Abstract:
A total of 276 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) was captured over 40 597 trap-nights during 1994–96 at three separate sites in central New South Wales, resulting in an overall trapping efficiency of one fox per 147 trap-nights. Trapping using multiple trap sets placed at carcases was 3.2 times more efficient than trapping using single trap sets. During 1994–95, when two of the sites suffered a severe drought, fox abundance declined to less than 0.2 foxes km–1 of spotlight transect; trapping efficiency at those sites also declined, to an average of one fox per 315 trap-nights. Mean trapping efficiency for non-drought periods was one fox per 135 trap-nights, 2.3 times more efficient than during the drought period. In 1995 and 1996, 353 foxes were shot in areas adjacent to each site. This gave the opportunity to compare sex and age biases between the trapped and shot samples: the ratio of males to females was significantly higher in the trapped sample than in the shot sample, and there was also a significantly higher ratio of adults to juveniles in the trapped sample than in the shot sample.

Abstract:
Abstract Fox squirrel Sciurus niger populations in the southeastern United States appear to have declined, and 3 (S. n. cinereus, S. n. shermani, and S. n. avicennia) of the 10 subspecies are currently listed with a conservation status of protection. Efforts to conserve and manage fox squirrels in the southeastern United States are constrained by difficulties in studying their populations because of low densities and low detectability. There is a need for an effective survey method to fill knowledge gaps on southeastern fox squirrel ecology. To address this need and to identify a cost-effective and reliable technique to survey and monitor southeastern fox squirrel populations, we compared four survey methods across seasons: live-trapping; camera-trapping; point counts; and line-transect surveys, in regard to whether a detection occurred at a survey point, the total number of detections at a survey point, and the total cost for each method. We assessed the effectiveness of capture and detection methods and the influence of seasonality using generalized linear mixed models. We found camera-trapping to be the most effective survey method for assessing the presence and distribution of southeastern fox squirrels. In total, camera-traps produced significantly more detections (n = 223) of fox squirrels than all other methods combined (n = 84), with most detections occurring in spring (n = 97) and the fewest in the autumn (n = 60). Furthermore, we detected fox squirrels at more survey points with camera-traps (73%) than all other methods (63%), and we identified 16% more individuals from camera-trap photographs than live-trapped. We recommend future monitoring of southeastern fox squirrels to be conducted using camera-trapping during the spring unless handling of animals is needed for other research purposes.

Abstract:
Safe and efficient techniques for the live capture of carnivores are limited. In this study, we identified some of the factors that could affect the success of capturing red fox cubs with live capture traps (also known as cage traps). During a three-year period, we analysed 32 captures of 25 fox cubs (1.3 captures/fox). We assessed the impact of the following factors: sex of animals, month of trapping, weather conditions recorded for each trap-night, the willingness of cubs to explore and enter cage traps, the researchers’ activity around den complexes before trapping and distances to the nearest village or farm. The overall trap rate (32 captures, including recaptured cubs) and the trap rate for individual cubs (25 captures) was 11.2 cubs/100 trap-nights and 8.7/100 trap-nights, respectively. Animals other than foxes were captured only three times, thus the selectivity of the cage-trapping method was high (32/35 = 91.4%). The probability of capturing one cub per night was 70.2% (32 cubs/47 nights). Cubs inhabiting dens in the vicinity of human settlements were less likely to explore and enter traps. Vixens were more likely to relocate their litters if the activity of the staff setting the traps was intense at the trapping site. The success of trapping was higher during poor weather as, for example, during rain or thunderstorms. None of the trapped animals suffered any injuries. Whereas cage trapping can be an effective and safe capture method for juvenile foxes, capture efficiency is affected by the experience of the trappers and a range of other factors including weather and distance to human settlements.

Abstract:
A study on Blanford’s Fox was conducted from Tabuk Province, a poorly studied area of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), from December 2015 until May 2016. This study adds to our knowledge, where two survey methods were used, which are the live trapping and camera trapping methods. Five specimens were captured alive, in addition to a dead specimen reported during the survey period. Measurements of live, captured specimens were obtained and the skull of the dead specimen was measured. The information provided will serve as a basis for future monitoring of Blanford’s Fox in Saudi Arabia, and it will provide the foundation for future research in the species’ range of occurrence in the Arabian Peninsula. In addition, more attention shall be paid to establish a joint collaboration between scholars from Saudi Arabia and Jordan to assess the status of Blanford’s Fox along the sandstone escarpments Hisma plateau.

Abstract:
Since European settlement in Australia the long-nosed potoroo (Potorous tridactylus) has suffered greatly from fox predation and habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation. To better understand the threats it faces we examined the population dynamics of the potoroo at two study sites in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales over five years, using live-trapping. As neither site had experienced inappropriate habitat change for over 25 years, fox predation was considered the major threat to this population. An assessment of fox activity and diet was undertaken at both sites for comparison with potoroo abundance. Potoroos increased at both sites over time, although at one site this increase was only in density and not range. The density increase would not have been detected using camera surveys, a monitoring technique recommended for this species. The relative abundance of foxes fluctuated over the study despite fox control in one of the two sites. Analysis of fox scats at the same sites indicated high levels of predation on potoroos. Future management should aim to provide effective fox control (particularly following any fire due to the associated loss of ground cover) and improved fox monitoring to ensure an accurate understanding of what is happening to the fox population.

Abstract:
Predators cause changes in the behaviour of many prey species. This study investigated whether trappability of wild southern brown bandicoots (Isoodon obesulus) and common brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) was influenced by odour cues suggesting the presence of potential predators. Trapping success was compared between traps with predator scents and controls in two different experiments. The first measured trapping success of single clean traps, traps with unfamiliar herbivore (horse) odour and traps scented with predator (fox, cat, quoll and dingo) odours, while the second offered three choices (fox, dingo and clean traps) simultaneously. Frequency of capture of bandicoots and possums was not influenced by odour, mass or sex in either experiment. The lack of avoidance response observed in this study suggests that neither southern brown bandicoots nor common brushtail possums alter foraging behaviour in response to olfactory cues that suggest the presence of exotic or Australian predators. This is consistent with previous studies, which indicate that native Australian marsupials do not avoid predator odours.

Full text
Abstract:
Large carnivores play many vital biological, economic, and conservation roles, however, their biological traits (low population densities, cryptic behavior) make them difficult to monitor. Pumas have been particularly difficult to study because the lack of distinctive markings on their coats prevents individual identification, precluding mark-recapture and other similar analyses. Further, compared to temperate areas, research on the interspecific interactions of Central American felids is particularly lacking. I used single- and multi-season, single-species occupancy models and two-species co-occurrence models to analyze camera trapping and habitat data collected at eight study sites across Belize. Puma occupancy was positively influenced by jaguar trap success, understory density, canopy cover, and human trap success, and negatively influenced by stream density. Jaguar trap success was the best predictor of where pumas occurred, while prey species were not found to influence puma occupancy. Mean occupancy was 0.740 (0.013) and ranged from 0.587 (0.042) to 0.924 (0.030). Over time, puma occupancy rates were generally high (> 0.90) and stable. Puma occupancy was higher in logged areas, suggesting that current levels of natural resource extraction at those sites were not detrimental to the species. Co-occurrence modeling showed little evidence for interactions between the carnivores, suggesting that jaguars may be acting as an umbrella species and that conservation efforts directed at jaguars are likely to benefit the other carnivores, including pumas. Overall, these findings are positive for puma conservation, but human-induced land use change is expanding and further monitoring will give us insight into how pumas respond to human encroachment.

Abstract:
Known for their high metabolism, shrews possess an incessant need to eat high quality foods. This drives much of the biology of shrews and has caused great difficulties when attempting to study shrews using mark-recapture methods. I reviewed the literature and identified potential causes of varied trappability in small mammals. Weather related factors were important in determining activity levels and thus trappability. Social relationships (both inter- and intraspecific) were found to contribute to trappability, in some cases with dominant individuals completely excluding subordinates from traps. Trap type was the easiest factor for a researcher to vary, and thus received most of the attention in the published literature. Sherman, pitfall, and Longworth traps were commonly used, and although pitfall traps are commonly used as removal traps, there is the potential for their use as live traps. The pitfall and Longworth traps seemed the most appropriate for capture of particularly small mammals, especially shrews; however comparisons between these three trap types were confounded by differing methods used for each trap type, and small sample sizes. I tested the relative efficiencies of pitfall and Longworth traps for livetrapping vagrant shrews (Sorex vagrans), and found the Longworth trap to be much more efficient, capturing up to five times as many individual shrews as pitfall traps. I also tested the utility of addition of mealworms as food for shrews, and the effect of increased trap check frequency on the trap mortality rates of vagrant shrews. The addition of mealworms significantly reduced mortality rates, and the addition of one midday trap check, so that traps were not left open for more than 8 h, reduced overall trap mortality rates in mealworm baited traps from nearly 60% (in non mealworm baited traps, checked at 12 h intervals) to less than 10%. Finally, I tested the effect of drift-fences on capture rates of shrews in pitfall and Longworth live traps on riparian and upland traplines. I found no significant differences between the trap types, or between traps equipped with drift-fences, and those without. However, any effect would have been masked by overall low trap success during this experiment.

Abstract:
We construct a vertical imaging system designed to image along the quantization axis of the experiment. We demonstrate that it has a resolution on the order of 1-2μm which is on par with previous characterizations of the constituent components. We find that the inclusion of the vertical imaging system has a detrimental effect on the atom loading performance of the MOT. We show that this decrease is by approximately a factor of 2 down to 6.5×10⁶ atoms per second and 8.1×10⁷ atoms respectively. We subsequently detail the design of a novel lattice apparatus capable of tuning the lattice spacing by many orders of magnitude on the timescale of a typical experimental cycle. A proof-of-principle for this so-called dilating lattice is realized and the mechanism for variable lattice spacing is shown to work. Lastly, we cover our efforts towards measuring the effect of Feshbach resonances on collisional decoherence rates in ⁶Li. To this end, we show that the Rabi frequency we can create given our current tools is approximately 100Hz. A unknown strong mechanism for decoherence obstructs our experimental signature and a brief discussion of our attempts to discover its origin is presented.

Abstract:
Adsorption studies (xenon and iodine) in microporous materials have been carried out on various materials such as zeolites (FAU, MFI, SAV and CHA) and metal-organic frameworks (MOF-5, HKUST-1 and JUC-32). The as-synthesised and commercial zeolites containing Na+, Li+ or K+ cations and then subsequently ion-exchanged for other extra framework cations. The xenon adsorption in zeolites was interpreted using isosteric heats of adsorption (CHA) and also 129Xe NMR (FAU). CHA type zeolites show a high affinity and capacity for xenon at low xenon pressures <10kPa. This affinity changes depending upon the extra framework cation present due to the positioning and size of the cation. The electric field gradient was a primary factor in the xenon adsorption since a neutral framework (ALPO-CHA) was found to have a lower affinity for xenon but having the same framework type. This was further highlighted by the introduction of Si into the framework and a comparison was made between the three structures CHA, ALPO-CHA and SAPO-34 with the latter being a silicon substituted aluminophosphate carrying a slightly negatively charged framework. Another framework studied was that of STA-7 (SAV) and it was found that varying the silicon within the framework had an effect upon the xenon adsorption. Xenon interaction with the MOFs was minimal when compared to the zeolites. MOF materials adsorbed more iodine per gram of material than any of the zeolites studied. In some materials, two different species of iodine exist. These species, I2 (isolated) and (I2)n (wires) have different Raman frequencies and the (I2)n species have been observed in MOFs for the first time.

Abstract:
In this thesis I describe work that I have done in two separate research areas. The first involves optical micro manipulation of nano-scale objects and their orientation. The second concerns the development of a semiconductor laser to provide high beam quality,average and peak power and short pulse durations. Optical tweezers are an excellent tool to manipulate nano scale objects in all three dimensions. An additional degree of control, the rotational alignment of assymetrical particles, is demonstrated by polarisation analysis of two photon induced fluorescence of the trapped and rotated semiconductor nanorods.Mode-locked vertical external-cavity surface emitting lasers (VECSELs) have recently achieved multi-watt average power levels. Nevertheless the need to optimize the gain structure design, in order to consistently obtain sub 200 fs pulse durations, still remains. The evolution of the intra-cavity power build-up transient is utilized for a novel spectro-temporal technique which allows for the extraction of the curvature of the gain spectrum during actual operation and enables the observation of the evolution of the gain spectrum during lasing build-up. In addition a method to obtain the total cavity loss via the combination of the power build-up transient and photo luminescence decline, during lasing onset is shown. The use of an amplified, femtosecond-pulsed and GHz repetition rate VECSEL to generate multi-watt average power supercontinuum in photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) is presented. Supercontinuum generation with GHz pulse repetition rates is of interest for frequency combs as the high repetition rate increases the mode spacing of the comb and energy per mode. Two different PCFs, one with an all-normal dispersion profile and one with a zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) at 1040 nm, are pumped with the amplified VECSEL pulses generating spectral components over 200 nm and 500 nm, respectively. The thesis concludes with a proposal to use the advantages of both optical tweezers and VECSELs to analyse and resonantly excite the vibrational frequencies of single nano-scale objects.

Abstract:
The work described in this thesis details the development of a multicore fibre device that can be used to optically trap multiple cells and particles. The optical trapping of multiple cells at close proximity allows for cell-to-cell interactions to be studied. Current methods available for creating arrays of traps are free space optical systems that use diffractive optics, laser scanning techniques or the interference of multiple beams to create the multiple traps. A fully integrated, fibre optic based, multiple particles, optical trapping device could be used in non-optical research facilities such as biological laboratories to aid with their research into cellular processes. In order to create the multiple traps, the distal end of the multicore fibre needs to be modified to induce a lensing effect. The multicore fibre device presented in this thesis was lensed in a fusion splicer; this refracts the outputs from the four cores to a common point in the far field where interference fringes are formed. The initial investigation demonstrated one-dimensional interferometric optical trapping through coupling light into two of the diagonal cores of the lensed multicore fibre. This produced linear interference fringes approximately 250 ± 25 μm from the end of the fibre with a fringe spacing of 2 ± 0.3 μm. The linear interference fringes were used to optically trap polystyrene microspheres with diameters of 1.3 μm, 2 μm and 3 μm in the high intensity regions of the fringes. Coupling into all four cores using a diffractive optical element produced an array of intensity peaks across the interference pattern with high visibility fringes greater than 80 %. Each intensity peak, spaced 2.75 μm apart could trap a single particle in two dimensions. The optical trapping of multiple microspheres and Escherichia coli bacterial cells was demonstrated proving that the lensed multicore fibre has the potential to be used to trap cells in biological experiments. The active manipulation of trapped 2 μm microspheres was also demonstrated through the rotation of the input polarisation to the multicore fibre. Finally, work towards creating a “turn-key” optical trapping device was demonstrated through the fabrication of a fully integrated multicore fibre device using an ultrafast laser-inscribed fan-out to couple light into each core. Single mode operation of the device was demonstrated at 1550 nm, using a weaker lensed MCF device. The two dimensional trapping of 4.5 μm polystyrene microspheres was shown in an array of peaks spaced 11.2 μm apart at a distance of 400 ± 25 μm from the end of the fibre.

Abstract:
Quantum technology has made great strides in the last two decades with trapped ions demonstrating all the necessary building blocks for a quantum computer. While these proof of principle experiments have been demonstrated, it still remains a challenging task to scale these experiments down to smaller systems. In this thesis I describe the development of technology towards scalable cryogenic ion trapping and quantum hybrid systems. I first discuss the fundamentals of ion trapping along with the demonstration of ion trapping on a novel surface electrode ion trap with a ring shaped architecture. I then present the development of a cryogenic vacuum system for ion trapping at ~4 K, which utilizes a closed cycle Gifford McMahon cryocooler with a helium gas buffered ultra-low vibration interface to mechanically decouple a ultra-high vacuum system. Ancillary technologies are also presented, including a novel in-vacuum superconducting rf resonator, low power dissipation ceramic based atomic source oven and an adaptable in-vacuum permanent magnet system for long-wavelength based quantum logic. The design and fabrication of microfabricated surface ion traps toward quantum hybrid technologies are then presented. A superconducting ion trap with an integrated high quality factor microwave cavity and vertical ion shuttling capabilities is described. The experimental demonstration of the cavity is also presented with quality factors of Q6~6000 and Q~15000 for superconducting niobium nitride and gold based cavities respectively, which are the highest demonstrated for microwave cavities integrated within ion trapping electrode architectures. An ion trap with a multipole electrode geometry is then presented, which is capable of trapping a large number of ions simultaneously. The homogeneity of five individual linear trapping regions are optimized and the design for the principle axis rotation of each linear region is presented. An overview of microfabrication techniques used for fabricating surface electrode ion traps is then presented. This includes the detailed microfabrication procedure for ion traps designed within this thesis. A scheme for the integration of ion trapping and superconducting qubit systems as a step towards the realization of a quantum hybrid system is then presented. This scheme addresses two key diffculties in realizing such a system; a combined microfabricated ion trap and superconducting qubit architecture, and the experimental infrastructure to facilitate both technologies. Solutions that can be immediately implemented using current technology are presented. Finally, as a step towards scalability and hybrid quantum systems, the interaction between a single ion and a microwaves field produced from an on chip microwave cavity is explored. The interaction is described for the high-Q microwave cavity designed in this thesis and a 171Yb+ion. A description of the observable transmission from the cavity is described and it is shown that the presence of a single ion can indeed be observed in the emission spectrum of high-Q microwave cavity even in the weak coupling regime.

A combination of radio frequency radiation and magnetic field gradients was used to trap atoms in dressed states. In a magnetic field with a quadrupole minimum. RF fields resonant with the (I F. m)) 11. -1) -- 1, 0) transition trapped the atoms on the surface of a sphere, and gravity caused the atoms to pool at the bottom of the sphere. BECs were transferred into this dressed Zeeman trap with 100% efficiency, with lifetimes of up to 30 s, and trapping frequencies of up to 250 Hz were measured. A hard disk platter with a specially written magnetic pattern was used to generate magnetic fields to confine atoms tightly. Detrimental interactions with the surface were avoided by using an extremely thin film with a large magnetic remnant. BECs of up to 5 x 10" atoms were produced in cigar shaped traps -40 pin above the surface, and trap frequencies up to 5 kHz were measured. After evaporation, condensed clouds moved(] closer to the surface to probe imperfections in the magnetic potential, revealing defects at distances closer than 35 prn. Finally, BECs were dropped from a height of 350 pm in an attempt to achieve specular reflection. but a large amount of dispersion was observed.
(cont.) Finally, BECs were loaded into a three-dimensional optical lattice, and a quantum phase transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator was observed. Using microwave spectroscopy. the density dependent "clock shift" was was found to depend on the occupation number of the wells. The singly occupied lattice sites were then investigated as an atomic clock system with no density shift. Linewidths as small as 1 Hz FWHMI out of 6.8 GHz are comparable to current atomic frequency standards.

Abstract:
This interdisciplinaray work combines expertise in engineering and entomology in Israel and the US, to develop an acoustic trap for mate-seeking female medflies. Medflies are among the world's most economically harmful pests, and monitoring and control efforts cost about $800 million each year in Israel and the US. Efficient traps are vitally important tools for medfly quarantine and pest management activities; they are needed for early detection, for predicting dispersal patterns and for estimating medfly abundance within infested regions. Early detection facilitates rapid response to invasions, in order to contain them. Prediction of dispersal patterns facilitates preemptive action, and estimates of the pests' abundance lead to quantification of medfly infestations and control efforts. Although olfactory attractants and traps exist for capturing male and mated female medflies, there are still no satisfactorily efficient means to attract and trap virgin and remating females (a significant and dangerous segment of the population). We proposed to explore the largely ignored mechanism of female attraction to male song that the flies use in courtship. The potential of such an approach is indicated by studies under this project. Our research involved the identification, isolation, and augmentation of the most attractive components of male medfly songs and the use of these components in the design and testing of traps incorporating acoustic lures. The project combined expertise in acoustic engineering and instrumentation, fruit fly behavior, and integrated pest management. The BARD support was provided for 1 year to enable proof-of-concept studies, aimed to determine: 1) whether mate-seeking female medflies are attracted to male songs; and 2) over what distance such attraction works. Male medfly calling song was recorded during courtship. Multiple acoustic components of male song were examined and tested for synergism with substrate vibrations produced by various surfaces, plates and loudspeakers, with natural and artificial sound playbacks. A speaker-funnel system was developed that focused the playback signal to reproduce as closely as possible the near-field spatial characteristics of the sounds produced by individual males. In initial studies, the system was tasted by observing the behavior of females while the speaker system played songs at various intensities. Through morning and early afternoon periods of peak sexual activity, virgin female medflies landed on a sheet of filter paper at the funnel outlet and stayed longer during broadcasting than during the silent part of the cycle. In later studies, females were captured on sticky paper at the funnel outlet. The mean capture rates were 67 and 44%, respectively, during sound emission and silent control periods. The findings confirmed that female trapping was improved if a male calling song was played. The second stage of the research focused on estimating the trapping range. Initial results indicated that the range possibly extended to 70 cm, but additional, verification tests remain to be conducted. Further studies are planned also to consider effects of combining acoustic and pheromonal cues.
