Coding Spreadsheets For Intervention Decisions In Wildlife Damage Management, Ray T. Sterner, H. Nicole Lorimer Oct 2000

Coding Spreadsheets For Intervention Decisions In Wildlife Damage Management, Ray T. Sterner, H. Nicole Lorimer

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Sterner (In press) described the use of a priori, theoretical analyses of crop/resource savings and benefit:cost ratios as a way of making intervention decisions in wildlife damage management. Iterative (1-variable-changed-at-a-time) calculations of these economic indices were computed for the use of zinc phosphide baits to control vole (Microtus spp.) populations in alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Results showed that indices displayed transitive effects -- greater net savings and benefit:cost ratios were related to larger field-size, crop-damage and bait-effectiveness variables, but smaller bait-application fees. Ratios varied between 0.40 and 6.45, with -5-10% vole-caused damage required to produce returns on investments equal to the …

Porcine Zona Pellucida Vaccine (Zonacon) As An Immunocontraceptive In Deer, Lowell A. Miller, Gary J. Killian, Paul D. Curtis Oct 2000

Porcine Zona Pellucida Vaccine (Zonacon) As An Immunocontraceptive In Deer, Lowell A. Miller, Gary J. Killian, Paul D. Curtis

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Research on a PZP contraceptive vaccine was performed at 2 sites; Penn State University and Seneca Army Depot in upper New York. The Penn State study included immune response, hormone analysis, fawning and behavioral analysis. The Seneca depot studied behavioral and fawning response in a semi-free ranging setting. At Penn State University, in a 7 year study, does were actively immunized for two years resulting in a 90% reduction in fawns. They were followed for 5 more years to determine if the effect was reversible. The reduction in fawning over the 7 years was 72%. Most deer returned to fertility …

What Are The Research Needs And Skills For The Future?, Richard D. Curnow Oct 2000

What Are The Research Needs And Skills For The Future?, Richard D. Curnow

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

One can be a student of Tom Peters, management visionary and futurist, or Gary San Julian, a leader in the academics of wildlife damage management (WDM), but that is not necessary to be impressed and excited by the rapid trends and unpredictable events that are altering how we think about and attempt to manage the nation's precious wildlife resources. Because of the boundless propensity of mankind to develop, inhabit, and alter the landscape, wildlife managers of today and the future require different strategies, tools, and skills than those who did such a fine job of conservation and management in past …

What Will The Disease Issues Of The Future Be?, Robert G. Mclean Oct 2000

What Will The Disease Issues Of The Future Be?, Robert G. Mclean

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

The major categories of diseases of the future involving wildlife are zoonotic diseases of public health importance, domestic animal diseases of economic importance, and wildlife diseases and health of wildlife importance. The existing patterns of these diseases include exotic, introduced diseases (West Nile virus - WNV), emerging diseases (Lyme disease), re-emerging diseases (animal rabies), and continuing diseases (leptospirosis). Some significant emerging public health diseases are WNV, hantavirus, Lyme disease, hemorrhagic E. coli 0157:H7, and antibiotic resistant bacteria. Emerging domestic animal diseases also include WNV, E.coli 0157:H7, salmonella enterica, and spongiform encephalopathies. Whereas, emerging wildlife diseases are WNV, particularly in Corvidae, …

Effects Of Intense Deer Herbivory On The Herbaceous Understory At Trillium Trail, Tiffany Knight, Susan Kalisz, Lisa Smith, Joann Davis Oct 2000

Effects Of Intense Deer Herbivory On The Herbaceous Understory At Trillium Trail, Tiffany Knight, Susan Kalisz, Lisa Smith, Joann Davis

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Due to a synergism of many human-mediated factors, white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations have increased dramatically throughout many forests throughout the northeastern North America over the last 50 years. The increase in deer populations negatively impacts plants through a variety of mechanisms, which can include increased consumption, trampling, and soil compaction. To preserve the plants in our forests, managers need to understand both how increases in the deer population impact the overall plant community as well as the individual plant species within the community. In general, the impact of deer presence on the overall plant community has been studied by …

Comparison Of Standard And Modified Soft Catch Traps For Capturing Coyotes, Bobcats, And Raccoons, Jan F. Kamler, Chad Richardson, Philip S. Gipson Oct 2000

Comparison Of Standard And Modified Soft Catch Traps For Capturing Coyotes, Bobcats, And Raccoons, Jan F. Kamler, Chad Richardson, Philip S. Gipson

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Capture rates and injury rates of coyotes (Canis latrans), bobcats (Lynx rufus), and raccoons (Procyon lotor) captured in standard No. 3 Soft Catch® traps were compared to those captured in the same trap type modified with the Taos Lightening Spring™ (TLS) double torsion spring. All traps were equipped with Paws-I-Trip™ pan tension devices and were successful in excluding most small non target species. We captured 15 coyotes and 17 bobcats from October 1995 to March 1997. In addition, 23 raccoons, a large non target species, were captured. Capture rates for coyotes were higher (P < 0.10) in TLS modified traps (92%) than standard traps (27%), whereas capture rates were similar (P > 0.10) for raccoons (85% and 67%, …

Aversive And Disruptive Stimulus Applications For Managing Predation, John A. Shivik, Daniel J. Martin Oct 2000

Aversive And Disruptive Stimulus Applications For Managing Predation, John A. Shivik, Daniel J. Martin

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

The range expansion and reintroduction of mammalian predators (e.g., wolves , coyotes and bears) coupled with growing disfavor for traditional tools of wildlife management creates an immediate need for alternative, non-lethal, but effective techniques for managing predation on livestock. Scientists at the National Wildlife Research Center are using advanced technology and animal behavior concepts (e.g., aversive and disruptive stimuli) to develop new tools for the prevention of damage by large mammalian predators, and this paper is a review of our pilot studies investigating these techniques. Recently tested tools include behavior contingent disruptive stimulus devices for wolves and coyotes. Experiments indicate …

A Private Lands Approach To Controlling New Jersey's Deer Population, David Drake Oct 2000

A Private Lands Approach To Controlling New Jersey's Deer Population, David Drake

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

In New Jersey, annual losses from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virgianianus) depredation to agricultural crops have been estimated as high as $10 million. Additional problems caused by the state's overabundance of deer include increasing vehicle/deer collisions, possible human health concerns regarding increasing incidences of Lyme disease, and a loss of flora and fauna diversity. In an effort to reduce deer numbers and minimize damage, both non-lethal and lethal management practices have been used with limited success. Hunter access to private lands remains the biggest impediment to effective deer management in New Jersey. I propose an incentive-based program to increase lease and …

Overabundant Deer: Better Management Through Research, Dwayne R. Etter, Timothy R. Van Deelen, Daniel R. Ludwig, Karmen M. Hollis, James E. Chelsvig, Richard E. Warner Oct 2000

Overabundant Deer: Better Management Through Research, Dwayne R. Etter, Timothy R. Van Deelen, Daniel R. Ludwig, Karmen M. Hollis, James E. Chelsvig, Richard E. Warner

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Overabundance of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) continues to challenge wildlife professionals nationwide, especially in urban settings. Moreover, wildlife managers often lack general site-specific information on deer movements, survival, and reproduction that are critical for management planning. We conducted radio-telemetry research concurrent with deer culling in forest preserves in northeastern Illinois and used empirical data to construct predictive population models. We culled 2,826 deer from 16 forest preserves in DuPage County (1992-1999) including 1,736 from the 10 km2 Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. We also radio-marked 129 deer from 8 preserves in DuPage and adjacent Cook County (1994-1998). Recruitment was inversely associated …

Double-Crested Cormorant Satellite Telemetry: Preliminary Insight, Scott J. Werner, D. Tommy King, David E. Wooten Oct 2000

Double-Crested Cormorant Satellite Telemetry: Preliminary Insight, Scott J. Werner, D. Tommy King, David E. Wooten

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Migratory paths of North American waterbirds have traditionally been evaluated by relocating birds banded as nestlings. Although over 8,000 banded Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have been recovered in North America since 1923, the movements of wintering and breeding cormorants remain poorly understood. We initiated a satellite telemetry study to determine the annual and regional distributions of 25 cormorants (in each of two study years) captured near primary aquaculture areas in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Preliminary data suggest that cormorants generally remained near aquaculture facilities where they were captured, marked, and released. Two cormorants, however, emigrated from primary aquaculture areas …

Spatial Movements In Response To Baiting Female White-Tailed Deer, Scott C. Williams, Anthony J. Denicola Oct 2000

Spatial Movements In Response To Baiting Female White-Tailed Deer, Scott C. Williams, Anthony J. Denicola

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

A better understanding of the manipulation of white-tailed deer movement patterns in response to bait has implications for future management of increasing suburban herds. We gathered radio telemetry data for 10 female and 1 male deer over a 1-year period with artificial feeding stations activated in spring and fall. Data were triangulated in the computer program Topo!, transferred into home range program CALHOME, and imported into ArcView for analysis. Mean annual home range size was 57.7 ha with mean core area of 8.4 ha. Spatial changes in behavior of all deer were witnessed in response to bait including core area …

Conditioning And Habituation Of White-Tailed Deer To Two Common Deterrents, George R. Gallagher, Jennifer L. Peacock, Elizabeth P. Garner, Robert H. Prince Oct 2000

Conditioning And Habituation Of White-Tailed Deer To Two Common Deterrents, George R. Gallagher, Jennifer L. Peacock, Elizabeth P. Garner, Robert H. Prince

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

It was hypothesized white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) could be readily conditioned to 2 commonly used deterrents, Deer-Away® Big Game Repellent (BGR) and blood meal (BM). Plots were randomly assigned BGR, BM and control. Free-ranging deer were initially conditioned to forage for corn at each 49m 2 bare earth plots delivered at 0500 hr and 1600 hr by programmable siing-type feeders. Hoof prints were counted within a 3.7m 2 sample area of each plot to quantify activity. Following preconditioning, data were collected during 5, 5-day periods. Application of BGR and BM to their respective bare earth plots occurred during periods 2, …

Landowners' Perceptions Of White-Tailed Deer Damage To Crops In Tennessee, Dawn L. Johnson, J. Mark Fly, Lisa I. Muller Oct 2000

Landowners' Perceptions Of White-Tailed Deer Damage To Crops In Tennessee, Dawn L. Johnson, J. Mark Fly, Lisa I. Muller

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

We conducted a mail survey to determine Tennessee landowners' perceptions of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) damage to crops, their tolerance for damage and the effectiveness of damage control methods. Fifty-five percent of landowners had wildlife damage and 47% had deer damage. The majority had light or moderate damage. The majority of participants who had taken measures to prevent damage used hunting. State-issued depredation permits were rated the most effective method of controlling damage. Although most survey participants did not have substantial deer damage, landowners with serious deer damage problems may need further assistance.
