... et al. 2016). To minimise the risk of contamination, all field equipment should be sterilised between each collection, fresh sterile gloves must be worn with each new sample and all samples should be stored in individual sealed containers (Goldberg et al. 2016). Protection against contamination doesn...

... or sterilisation of hybrids (or individuals that may contribute genetic material perceived to be undesirable by managers) has been conducted. Importantly, incorporating sterilisation rather than culling into management recognises that the removal of unwanted individuals is likely to result in migration of new...

..., in theory, 100 per cent of the time. Now if you introduced - and this is all theoretical - a trait in a population that would turn every offspring into a male, or if you introduced a trait whereby you could sterilise all females, you could use this, in theory, to lead to a population crash. This is being...

... is important because koala translocations to some of them, with their dominant fodder species and limited island environment, resulted in unregulated population growth culminating in overpopulation. Consequently, many koalas starved to death, or were sterilised, removed or faced threats of culling. Also...

... was restricted to sterilisation and translocation (Duka and Masters 2005), although humane culling of tammar wallabies was being undertaken on the Island at the time without vocal resistance (Wright and Scott 1999).

... 160 conductivity meter, Orion Research Inc., Massachusetts, USA) and turbidity (NTU) (HACH 2100 AN turbidimeter, Hach Company, Colorado, USA). For the determination of nutrient concentrations, three 30 mL subsamples were immediately taken from each water sample using a sterilised syringe (Termo, USA...

...) Disappearance of the Stuttering Frog used to capture and transport tadpoles was either new in sterile packaging, or sterilised with 70% ethanol prior to arriving at the site. The buckets were filled with stream water and the lids fastened such that there is very little or no air space remaining in the bucket...

... in order to prevent accidental introduction of pathogens and to allow for easy sterilisation. All adult bell frogs at the zoo are fed three times a week, whilst metamorphs and juveniles are fed daily. The diet consists mostly of crickets, but occasionally cockroaches and houseflies. Invertebrates...

... mL subsamples were immediately taken from each water sample using a sterilised syringe (Termo, USA). One subsample, unfiltered, was used for analysis of total nitrogen (TN, g L 1) and total phosphorus (TP, g L 1). Two subsamples were filtered through a cellulose acetate filter (pore size 0.45 m...

... wild type MYXV strains and achieve the required female sterilisation rates of 60-80% (Twigg et al. 2000) and work on this approach was discontinued in 2005 (van Leeuwen and Kerr 2007). Recent rapid advances in gene technologies has sparked considerable discussions about the potential to genetically...

... species DNA. Such protocols should, at a minimum, involve the sterilisation of field equipment, such as boots, and the use of single-use gloves and sampling equipment (e.g. syringes). Decontamination of field equipment for re-use (e.g. boots, buckets, trays, sampling poles, bottles) can be undertaken...

... . The large photograph has a big koala in the foreground and a man standing nearby looking at the koala. The caption reads, Farmer Andrew Kelly with one of the endangered Kangaroo Island koalas. The text by Tim Dornin explains the headline: The NSW Government has agreed to a trial relocation of sterilised...

Land was first released in the Strzelecki Ranges by the government during the period from 1869 to 1874 (Legg 1986). At the time of settlement, koalas were...

... in unregulated population growth culminating in overpopulation. Consequently, many koalas starved to death, or were sterilised, removed or faced threats of culling. Also, overpopulation may trigger overt chlamydiosis (Melzer et al. 2000). A brief discussion of the translocations to some Victorian and South...
