• Dietary overlap and prey selectivity among sympatric carnivores: could dingoes suppress foxes through competition for prey? (2011, background): “To reduce their impacts dingo and fox populations have long been controlled through exclusion fencing, trapping, poison-baiting, and shooting (Fleming et al. 2001; Saunders and McLeod 2007).”
• Cats (Felis catus) are more abundant and are the dominant predator of woylies (Bettongia penicillata) after sustained fox (Vulpes vulpes) control (2015, methodology): “Numerous smaller-scale foxcontrol programs that employ repeated baiting to reduce fox abundance for both conservation and agricultural purposes have also been established (Saunders and McLeod 2007).”
• Unexpected outcomes of invasive predator control: the importance of evaluating conservation management actions (2012, background): “This finding is contrary to what is recommended for fox baiting regimes, where ongoing annual or biannual baiting is prescribed to maintain low fox numbers (Saunders & McLeod, 2007).”
• Comparison of methods to detect rare and cryptic species: A case study using the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (2009, unknown): “In the present paper, we attempt to identify the most efficient method of detecting the European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), a species that poses a recognised threat to both native and domestic species of vertebrates (Saunders and McLeod 2007) in much of southern Australia.”
• As clear as mud: A critical review of evidence for the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (2013, background): “Temporally restricted data cannot be reliably used as evidence that dingo control increases the abundance of mesopredators (especially predators that only breed once annually, such as foxes; Saunders and McLeod, 2007) unless the results can be adjusted for seasonal effects by incorporating data from”
• The economic impacts of vertebrate pests in Australia (2009, background): “However, the effect of predation by foxes (Saunders and McLeod 2007) and feral pigs (Choquenot et al 1996) is largely confined to juvenile stock.”
