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 UnitedStates 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).
