DOI: 10.1007/s10530-019-01983-1
Abstract: To control invasive species and prioritize limited resources, managers need information about population size to evaluate the current state of the problem, the trend in population growth through time, and to understand the potential magnitude… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cropro.2019.05.029
Abstract: Abstract Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) damage agricultural and natural resources throughout their nearly global distribution. Subsequently, population control activities (e.g., trapping, shooting, or toxic baiting) frequently involve the deployment of bait to attract wild pigs.… read more here.
