Potential effects of incorporating fertility control into typical culling regimes in wild pig populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Effective management of widespread invasive species such as wild pigs (Sus scrofa) is limited by resources available to devote to the effort. Better insight of the effectiveness of different management strategies on population dynamics is important for ...
