• Predator abundance in relation to small game management in southern Portugal: conservation implications (2009, background): “However, the control of foxes tends to be notoriously difficult, particularly with box traps, requiring a strong and long-term effort to successfully reduce local population densities (Reynolds and Tapper 1996; Harding et al. 2001; Baker and Harris 2006), with other studies in the Iberian Peninsul”
• Bird demographic responses to predator removal programs (2010, unknown): “…the 112 studies presented report no significant increase (or decrease) in fecundity following predator removal (''Appendix 1''; Bolton et al. 2007; Clark et al. 1995; Dion et al. 1999; Flux et al. 2001; Garretson et al. 1996; Harper 2007; Kauhala 2004; Powlesland et al. 2003; Rohwer et al. 1997).”
• Movement patterns of feral predators in an arid environment – implications for control through poison baiting (2009, background): “An understanding of feral cat and fox ecology can assist in optimising control methods, including the intensity, placement and timing of application of poison baits or traps (Harding et al. 2001; van Polanen Petel et al. 2001; Rountree 2004).”
• Effects of low-level culling of feral cats in open populations: a case study from the forests of southern Tasmania (2015, background): “This is often applied to open cat populations to reduce depredation on small game, free-ranging poultry, threatened native species and other biodiversity values (Coman 1991; Booth 2010), and perhaps represents the level of control that might occur where sport-shooting is permitted (Harding et al. 20”
