Impacts of locust control pesticides on arid-zone fauna. This project aims to understand how different animals encounter pesticide in the landscape through quantifying residue deposition in arid grasslands and investigating how pesticides used to control locust plagues affect fauna. This project will investigate fenitrothion and fipronil, the main pesticides used in Australia for locust control. It will develop a deposition model for aerial pesticide spraying, determine the short-term effect of sprayed pesticides on the behaviour and condition of free-ranging target fauna that use the environment differently, and quantify the relative importance of dietary and non-dietary exposure routes to gauge the importance of animal behaviour on pesticide exposure. Anticipated outcomes are improved baseline assessments for locusticides.

治蝗农药对干旱区动物的影响。该项目旨在通过量化干旱草原上的残留物沉积和调查用于控制蝗灾的农药如何影响动物群，了解不同动物如何在景观中遇到农药。该项目将调查杀螟硫磷和氟虫腈，这是澳大利亚用于控制蝗虫的主要杀虫剂。它将为空中喷洒农药开发一个沉积模型，确定喷洒的农药对以不同方式利用环境的自由放养目标动物的行为和状况的短期影响，并量化饮食和非饮食接触途径的相对重要性，以衡量动物行为对农药接触的重要性。预期成果是改进对杀蝗虫剂的基线评估。
