“…In this update of the review, carried out up to September 2019, three additional studies reported a positive effect of fences to keep out wild boar (Sreeja and Mani, 2017;Kopler and Malkinson, 2018) or feral pigs (Negus et al, 2019) from fenced areas. The latter study shows that fence efficacy for the intended purpose (wild boar exclusion) requires ongoing and effective fence monitoring and maintenance regimes.…”

This report provides an update of the epidemiology of African swine fever (ASF) in the European Union during the period November 2018 to October 2019. In this period, ASF has been confirmed in Slovakia, whereas Czechia became officially ASF-free in March 2019, bringing the number of affected countries in the EU to nine. The report provides a narrative update of the situation in the different countries and an analysis of the temporal and spatial patterns of the disease. There has been no increase in the proportion of seropositive hunted wild boar in the affected areas. In hunted animals, the proportions of wild boar testing polymerase chain reaction-positive and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-positive has remained low (< 0.05). In addition to the obvious seasonal peak in summer in domestic pigs, seasonality of ASF in wild boar was statistically confirmed. A network analysis demonstrated that the median velocity of the natural propagation of the disease in wild boar populations was between 2.9 and 11.7 km/year. Human-mediated spread, both in pigs and wild boar, however, remains important. Several wild boar-and domestic pig-related risk factors for ASF occurrence in non-commercial farms in Romania were identified with a case-control study. This report also updates an extensive literature review on control measures to stop the spread of the disease in wild boar and on measures to separate wild boar populations. Several new studies have been identified in this reporting period, but these did not alter the conclusions of the previous reporting period. Field experience with the use of fences as part of the control strategy deployed in the Belgian focal outbreak of ASF in wild boar is described. So far, the measures have proven effective to keep ASF virus inside the affected area. This strategy included a combination of different measures, namely zoning, carcass removal, a complete feeding ban, specific hunting regulations and depopulation actions depending on the zone, a partial ban of people and logging, and setting up a network of concentric fences.

“…Methods to assess assumption violation in N-mixture models, and hierarchical models in general, are receiving increasing attention and their reliability as good diagnostic tools to assess model adequacy is currently under debate 23 , 29 , 35 . However, a proper goodness-of-fit test or an evaluation of model adequacy in N-mixture models is often overlooked 36 , 37 : even when evaluating their reliability relative to other methods 19 , 31 . In our study, the parametric bootstrap GOF test seemed to be somewhat unreliable for assessing the fit of TSS.…”

N-mixture models usually rely on a meta-population design, in which repeated counts of individuals in multiple sampling locations are obtained over time. The time-for-space substitution (TSS) in N-mixture models allows to estimate population abundance and trend of a single population, without spatial replication. This application could be of great interest in ecological studies and conservation programs; however, its reliability has only been evaluated on a single case study. Here we perform a simulation-based evaluation of this particular application of N-mixture modelling. We generated count data, under 144 simulated scenarios, from a single population surveyed several times per year and subject to different dynamics. We compared simulated abundance and trend values with TSS estimates. TSS estimates are overall in good agreement with real abundance. Trend and abundance estimation is mainly affected by detection probability and population size. After evaluating the reliability of TSS, both against real world data, and simulations, we suggest that this particular application of N-mixture model could be reliable for monitoring abundance in single populations of rare or difficult to study species, in particular in cases of species with very narrow geographic ranges, or known only for few localities.

“…Several studies have shown that protective enclosures were less effective against multiple predator species than when designed for a species specifically targeted ( Eklund et al 2017 ). In addition, from an ecological perspective, protective enclosures fragment the landscape for some wildlife ( Kopler and Malkinson 2018 ), and harm nontarget wildlife through entanglement and inability to access food and water resources ( Allen and Hampton 2020 ). Specifically, in the Golan, the reproductive success of gazelles in protective enclosures with LGDs was decreased compared with that of gazelles in protective enclosures without LGDs ( Gingold et al 2009 ).…”
