Download Detection probabilities and surveillance sensitivities for managing an invasive mammalian herbivore

Determining how much surveillance effort is required to confidently determine if wallabies are absent in an area and/or to prove elimination has been achieved, knowledge of detection probabilities and surveillance sensitivities are required. This research compares the detection probabilities, surveillance sensitivities and cost of surveillance in using helicopters with observers; helicopters with thermal imagery capability; detector dogs and camera traps in detecting Bennett's wallabies.
