Many New Zealand native bird species are threatened by introduced mammalian predators, and pest management programs are common in the country. Despite that, measuring the efficacy of such programs is often limited by resources, and thus the long-term

As citizen science inherently relies upon unpaid contributors, providing a positive experience for participants is critical. This case study describes the use of social media to support participants of the New Zealand Garden Bird Survey and examines

The toxin 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) is widely used to control introduced mammalian pests in New Zealand. By-kill of non-target native species, particularly birds, does occur including that of the endemic New Zealand parrot, the kea (Nestor notabili

Ferrets (Mustela furo) are introduced pests in New Zealand, and there is an urgent need for an effective toxic bait for their control. Fish paste was identified as a potential bait, and sodium mono‐fluoroacetate (1080) and diphacinone as potential

Cereal‐based bait containing 20 ppm brodifacoum was used in bait stations continuously from December 1997 to August 2000 in the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project area, for controlling brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), ship rat (Rattus rattus)

We tested scent lures made from the anal gland secretions of male and female ferrets (Mustela furo L.) at 0.1–2% concentration in “Albert”, a solid, long‐life, casein‐based formulation, as attractants for feral ferrets in winter and spring.

Control of stoats (Mustela erminea) using sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) injected into hen eggs was investigated in pen and field trials. For captive stoats, the LD50 of 1080 in hen eggs was 0.49 mg/kg and the LD90 was 0.70 mg/kg. In a field efficac

The major volatile spiroacetals from the venom of both the common wasp, Vespula vulgaris and the German wasp V. germanica, viz. 7-methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,5]decane and 7-ethyl-2-methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro-[4,5]decane, respectively, were synthesized by know
