... amounts of toxin; and hence, facilitate taste aversion learning by the predator. The context of the encounters, such as differences in geography, may help to explain why the invasion of cane toads has not significantly impacted on crocodile populations at this site, in contrast to heavy impacts reported...

...-ring-gai Chase National Park, near Sydney Australia by comparing the first-night trap success of traps with experimental addition of domestic dog faeces placed near the trap entrance to control traps. Bush Rats Rattus fuscipes , the most abundant species captured, showed no aversion to dog faecal...

... of dingoes using hazing, aversive conditioning, guard animals, mechanical tools or chemicals prior to the onset of conflict. These tools can be employed as a proactive management approach (for all dingoes in an area), or reactive management (targeting problem individuals) (Breck, Poessel and Bonnell 2007...

... and individuals, (5) work to a strategy (adaptive management), and (6) collaborate and engage with external stakeholders.This best-practice approach may be useful to managers of other populations of canids. Key words: adaptive management, aversive conditioning, Canis familiaris (dingo), human-wildlife conflict...

... Aboriginal people have a long history of entomophagy, most Australians have an aversion to eating insects. This is despite happily consuming other arthropods such as prawns, lobsters and crabs1. We tend to associate insects with disease, or to see them as a last resort to avoid starvation (Louey Yen 2010...

.... The evolution and development of inequity aversion. Exploring the evolutionary origins of overimitation: A comparison across domesticated and nondomesticated canids. Background/Aims To test the responsiveness of dingoes to human social cues, as they have a unique evolutionary history that may shed light...

...). The primary mechanism that allows these predators to coexist with toads (albeit in low abundances) appears to be taste aversion (Ward-Fear et al. 2016). That is, the only individual predators that survive after toads arrive are those that refuse to consume toads, either through heritable factors (genes...

... et al. 2009; Salmeto et al. 2011). Approach to ambiguous stimuli and levels of vocalizations have been used to test the internal state of chicks. These tests have revealed that chicks present with cognitive biases, wherein anxious chicks are less likely to approach an ambiguous aversive stimuli...

... on artificial ducks nests decreased tenfold after treatment with olfactory misinformation, which performed better than conditioned taste aversion (Selonen et al., 2022).

... Quoll D. geoffroii (Dickman 1992). However, Banks (1998) reported no aversion by two native species, the Bush Rat Rattus fuscipes and the Agile Antechinus Antechinus agilis, to the faeces of the Red Fox. Similarly Banks et al. (2003) found that Domestic Dog Canis lupus familiaris faeces at traps did...

.... gondii (Wang et al. 2013) with cats being the primary host for the parasite to undergo its sexual phase. Toxoplasmosis infection is thought to reduce rodent aversion to cat odour/urine and alter behavioural responses in rats (Berdoy et al. 2000; Vyas et al. 2007; Vyas, 2015). T. gondii has also been...

AuZstoraolilaongist volume 41 (3) 2021 The dingo dilemma: a brief history of debate but novel non-predator odours to determine whether only the predator odour stimulates aversive responses (e.g., Kovacs et al. 2012), but this approach has not yet been used to assess the effects of dingo odour. A further method...

... on the bait In the research conclusion Kreplins et al., wrote (p. 537): The overall aim of a wild dog control program is to reduce livestock and financial losses to producers. Interference by non-target species and wild dog aversive behaviour towards baits are hindrances to these programs alternative control...

... aversion and government regulation is certainly limiting aspects of that program. So we re looking at the turtles in terms of their reproduction, and can we actually create islands, essentially areas that can be for translocation and relocation, and recruitment zones. We re saying, We might just bypass...
