- 2015 July 29, “Aerial Prefeeding Followed by Ground Based Toxic Baiting for More Efficient and Acceptable Poisoning of Invasive Small Mammalian Pests”, in PLOS ONE, DOI: :
- The restricted placement of prefeed does not impede rapid discovery by possums: a field study of the movements of 22 radio collared possums showed that most were immediately attracted from as far away as 250m to a line of prefeed (visits peaking on the second day of prefeed availability), and possums continued to look for bait for up to 18 days after all bait was removed [6 ].
