The spread of highly domesticated, exotic, or genetically-modified organisms into wild and feral populations and/or their genes beyond the boundaries of plantations can negatively, irreversibly impact the health of native species and pose significant management problems in human-dominated ecosystems (Snow et al., 2005). Therefore, it is imperative to minimize or, if possible, completely avert the risks associated with such spread. Containment refers to approaches used to prevent the spread of such organisms (Brunner et al., 2007).
