Biosecurity Science: Invasive Animals

Guy Hull details the history and toll of the numerous animal species that have contributed to the decimation of Australian species and the modern strategies that are reclaiming the country for our native fauna and its human population.

The Guide to Introduced Pest Animals of Australia is a comprehensive, practical guide to 60 introduced pest animal species present in Australia, including 27 mammals, 18 birds, nine freshwater fish, two amphibians and four reptiles.

Managing Australia's Pest Animals includes case studies of successful and unsuccessful pest management strategies and covers a range of topics, including the history of pest management.

Increasingly, scientists are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to track and manage the invaders, mitigate the potential rate of spread and level of impact, and protect the native economy and ecosystem.

Forget about wilderness, Tim Low says, nature lives in our cities and gardens, exploiting everything we do. Many endangered species now live in industrial zones and cities. In our forests, native creatures have become pests.

This report presents data on incursions and interceptions of exotic vertebrates in Australia that have occurred within the country and at the national border.

The aim of this review is to present current international and national information on alien freshwater fish management.

Provides current and general information on best practice rabbit management for land managers, pest animal officers and others.

A practical resource designed to assist Australian landholders (farmers, public land managers and indigenous groups) in the control of feral pigs.

The field guide for baiting covers different strategies for control using baits, including where and how to place baits across a variety of different landscapes.

This guide uses the term ‘wild dogs’ to describe any wild-living members of the genus Canis, including pure dingoes, and feral domestic dogs.

Provides general and current information
on the best ways to manage foxes,

This guide gives you a strategic framework for the best practice management of peri-urban wild dogs.

This guide provides information on the strategies and approaches to deliver baiting programs for wild dogs and foxes.

This guide seeks to enable best practice feral cat management.

With contributions from experts in the field, and covering a broad range of animals, this book examines the role of behaviour in biological invasions from the point of view of both invaders and native species.

This book is based on five years of research by leading scholars in natural resource and human behavioural sciences, which involved government and citizen groups in Australia and the United States.

This book presents a collection of practitioner and community stories that reveal how invasive species management is a community issue that can spark community formation and collective action.

These diverse accounts show that the conservation of threatened species is achievable: that it can be done and should be done.

In this book, more than 50 worldwide invasion scientists cover our current understanding of biological invasions in both aquatic and terrestrial systems.

This overview of the roles of alien species in insect conservation brings together information, evidence and examples from many parts of the world to illustrate their impacts as one of the primary drivers of species declines, ecological changes and biotic homogenisation.

The book presents an analysis of the ecological, economic and social threats posed by the introduction and spread of non-native species.
