Abstract:Context Dama wallaby (Notamacropus eugenii) and Bennett’s wallaby (N. rufogriseus) are invasive pests on the New Zealand mainland and consequently are subject to ongoing control measures that include deployment of toxic baits in feeding stations. Aim We investigated whether behavioural interactions between wallabies and introduced brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) at bait feeders are likely to reduce the efficacy of this method for wallaby control. Methods Wallaby and possum visits and en… Show more
