Abstract

The low trap success (2–4%) of northern hairy-nosed wombats (Lasiorhinus krefftii) has proven a considerable limiting factor to their conservation and management. This project aimed to utilise expert knowledge and experience to redesign current traps and deployment to improve trap success, reduce by-catch and required resources, and improve safety for field staff and captured fauna. A trial of several trap variations and deployment strategies was conducted at Epping Forest National Park (Scientific). Results indicated new trap design and deployment strategies contributed to improving outcomes against all the aims. Most notably, an increased trap success of 10.5% was detected, significantly improving capabilities to achieve conservation and management outcomes.

你是如何诱捕害羞的袋熊的？为北方毛鼻袋熊试验新的诱捕器设计

北方毛鼻袋熊（Lasiorhinus krefftii）的低诱捕成功率（2-4%）已被证明是其保护和管理的一个相当大的限制因素。该项目旨在利用专家知识和经验重新设计现有的诱捕器和部署，以提高诱捕器的成功率，减少副渔获物和所需资源，并提高现场工作人员和捕获动物的安全性。在埃平森林国家公园（科学）进行了几种陷阱变化和部署策略的试验。结果表明，新的陷阱设计和部署战略有助于改善实现所有目标的成果。最值得注意的是，诱捕成功率提高了10.5%，显著提高了实现保护和管理成果的能力。

期刊介绍： Australian Mammalogy is a major journal for the publication of research in all branches of mammalogy. The journal’s emphasis is on studies relating to Australasian mammals, both native and introduced, and includes marine mammals in the Antarctic region. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: anatomy, behaviour, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, molecular biology, parasites and diseases of mammals, physiology, reproductive biology, systematics and taxonomy. Australian Mammalogy is for professional mammalogists, research scientists, resource managers, consulting ecologists, students and amateurs interested in any aspects of the biology and management of mammals. Australian Mammalogy began publication in 1972 and is published on behalf of the Australian Mammal Society.
