Wildlife movement and contact responses to intensive culling: implications for disease control

This study examines how intensive culling methods affect movement and contact behaviors in wild pigs, with implications for disease spread.

Predicting animal movement across the species range for landscape-scale applications

This study predicts wild pig movement across their range using displacement distributions and habitat selection analysis to inform landscape-scale management.

Comparing efficiencies of population control methods for responding to foreign animal disease threats in wild pigs

The paper compares the efficiency of population control methods for managing wild pigs during a foreign animal disease outbreak, finding aerial operations most cost-effective despite high initial investment.

Operational lessons learned from simulating an elimination response to a transboundary animal disease in wild animals

The paper simulates a TAD control effort in wild pigs to identify operational challenges and propose solutions for rapid population reduction during a hypothetical outbreak.
