摘要: Abstract We assessed the impact on populations of non‐target mammals a manually applied 1080 “jam” operation targeting possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) in hilly pastoral land south‐west Dunedin mid‐winter 1991. found no evidence that mice (Mus musculus) were poisoned, but ferret (Mustela furo) numbers apparently declined immediately after poisoning. The removal small mammalian predators poisoning could decrease immediate predation pressure native wildlife and rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Observed decreases bovine tuberculosis reactor rates deer cattle herds some operations may therefore result from killing mammals, especially ferrets, rather than possums.
