“…(2019) identified 24 and 14 articles on these topics, respectively. Of these, only 6 and 2 were conducted in New South Wales, respectively (Catling, 1978; Claridge et al., 2009; Harden, 1985; McBride, 2007; McLlroy et al., 1986; Purcell, 2008). Estimated home ranges are highly variable, 2.2–227 km 2 , but generally are from 10 to 60 km 2 (which potentially contrasts with smaller home ranges for the red fox [Carter et al., 2012]).…”

“…In the present study, most CPV cases were reported in spring. In the above scoping review and publications identified conducted in New South Wales, the breeding season of dingoes has been reported as typically April to May (autumn), with litters born between June and August (winter) (Catling et al., 1992; Purcell, 2008). In New South Wales, for red foxes these periods have been reported as June to July and August to September, respectively (McIlroy et al., 2001).…”

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is an important and often fatal pathogen of domestic dogs. It is resistant in the environment and cross-species transmission has been indicated in some canid populations, but never in Australia. The aim of this study was to determine if an association exists between 1. reported CPV cases in domestic dogs, and 2. the wild canid distribution in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Reported CPV cases, and reports of the presence of wild dogs and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), were extracted from a voluntary surveillance database and a voluntary pest reporting system, respectively. A total of 1,984 CPV cases in domestic dogs, and 3,593 fox and 3,075 wild dog sightings were reported between 2011 and 2016. Postcodes in which CPV cases were reported were significantly (P = 0.0002) more likely to report wild dogs (odds ratio 2.07, 95% CI 1.41–3.03). Overall, CPV cases were significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with both fox reports (rSP 0.225) and wild dog reports (rSP 0.247). The strength of association varied by geographical region and year; the strongest correlations were found in the mid-North Coast region (rSP 0.607 for wild dogs) and in 2016 (rSP 0.481 for foxes). Further serological and virological testing is required to confirm the apparent and plausible association between domestic CPV cases and wild canid distribution found in this study.

“…Moreover, language in this instance may also play an important role. For example, some of our participants felt that depending on the terms used to describe dingoes, different kinds of connotations would be implied (e.g., pure/hybrid, native/nonnative) that would possibly be linked to different management interventions (e.g., legal protection/culling) (Kreplins et al, 2018; Purcell et al, 2012; van Eeden, Dickman, et al, 2018).…”

“…The umbrella term “wild dog” is widely used in Australia and is defined as “all wild‐living dingoes, dingo‐dog hybrids and feral dogs” (AWI, 2020; Cairns et al, 2021; Fleming et al, 2001; Purcell et al, 2012). Here, we use “dingoes” to refer to the wild‐living descendants of canids living in Australia prior to European contact (see notes on nomenclature below), and “dogs” to refer to modern breeds of Canis familiaris that have undergone intense and recent anthropogenic selective breeding (i.e., within the last ~2000 years).…”

Expert elicitation can be valuable for informing decision‐makers on conservation and wildlife management issues. To date, studies eliciting expert opinions have primarily focused on identifying and building consensus on key issues. Nonetheless, there are drawbacks of a strict focus on consensus, and it is important to understand and emphasize dissent, too. This study adopts a dissensus‐based Delphi to understand conflict among dingo experts. Twenty‐eight experts participated in three rounds of investigation. We highlight disagreement on most of the issues explored. In particular, we find that disagreement is underpinned by what we call “conflict over values” and “conflict over evidence.” We also note the broader role played by distrust in influencing such conflicts. Understanding and recognizing the different elements shaping disagreement is critical for informing and improving decision‐making and can also enable critique of dominant paradigms in current practices. We encourage greater reflexivity and open deliberation on these aspects and hope our study will inform similar investigations in other contexts.

“…Scientific theory can offer useful frameworks for applied conservation issues. Understanding patterns and processes involved in livestock predation, developing effective ways to mitigate predation and rigorously testing non-lethal deterrents have been identified as areas requiring advancement (Breck & Meier 2004;Purcell et al 2012;Eklund et al 2017). All could be assisted by inclusion of foraging theory and risk ecology frameworks as part of study design and theoretical underpinning for management decision making.…”
