Subject: [Canids-L]: Non-lethal control of canids

Hi

I am interested in using scent marking to prevent dingoes (Canis lupus
dingo) from entering areas as a form of non-lethal control.

I have heard that this approach has been used on African Wild Dogs,
preventing them from entering farming areas.

If anybody could provide a reference to reviews or refereed articles
describing any such work or similar on other canid species, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks
