Virtual fence devices- A promising innovation: A response to Coulson and Bender (2019)

Abstract

Coulson and Bender (2019) have provided a critique to our paper 'Roadkill mitigation: trialing virtual fence devices on the west coast of Tasmania' (Fox et al. 2019). Here, we clarify some ambiguous points that have confused Coulson and Bender and refute other claims. Although we presented results from a single study and a trial, we stand by our claim that these devices hold great promise and are worthy of further research.
