摘要: Abstract We tested whether a new automated bait dispenser, the Scentinel®, could be programmed to deliver non-toxic selectively only animals of specified dimensions (>400 g body weight and 400 g, no baits 543 visitors <400 g. The mean live ferrets recorded by Scentinels was not significantly different from that 34 carcasses collected same area professional trappers. Of 145 dispensed ferrets, egg/oil more often eaten. conclude Scentinel can reliably sizes and...
