APPLICATION OF DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER CONTROL MODEL IN WILDLIFE DAMAGE MANAGEMENT

Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 1992
A bioeconomic model for optimal control of wildlife damage by migratory small mammal populations is developed under the framework of a nonlinear distributed parameter control problem. The model first simulates the spatio-temporal dynamics of dispersal population by parabolic diffusive Volterra-Lotka partial differential equation and then optimizes a ...

Managing boldness of wildlife: an ethological approach to reducing crop damage

Population Ecology, 2016
AbstractWildlife can cause serious crop damages, and factorial analyses focusing ecological aspects have been conducted to resolve this problem. However, ethological perspectives should also be considered. Individuals often show consistent biases in behaviour—so‐called personality; e.g., boldness may cause to intrude into a farmland.
