2. Methods
We developed a 10-question electronic survey with multiple
parts to some questions via SurveyMonkey (http://www.
surveymonkey.com/). This survey was disbursed via e-mail in
2010 to California County Agricultural Commissioner’s offices,
members of the University of California Cooperative Extension
(UCCE), University affiliates other than UCCE, Commodity Boards,
California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-Wildlife Services, given
their knowledge on the impact of wildlife pests to agricultural
commodities. This survey was approved by the University of
California, Davis, Institutional Review Board for human subject
research (Protocol number 201018437-1).
