Analysis Of Vertebrate Pest Research, Jim Hone
Analysis Of Vertebrate Pest Research, Jim Hone
Proceedings of the Seventeenth Vertebrate Pest Conference 1996
Research on vertebrate pest control is mostly empirical, focusing on control of species X in location Y using method Z. Such an approach is needed. The science of vertebrate pest research is developing some generalizations across species, locations, and methods. This paper further explores such generalizations by discussing six questions asked by Hone (1994), the answers to which are relevant to vertebrate pest research world-wide. Several case studies are examined, with emphasis on control of damage by small mammals and predation control. Suggestions are made for future research.
