Context Helicopter-based shooting has been widely used to harvest deer or control overabundant populations in Australasia, but the effectiveness and cost of this method as a tool seldom evaluated. Aims We evaluated costs helicopter-based fallow (Dama dama) chital (Axis axis) eastern Australia by quantifying (1) reductions density, (2) relationship between numbers killed per hour density (i.e. functional response), (3) (4) effort–outcome cost–outcome relationships. Methods 12 aerial...
Globally, many wild deer populations are actively studied or managed for conservation, hunting, damage mitigation purposes. These studies require reliable estimates of population state parameters, such as density abundance, with a level precision that is fit purpose. Such can be difficult to attain occur in situations poorly suited common survey methods. We evaluated the utility combining camera trap data, which small proportion sample individually recognizable using natural markings,...
A shipwreck from the early 3rd century BC was discovered in Black Sea's suboxic depths off Ereğli, Turkey, during 2011 E/V Nautilus expedition. Remote investigation revealed trawl-damaged remains of a merchant ship carrying multiple amphora types associated with Aegean and Pontic production areas. Also were elements ship's hull that show evidence both pegged mortise-and-tenon laced construction. The wreck provides crucial archaeological for maritime connectivity ship-construction methods...
Abstract Context Monitoring is an essential part of managing invasive species; however, accurate, cost-effective detection techniques are necessary for it to be routinely undertaken. Current deer time consuming, expensive and have associated biases, which may overcome by exploiting new technologies. Aims We assessed the accuracy cost effectiveness automated methods in comparison manual thermal footage captured remotely piloted aircraft systems. Methods Thermal RPAS was using algorithm...
Abstract In order to provide the first comparative source of nematofaunal data at oxic/anoxic interface off Sinop Peninsula, southern Black Sea, a survey meiofauna and nematode fauna was conducted in August 2011 aboard exploration vessel (E/V) Nautilus with ROV during Sea Expedition NA012. Higher meiofaunal taxa composition were investigated. Free-living marine nematodes most abundant group each site. A total 84 species found, belonging 23 families. The suboxic zone dominated by Trefusia...
Abstract Identifying landscape features and processes that facilitate the persistence of populations is particularly important for invasive mammal species, because it can focus management interventions on relatively small areas. We used camera traps to test predictions concerning relative abundance invading chital deer (Axis axis) seven cattle ranches in northern Australia: would be highest near permanent water homesteads, dingoes (Canis dingo) reduce deer. Distance from nearest homestead...
Context Chital deer (Axis axis) are long established in the northern Queensland dry tropics, and at high densities considered pests by cattle graziers. Cost-effective management is difficult for widespread, fluctuating populations of vertebrate such as these deer. Historically, control chital has been limited to recreational some commercial ground-shooting trapping. Concerns over impacts were heightened during drought 2015 funding became available aerial culling. Aim This study set out...

Abstract Context Helicopter darting has been used to capture wild deer, but this method never for chital deer (Axis axis). Aim The aims of study were develop, assess and refine a helicopter technique in northern Australia by quantifying: (1) reliable pharmacological doses immobilisation; (2) the efficacy (including duration procedures); (3) frequency adverse animal welfare events. Methods was conducted three stages: an initial protocol (n = 25 captured) July−August 2018; refined second...
