Minimizing leg-hold trapping trauma for otters with mobile phone technology

Article Abstract:

A protocol for the capture of otters using padded leg-hold traps coupled with Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) trap alarms is evaluated. Results showed that functioning alarms reduce the injuries suffered suggesting the use of GSM traps alarms under the principle of refinement in animal experiments.

Response of wolves to experimental disturbance at homesites

Article Abstract:

Experimental studies in Northwest Territories, Canada, have revealed that human activity did not affect the reproductive success of wolves. A relation is found between the increasing age of the pups and their relocation by wolves in response to human disturbance near their homesites.

Field assessed injury to wolves captured in rubber-padded traps

Article Abstract:

Foot injuries assessed during routine capture operations on multiple projects were analyzed to determine the efficacy of rubber-padded traps. Results concluded that managers and researchers should use rubber padded foothold traps to live trap wolves.
