Optimizing allocation of monitoring effort under economic and observational constraints

Article Abstract:

Efforts to design monitoring regimes capable of detecting population trends can be thwarted by observational and economic constraints inherent to most biological surveys. Ensuring that limited resources are allocated efficiently requires evaluation of statistical power for alternative survey designs.

What affects bait uptake by house mice in Australian grain fields?

Article Abstract:

House mice were found to eat more bait pellets at sites with high fenceline vegetation and dense pellet spread, and less likely to do so at sites with high-protein grain crops. Implications for fertility control via bait use are discussed.
