  • Animal welfare considerations for using large carnivores and guardian dogs as vertebrate biocontrol tools against other animals 
    Allen, Benjamin L.; Allen, Lee R.; Ballard, Guy; Drouilly, Marine; Fleming, Peter J.S.; Hampton, Jordan O.; Hayward, Matt W.; Kerley, Graham I.H.; Meek, Paul D.; Minnie, Liaan; O'Riain, M. Justin; Parker, Daniel M.; Somers, Michael J. (Elsevier, 2019-04)
    Introducing consumptive and non-consumptive effects into food webs can have profound effects on individuals, populations and communities. This knowledge has led to the deliberate use of predation and/or fear of predation ...
  • Bringing objectivity to wildlife management : welfare effects of guardian dogs
