Peanut oil

• The demand for peanut oil is rising due to growing consumer awareness and health concerns.
• Consumers are increasingly aware of the health benefits of peanut oil, which is driving the demand for these oil and oil products.
• Hence, these factors are fuelling the refined segment in the peanut oil market.
• While unrefined peanut oil still maintained their market share, the momentum leaned toward organic options as consumers increasingly sought transparency in sourcing and a commitment to cleaner, more environment-friendly products.

• But can we train wild animals to help us in conservation work?
• Wild animals can be taught to recognise dangerous predators, avoid toxic food, and stay away from people.

Growing number of aliens

• These species are known as alien species, and their number continues to grow.
• Some alien species are relatively harmless in their new environment, and can even positively affect the ecosystem.
• Native predators may not recognise an alien prey species or lack the ability to hunt them effectively.

  1.7 million foxes, 300 million native animals killed every year: now we know the damage foxes wreak

Speeding up a natural process

• Native predators do eventually learn to hunt alien prey, but this process can take a long time when prey aren’t encountered often.
• We conducted our study on bushland in the outskirts of Sydney, New South Wales, using native bush rats (Rattus fuscipes) as our model predator.
• Our chosen alien prey species, speckled cockroaches (Nauphoeta cinerea), don’t live in Sydney and surrounds, so rats have no experience with them.

Trained for an invasion

• The invasion involved ten dead and tethered cockroach “invaders”.
• We compared prey survival rates in sites with trained and untrained rats, and found cockroach prey in training sites were 46% more likely to be eaten than prey in non-training sites.
• To do this, immediately after the invasion we used cameras to compare rat visits to all sites using a peanut oil attractant.
