Abstract: Substantial efforts have been made to identify the most effective practices for the control and management of invasive vertebrate pest species, such as the feral pig (Sus scrofa). We investigated the demographics, abundance, and molecular ecology of a persecuted feral...

Pigs are one of the most damaging and widespread pest animals in Queensland. Nationally they are estimated to cost the economy over $100 million each year. They cause environmental damage and result in lost agricultural productivity.

Aerial survey is a rapid technique for obtaining information about the abundance and distribution of feral pigs. To obtain estimates of actual pig abundance from such surveys, visibility bias associated with counts of pig groups must be estimated and accounted for. A double-...

Factors that influence bait uptake by feral pigs will determine the efficacy of poisoning and trapping programmes for the control of pigs and have the potential to introduce bias to indices of pig abundance requiring bait consumption. In this study, the influence of pasture...

Three ageing techniques were tested on samples of wild-caught feral pigs from subalpine (n = 35) and semi-arid (n =64) areas in eastern Australia, and on a sample of known-age captive feral pigs reared from stock from semi-arid areas (n = 15). Techniques employed were based on...
