摘要: The efficacy of vertebrate pest control in complex faunal communities can be compromised by adverse impacts on non-target species. We present a five-step framework to guide the design programmes overcome this constraint. model consists of: (i) selection most appropriate basis for control; (ii) identification opportunities prevent species from interacting with activities; (iii) classification dissimilarity target pest; (iv) use recognition systems approach identify further differences between pests and species; (v) experimental evaluation prototype methodologies. Application problem feral Pig (Sus scrofa) tropical forests Daintree region north Queensland identified six features which, if successfully evaluated implemented, could allow implementation strategic, sustained using poison baits where it has previously been unacceptable.
