Effectiveness of cyanide pellets for control of dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii)

Shapiro, L.; Ross, James G.; Adams, P.; Keyser, R.; Hix, S.; MacMorran, D.; Cunningham, C.; Eason, Charles (New Zealand Ecological Society, 2011)

Dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii) are an introduced pest in New Zealand requiring control. Historically, sodium fluoroacetate (1080) has been used to control wallabies but there is increasing resistance to this method of ...

Progressing the possum pied piper project

Kavermann, Matthew; Ross, James G.; Paterson, Adrian M.; Eason, Charles (University of California, 2012)

Improving vertebrate pest control operations relies on increasing pest animal interactions with control devices (e.g., bait stations, bait bags, and/or traps). Interactions are encouraged using a variety of baits and lures ...

Trends in vertebrate pesticide use and new developments: New Zealand initiatives and international implications

Eason, Charles; Murphy, Elaine; Ogilvie, Shaun C.; Blackie, Helen; Ross, James G.; Kavermann, Matthew; Sam, Shona A.; Statham, M.; Statham, H.; Lapidge, S.; Humphrys, S.; Henderson, R.; MacMorran, D.; Gibson, T.

Mohoua ochrocephala abundance in the Catlins following aerial 1080 control

Katzenberger, J. K.; Ross, James G. (University of Canterbury, 2017)

Pest control using aerially-distributed 1080 bait could threaten non-target native bird species either by primary or secondary poisoning. To understand the impact of aerial 1080 control on the abundance of mohua (Mohoua ...
