Developing and Testing Olfactory Based Lures for dama and Bennett's wallabies

Smell is a primary cue for both attracting wallabies to bait and then prompting wallabies to eat novel foods. There has been some research undertaken into looking at the effectiveness of a number of lures against dama wallabies, however results have been mixed while there has been little research against Bennetts’s wallabies.
We want research that results in effective olfactory lures (non semiochemicals) that attract dama and Bennett’s wallabies.
We want a feasibility study to determine the value of undergoing research in the development and testing of semiochemical based lures for dama and Bennett’s wallabies.

What’s important to us
The Ministry is looking for credible providers who have the capability, capacity, experience, and networks to deliver this research.
Having effective lures is critical in the effective control and monitoring of both dama and Bennett’s wallabies.

This tender has been awarded.
