Effects of fertility control on behavior and disease transmission in brushtail possums
Article Abstract:
The effects of surgically imposed sterility are assessed in brushtail possums, one of the New Zealand's most serious vertebrate pests. The findings suggest that fertility control is unlikely to affect social organization and behavior of brushtail possums in ways that may compromise the efficacy of fertility control for reducing population density.
