Testing the efficacy of typical urban pest mammal control in two BACI experiments
Introduced mammalian predators have had dramatic impacts on the ecosystems of oceanic islands. While conservation strategies have been developed to suppress or eradicate them in a wide range of unpopulated habitats, their management in human-dominated landscapes is less advanced. Here, we assess the efficacy of urban predator control using two years (four sessions) of mammal monitoring data in before-after control-impact (BACI) experiments in Ōtepoti Dunedin and Kirikiriroa Hamilton.
