for the long-term persistence of many potentially vulnerable wildlife populations. A number of […]
Wildlife management and conservation practices are frequently controversial; often creating debate within the community
This paper focuses on mammalian pest species mainly in Europe and Africa and on implications for animal health, human safety, wildlife management and animal welfare. Three examples of problem species […]
