• Controlling introduced predators in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia (2003, methodology): “Virtual eradication of foxes was achieved following a single baiting on Peron Peninsula in the Shark Bay Region (Algar and Smith, 1998) and in the Gascoyne region (Thomson et al., 2000).”
• Movement patterns of feral predators in an arid environment – implications for control through poison baiting (2009, background): “Although some studies have found periodic buffer-zone baiting to be effective at reducing re-invasion into central core areas (Thomson et al. 2000) others have found that when small areas are baited, re-invasion is Movement patterns of feral predators in an arid environment Wildlife Research 431”
• The impact of fox control on the relative abundance of forest mammals in East Gippsland, Victoria (2009, result): “Other studies have reported major declines in bait-take (Dexter and Meek 1998), or other indirect signs such as foot prints on sand tracks (Thomson et al. 2000), following poisoning campaigns and these were correlated with known deaths of radio-collared animals.”
• Stop Jumping the Gun: A Call for Evidence‐Based Invasive Predator Management (2017, background): “Lethal control such as baiting (Thomson et al. 2000) or cage trapping (Short et al. 2002) may paradoxically target younger or less efficient hunters that are less of a threat to vulnerable prey species.”
• Predator-baiting experiments for the conservation of rock-wallabies in Western Australia: a 25-year review with recent advances (2010, background): “It has been shown repeatedly that the application of 1080 baits kills foxes overwide areas of theAustralian landscape (e.g.Banks et al. 1998;Kinnear et al. 1988b, 2002;Thomson andAlgar 2000; Thomson et al. 2000; Start andMawson 2004).”
