November 2005, Canberra Edited by: Dr Steven McLeod, Vertebrate Pest Research Unit, NSW Department of Primary Industries iii iv Foreword Wild deer are an emerging pest management problem in Australia. Unfortunately there is no consensus on how best to manage deer as they continue to expand their range and increase in density. Recreational hunters and deer farmers view them as a highly valued resource and commodity. Other groups (such as primary producers, disease management agencies, conservation agencies, horticulturalists) view them as a potentially serious pest. The conditions under which wild deer are either a valuable resource or a pest are not clearly understood. The implications of such differences in perceived resource value also require investigation for effective coordinated management. Pest management agencies have been slow to react, probably due to the fact that the issues surrounding the management of deer in Australia are not clearly understood. A workshop, held in Canberra on 9 and 10 November 2005, brought stakeholders together to openly discuss their goals for the management of deer in Australia. The participants were invited to submit both spoken presentations and written papers explaining their position on, aspirations and goals for, the management of wild deer. The proceedings of the workshop will form a useful and unique reference document for the development of understanding, and for policy development and research agendas. Aims and Objectives 1. To record the aims, objectives and aspirations of the main stakeholder groups that have an interest in the management of wild deer in Australia. 2. Identify knowledge gaps in the management of wild deer in Australia. 3. Use this information to provide direction for research. 4. Promote communication between stakeholder groups. Stakeholder groups that participated included: • recreational hunters, various hunting organisations, Sporting Shooters Association • deer farmers • government (state) pest management agencies (including Livestock Health and Pest Authorities <LHPA> and Game Council of NSW) • R&D corporations and government funding agencies (RIRDC, DEH, BRS), • scientists (with in depth knowledge of the management of deer, from the UK and NZ, and also Australia) • animal welfare agencies (RSPCA) • disease management agencies (DAFF) • government conservation agencies (state NPWS) • government policy developers • local government (eg councils) These proceedings have been published to provide a permanent record of the aims, objectives and aspirations of each stakeholder group. The proceedings will be a useful reference for the development of research priorities. v vi Contents Foreword .................................................................................................................................... v Contents ................................................................................................................................... vii Workshop Summary: The Big Issues ......................................................................................... 1 Workshop papers ....................................................................................................................... 5 How can research contribute to the management of wild deer in Australia? ...................... 7 The Australian Government Department of the Environment and Heritage and the management of deer in Australia ....................................................................................... 22 Bureau of Rural Sciences/National Feral Animal Control Program (NFACP) perspective on wild deer management .............................................................................. 26 Management of deer: RSPCA Australia perspective ......................................................... 30 Wild deer in Western Australia: A review of the current issues ......................................... 32 Management of Deer in Victoria ........................................................................................ 45 Deer management in Queensland ..................................................................................... 51 Wild deer in Tasmania – exotic pest or valued resource? ................................................. 60 Wild deer in South Australia: position paper for National Deer Workshop ........................ 68 Management of Fallow Deer on Kangaroo Island ............................................................. 72 Feral deer situation in the ACT .......................................................................................... 78 The changing policy environment for red deer management in Scotland: from enterprise to societal needs, from individual to cooperative management ........................ 80 What can Australia learn from deer management overseas? ........................................... 86 Rusa deer (Cervus timorensis) in New Caledonia: overview of current research and management perspectives .......................................................................................... 90 Participatory methods for enhancing deer management ................................................... 95 Wild deer in SE Queensland – graziers’ pest or charismatic megafauna? ..................... 100 An evaluation of the status and management of wild deer in Australia in 2005 .............. 110 Science based management of wild deer in Australia: A case study – rusa deer in the Royal National Park ...................................................... 116 The Game Council NSW and its emerging role in game (including wild deer) and feral animal management in NSW ............................................................................ 123 Australian Deer Association .............................................................................................127 Wild Deer In Queensland ................................................................................................. 130 The Australian Deer Research Foundation Ltd ............................................................... 149 Position statement: Sporting Shooters Association of Australia ...................................... 152 Issues for the management of wild deer in Australia ....................................................... 154 Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................ 156 vii viii Workshop Summary: The Big Issues A number of themes emerged from the workshop. They were: • prevention of new populations • sustainable opportunities for cultural and heritage valued hunting • cost effective control techniques • sound understanding of behaviour and ecology of deer • relationships between density and impacts • management needs to be informed by targets and impacts • policies fail due to lack of technical knowledge Project Proposals Workshop participants suggested the following list of potential projects as worthy of investigation (the list is not in order of priority). Project title Develop a risk assessment tool to make decisions on keeping deer in new areas. Background There is a need to assess the risk of keeping deer in new areas so regional groups can make a decision to issue licences for deer or to set appropriate conditions based on risk. 1 General Approach • needs to be done with the support of the deer industry • use current Goat Risk Assessment tool in South Australia as a guide • look at risk factors for deer • develop decision tool. Project title Understanding the values and motivations of deer releasers. Background • need to understand: i) who/how many; ii) why. • understanding will lead to development of effective education/regulation/incentives. General Approach Interviews with known/admitted

Between 1840 and 1907, over 10,000 dromedary camels were imported to Australia, and today feral populations number well over a million. Although contemporary Aboriginal hunters in Australia’‘s Western and Central Deserts regularly encounter camels, they rarely pursue them. We present data on camel encounter and pursuit rates, with comparisons of energetic search and handling efficiency relative to other foraging options among Martu, the Traditional Owners of a large region of the Western Desert. We then explore some hypotheses concerning the determinants of prey rank and the technological and social contexts that influence resource value. In some respects the case runs counter to common ex- pectations about hunting large ungulates, and highlights the special kinds of opportunity costs that large game acquisition might entail in many contexts.

  • Whole-Genome Sequencing of Wild Siberian Musk
    Yi et al. BMC Genomics (2020) 21:108 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-6495-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Whole-genome sequencing of wild Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus) provides insights into its genetic features Li Yi1†, Menggen Dalai2*†, Rina Su1†, Weili Lin3, Myagmarsuren Erdenedalai4, Batkhuu Luvsantseren4, Chimedragchaa Chimedtseren4*, Zhen Wang3* and Surong Hasi1* Abstract Background: Siberian musk deer, one of the seven species, is distributed in coniferous forests of Asia. Worldwide, the population size of Siberian musk deer is threatened by severe illegal poaching for commercially valuable musk and meat, habitat losses, and forest fire. At present, this species is categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. However, the genetic information of Siberian musk deer is largely unexplored. Results: Here, we produced 3.10 Gb draft assembly of wild Siberian musk deer with a contig N50 of 29,145 bp and a scaffold N50 of 7,955,248 bp. We annotated 19,363 protein-coding genes and estimated 44.44% of the genome to be repetitive. Our phylogenetic analysis reveals that wild Siberian musk deer is closer to Bovidae than to Cervidae. Comparative analyses showed that the genetic features of Siberian musk deer adapted in cold and high-altitude environments. We sequenced two additional genomes of Siberian musk deer constructed demographic history indicated that changes in effective population size corresponded with recent glacial epochs. Finally, we identified several candidate genes that may play a role in the musk secretion based on transcriptome analysis. Conclusions: Here, we present a high-quality draft genome of wild Siberian musk deer, which will provide a valuable genetic resource for further investigations of this economically important musk deer.
