We describe the first use of fertility control to manage a free-living mammal population in Europe. An immunocontraceptive vaccine (GonaCon) was used to reduce female fertility in an invasive feral goat Capra hircus population. Adaptive management was implemented to assess the feasibility of fertility control and to allow prediction of the required level of vaccination to limit goat numbers. The individual probability of breeding success decreased for two years following treatment. Understanding the population demographics alongside modelling of the individual and population-level responses to the vaccine are important for future management.

标志性入侵山羊 Capra hircus 种群的适应性管理

我们描述了在欧洲首次使用生育控制来管理自由生活的哺乳动物种群。免疫避孕疫苗 (GonaCon) 用于降低侵入性野山羊 Capra hircus 种群的雌性生育能力。实施适应性管理以评估生育控制的可行性,并允许预测所需的疫苗接种水平以限制山羊数量。个体繁殖成功的概率在治疗后两年内下降。了解人口统计数据以及对疫苗的个体和人口水平反应的建模对于未来的管理很重要。
