Download Using detection dogs for surveillance of invasive dama wallaby in North Island, New Zealand

Knowledge of detection probabilities and surveillance sensitivities of surveillance tools allow you to determine how much surveillance is required to confidently determine if wallabies are absent from an area. This paper outlines the results that show that detection dogs and handlers are an efficacious and cost-effective surveillance method for confirming eradication of dama wallaby in open and forested habitats.
