Evaluation of Conditioned Taste Aversion as a Method to Reduce Predation of Wildlife Eggs by Feral Pig (Sus scrofa)
Keywords:
Feral pigs, Conditioned Taste Aversion, TBZ, LiCl, pre-treatment, treatment, post-treatment, untreated, predatedAbstract
Feral pigs are introduced predators to Australia and New Guinea. Predation by feral pigs on eggs and hatchlings of nationally protected sea turtles and other wildlife can cause significant mortality.
