Analysis Of Vertebrate Pest Research
Research on vertebrate pest control is mostly empirical, focusing on control of species X in location Y using method Z. Such an approach is needed. The science of vertebrate pest research is developing some generalizations across species, locations, and methods. This paper further explores such generalizations by discussing six questions asked by Hone (1994), the answers to which are relevant t...
متن کاملDeveloping Strategy and Tools for the Local Elimination of Multiple Pest Species
Control of invasive vertebrate pests is likely to be needed in perpetuity unless their pest status changes or they are completely eradicated, both of which seem unlikely at present. This emphasises the need for pest managers to adopt long-term strategies that are both ecologically sound and cost-effective. We suggest that a strategy for simultaneous management of multiple sympatric species of p...
متن کاملAn Approach to the Design of Target-specific Vertebrate Pest Control Systems
Vertebrate pest control has the dual objectives of maximizing efficacy and minimizing nontarget hazard. The task in design is to make these objectives complementary, rather than mutually exclusive. Historically, vertebrate pest control has emphasized target control as a single objective, with nontarget impact a subsequent, secondary consideration. This sequence necessarily constrains the capaci...
متن کاملPOPULATION DYNAMICS: THE FOUNDATION OF WILDLIFE DAMAGE MANAGEMENT FOR THE 21st CENTURY
To justify and defend lethal or reproductive control programs to solve vertebrate pest problems, wildlife biologists must have a sound understanding of the population status and dynamics of the problem species. Models are essential to project how populations will respond to proposed management actions, providing a scientific foundation to counter the emotional debates that often arise. Four pop...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Vertebrate Pest Management--the Species versus Systems Approach
Wildlife management has evolved through a series of stages, with early efforts directed toward individual species. Since the late 1800s, however, more wildlife applications have incorporated a systems approach, where communities are managed to promote the quality, quantity, and fitness of most associated species. Vertebrate pest management has followed a similar course of development, although ...
