Golden jackal expansion in Europe: a case of mesopredator release triggered by continent-wide wolf persecution? (2017, unknown): “Experiences from past and existing lethal programs indicate limited effectiveness of lethal methods for reducing mesopredator abundance, as well as being costly (Berger, 2006; Stoyanov, 2013; Kapota, 2014; McManus et al., 2015; Minnie et al., 2016; Treves et al., 2016).”
Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Vertebrates: A Global Review (2018, background): “Lethal methods are also well accepted because they are readily available and are even considered to be cheaper, and more practical and efficient than nonlethal methods (McManus et al., 2014).”
Predator control should not be a shot in the dark (2016, background): “Our findings for selected sites in North America and Europe are consistent with tests conducted for Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in Japan (Huygens et al. 2004), cougars in Mexico (Zarco- González and MonroyVilchis 2014), and canids and felids in South Africa (McManus et al. 2015).”
