Optimizing the ratio of captures to trapping effort in a black rat Rattus rattus control programme in New Zealand [PDF]
The ratio of captures to unit effort is an important cost/benefit measure for volunteer pest control programmes. We describe an experiment designed to investigate the use of pre-feeding and trap pulsing as possible means of increasing this ratio.

Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...

Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.
