Experiments in no-impact control of dingoes: comment on Allen et al. 2013
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-22, 02:22 authored by Christopher JohnsonChristopher Johnson, Crowther, MS, Dickman, CR, Letnic, MI, Newsome, TM, Nimmo, DG, Ritchie, EG, Wallach, ADThere has been much recent debate in Australia over whether lethal control of dingoes incurs environmental costs, particularly by allowing increase of populations of mesopredators such as red foxes and feral cats. Allen et al. (2013) claim to show in their recent study that suppression of dingo activity by poison baiting does not lead to mesopredator release, because mesopredators are also suppressed by poisoning. We show that this claim is not supported by the data and analysis reported in Allen et al.’s paper.
