Assessing factors related to wolf depredation of cattle in fenced pastures in Montana and Idaho (2005, background): “Translocation of depredating wolves has been discontinued (Bradley 2004); therefore, current nonlethal research has largely focused on implementation of on-site wolf deterrents (Musiani et al. 2003, Shivik et al. 2003).”
No single solution: application of behavioural principles in mitigating human–wildlife conflict (2016, methodology): “…radio-activated guard (RAG) box and the movement-activated guard (MAG) devices (Breck, Williamson, Niemeyer, & Shivik, 2002; Shivik & Martin, 2001; Shivik et al., 2003), which are two behaviourally contingent methods, have been applied to deter livestock depredation by wolves and are successful…”
Food habits of the world's grey wolves (2016, unknown): “Non- lethal methods such as the use of fladry, guardian animals and electric, audio or visual deterrents have, for example, been shown to deter grey wolves from livestock or other food sources (Musiani et al. 2003, Shivik et al. 2003).”
Tools for the Edge: What's New for Conserving Carnivores (2006, background): “Its effectiveness on less wary species (e.g., ursid or avian predators) is limited (Shivik et al. 2003a), but initial estimates indicate a 60-day period of effectiveness for wolves.”
Predator control should not be a shot in the dark (2016, background): “Fladry was found to be effective against wolves but not coyotes or black bears in the former test and in another random- assignment experiment that we excluded because it did not involve livestock (Shivik et al. 2003).”
Behavioral biology of marine mammal deterrents: A review and prospectus (2013, background): “A deterrent should exploit animal sensory mechanisms of threat detection to raise the real or perceived costs or risks involved in depredation (Shivik et al., 2003; Biedenweg et al., 2011).”
Does Aversive Conditioning Reduce Human–Black Bear Conflict? (2010, background): “Aversive conditioning (AC) is an operant technique that uses a negative stimulus to cause pain, avoidance, or irritation in an animal engaged in an unwanted behavior (Brush 1971, Mason et al. 2001, Shivik et al. 2003, Beckmann et al. 2004).”
Bold, shy, and persistent: Variable coyote response to light and sound stimuli (2009, methodology): “…O’Brien, 1990; Linhart et al., 1992); some methods can be as simple as hanging flagging around a resource (Mettler and Shivik, 2007), but others include radio monitors and complicated triggers which activate frightening devices (Breck et al., 2003; Shivik et al., 2003a,b; VerCauteren et al., 2003).”
