(2015) modelled the effects of reintroducing Tasmanian devils to parts of mainland Australia. We suggest that several inferred input values used for species interactions are questionable, contradicting what is known from wild devils, leading to overestimates in model predictions. Assumptions that overstate potential benefits could lead to unrealistic expectations and mistakes in management decisions. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Biological Conservation, v.196, p. 213-214 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1873-2917 0006-3207 |
