Efficacy of an ultrasonic device as a deterrent to dingoes (Canis lupus dingo): a preliminary investigation

In April 2001, a 9-year-old child was attacked and killed by dingoes on Fraser Island, Australia. The Dingo Management Strategy formulated in response to this incident proposed ultrasonic deterrents as one of a number of non-lethal management techniques requiring further investigation. In this paper...
