      Abstract: Alistair S. Glen, Patrick M. Garvey, John Innes, Finlay Buchanan
      A photograph of wildlife-detection dogs on an island reserve in New Zealand.Wildlife-detection dogs are a fast, efficient tool for detecting animals, animal sign, and wildlife diseases, but their potential is under-utilised. We explore how management outcomes can be improved by combining dogs’ ability to detect targets with handlers’ ability to mount a rapid response. Applications range from conserving endangered species to eradication of invasive species. Photograph by A. S. Glen.

      A picturesque summer view from the Bogong High Plains, a high-elevation area of south-eastern Australia that contains species and ecological communities of national significance.The introduction of non-native herbivores into new environments can threaten the long-term survival of plant species and communities. We assessed the diet of sambar deer in alpine communities of Australia and observed significant variation in diet over a 3-month period. We emphasise the importance of monitoring vegetation community changes in the presence of novel wildlife to protect at-risk plant species. Photograph by Matthew Quin.

      Close-up image of a majestic naur (blue sheep) looking directly at camera, on a dry, rocky slope in Nepal.We assessed the foraging behaviour of blue sheep (naur) under the predation risk of several predators (snow leopards and wolves) versus a single predator (the snow leopard only) in rugged mountain terrain. This study provided valuable information but presented major challenges. We examine empirical evidence-based information and highlight the adaptive behaviour of naur under the predation risk of several predators versus that of a single predator in Nepal.

      Abstract: Grace Russell, Fredrik Christiansen, Andrew Colefax, Kate R. Sprogis, Daniele Cagnazzi
      A picture showing two Australian humpback whales surfacing side-by-side.The east and west coasts of Australia form the breeding grounds for two of the world’s largest and fastest-growing populations of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). This study aimed to quantify and compare the morphometrics and body condition of the two populations. Although we found no morphometric differences between the populations, our results indicated that sexually mature reproductive classes on the west coast were in significantly poorer body condition than were their east coast counterparts. Our study highlighted the need to assess populations individually to develop appropriate conservation monitoring and management. Photograph by Grace Russell.

      Black and white image (taken from video footage) of a ghost bat in flight at night time, approximately 1–2 m above ground, with a reference tree in the background and a fence dropper with reflective tape below.There is currently no standardised survey methodology for the detection of the threatened ghost bat at a landscape scale. In this study, we trialled call playback using the ghost bat’s social vocalisations at pre-determined distances from known roosts and then applied the method across a survey area of 65 010 ha. Our results identified that call playback is a reliable method of surveying for this cryptic species away from the roost in landscape-scale assessments. Still photograph from video camera footage.

This study demonstrates that feral ungulate species have varied responses to water scarcity, so culling by conservation land managers may be optimised by targeting species under different conditions. Our findings indicate climate change will exacerbate ungulate impacts in water-limited ecosystems. Photograph by Helenna Mihailou.

      Abstract: Eliane D. McCarthy, Jordan O. Hampton, Rob Hunt, Stuart Williams, Grant Eccles, Thomas M. Newsome
      Sambar deer being held on a grassy surface, wearing a blindfold and cut-up pool noodle sections on its antlers for safety. A rectangular foam sheet is positioned vertically over its neck.Deer are expanding in distribution and abundance in Australia, and effective deer capture methods are needed for telemetry studies of these invasive species. We assessed the use of aerial net gunning and chemical immobilisation administered via hand injection to capture and fit GPS collars to sambar deer and red deer in alpine Australia. Limited mortalities were recorded during capture, and no mortalities were recorded for 45 days post-capture. This study describes an effective method for the safe capture of sambar deer and red deer, which will assist future wildlife researchers to further refine helicopter-based capture protocols and to collect information on the spatial ecology of these species.

      Photograph of an Eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)Invasive non-native species are on the rise worldwide, exacerbating wildlife’s already significant environmental and economic impacts. On the basis of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) in the UK, we have demonstrated that there is an important balance between the efficacy of different population management approaches and the willingness of landowners to apply them. Recommendations on management strategies must understand and account for this human dimension. Photograph: Plight of the Red Squirrel – APHA Science Blog (©APHA).

      Large fox (side-on view looking at camera) in sandy terrain with scrub in background.Invasive mammalian predators are a global threat to biodiversity, yet evaluating and monitoring management outcomes remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lethal poison baiting on two red fox populations in semi-arid Victoria using activity and density metrics. We found little evidence that baiting reduced fox activity or density, and fox survival was high. We provide the first fox density estimates for the region and suggest that multiple lines of evidence be used to confirm the rigour of index-based metrics.

      Black and white photo of a long-nosed potoroo crouched next to a wooden stake.A comprehensive understanding of movements and space use can underpin the effective management of threatened species, yet this understanding is lacking for many at-risk species. This study aims to describe the movement and ranging behaviour of a nationally threatened, ground-dwelling native Australian mammal, the long-nosed potoroo, using GPS dataloggers for the first time. We found home ranges were larger than expected and make recommendations for how this information may be incorporated into the management of potoroos, particularly in relation to a key threatening process facing this species – inappropriate fire regimes.

      Gulls are frequent predators of tern chicks and eggs, causing managers to look for ways to reduce the impact of gulls on tern reproductive success. This study assessed two common management approaches (shooting/trapping and overhead lines followed by targeted trapping) to assess their efficacy at not only stopping gull nesting within the tern colony, but also preventing gulls from entering the colony area. Our data suggest that overhead lines may present an alternative to lethal control, but numerous factors should be considered when selecting a management approach. Photograph by Peter McGowan.

      Although necessary for research, animal capture may lead to mortality, which is often only assessed after data collection. We identified potential causes of post-capture mortality in wild turkeys and adjusted our protocols to lower mortality risk. We recommend that when possible, investigators assess protocols throughout their study and adapt accordingly to limit negative repercussions of capture and handling. Photograph by Erik Blomberg.

      We evaluated the extent to which a high-density non-native fallow deer population (37 deer per km2) competed with livestock for food during a severe drought in eastern Australia. Fallow deer reduced stocking densities in natural pasture by 50.2%. It is likely that browsing, including on Eucalyptus, helped fallow deer to persist at high densities during the severe drought of 2018. Photograph by D. M. Forsyth.

      Abstract: R. E. L. Simpson, D. G. Nimmo, L. J. Wright, S. Wassens, D. R. Michael

      Habitat loss and fragmentation are leading causes of biodiversity decline, yet the influence on Australian semi-arid reptiles is poorly known. The aim of this study was to investigate factors influencing the distribution and occurrence of habitat specialist and generalist reptile species in an agricultural landscape subject to habitat loss and fragmentation. Specialists were most sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation and were less likely to persist in small patches of remnant vegetation within the agricultural matrix. Retaining representative parcels of land within agricultural landscapes and setting aside in-perpetuity conservation reserves on private property are required to protect reptile communities in semi-arid, production environments.

      Abstract: A. K. Delsink, J. J. van Altena, M. L. Schulman, H. J. Bertschinger

      Lethal control has largely been synonymous with South African elephant management. As an alternative, porcine zona pellucida immunocontraception was introduced as a novel, non-lethal elephant population control method and is currently adopted in 43 South African reserves. Current policy recommends culling as the last resort. New legislation that considers wellbeing and welfare has been promulgated. Elephant management philosophy has evolved, and all population management options, including immunocontraception, must be fully considered in South Africa’s largest national park, the Kruger.

      Abstract: Lee A. Rollins, Daniel Lees, Andrew P. Woolnough, Andrea J. West, Michael Perry, David M. Forsyth

      We investigated within-population genetic diversity and connectivity, and origins of introduced Australian and New Zealand sambar deer. Mitochondrial data indicated that these introduced deer are more similar to those from an identified native-range western clade (South/Central Highlands of India, Sri Lanka), rather than an eastern clade (eastern India, Southeast Asia). Genetic diversity was lower in the introduced range than reported in the native range. There was no evidence of population structure within introduced populations, although each was genetically distinct.

      Culling overbundant native wildlife is unpopular, so managers often turn to fertility control as a more appealing alternative. We assessed contraceptive implants in kangaroos and found that they effectively stopped breeding, but it was challenging to implant enough kangaroos so that abundance was reduced. Understanding these practical constraints on fertility control will assist future management programs. Photograph by Graeme Coulson.

      Improving hunters’ satisfaction could help address the current decline in hunting participation. This study sought to assess the impact of harvest and non-harvest factors on Tennessee small game hunters’ satisfaction and found that various factors, including expectations, motivations, and constraints, influenced their seasonal satisfaction. We make recommendations on what agencies can do to improve small game hunters’ seasonal satisfaction. Photograph by Eugene Hester.

      Through a replicated field study, we determined the efficacy of GonaCon, a non-lethal injection for fertility control, against prairie dog populations. Recently, GonaCon has been registered by the US EPA to manage prairie dog populations in urban/suburban and natural areas. GonaCon treatment for prairie dog management has an estimated cost of US$18/individual dose and is low risk to non-target species. Photograph by Aaron B. Shiels.

  • Camera traps show foxes are the major predator of flatback turtle nests at
           the most important mainland western Australian rookery

      Abstract: J. King, S. D. Whiting, P. J. Adams, P. W. Bateman, P. A. Fleming

      Flatback turtles nest only in Australia, with rookeries being distributed on island and mainland beaches across northern Australia. Their mainland rookeries are exposed to substantial levels of introduced and native predators. Using a combination of daily in-person monitoring and an array of camera traps, we recorded that a quarter of nests were dug into, with up to five re-entries into an individual nest witnessed. The main nest depredator was the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), an introduced species to Australia. Photograph by Joanne King, DBCA.

      Abstract: Antonella Gorosábel, María Paula Barral, Lucía Bernad, Sebastián Darío Muñoz, Jaime Bernardos, Julieta Pedrana

      Identifying changes in carnivore spatial densities and distribution could help to minimise human–wildlife conflicts. We aimed to identify the main environmental and human variables influencing the Pampas fox density and produce density maps in the Argentine Pampas agroecosystems. Our results could help to develop integrative management programs creating human–wildlife coexistence. Photograph by Antonella Gorosábel.

      Abstract: Jose L. Huaman, Karla J. Helbig, Teresa G. Carvalho, Mark Doyle, Jordan Hampton, David M. Forsyth, Anthony R. Pople, Carlo Pacioni

      We review published information documenting the prevalence of viral and parasitic infection in wild deer populations in Australia, comparing recent studies with previous research conducted about 40 years ago and considering them in a broader international context. Finally, we identify areas of future research and describe what potential role deer may have in a changing environment under the One Health approach. Photograph by Jordan Hampton.
