Comment:

Methods are well described. This study may suggest the direction in which predator control proposal number 9007700 should proceed, whether or not that proposal is funded. ISRP reviewers note that the proposal has two components: predator control and PATH meeting attendance, and that while the former is rated in the proposal, the proposal for the latter activity is marginal. The reviewers would prefer that requests for funds to attend PATH meetings be justified in a separate proposal and in an overall umbrella proposal for all PATH components.
