ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the influence of inherent and acquired behaviour on the control of black-backed jackal, Canis mesomelas, populations in the Cape province. Initially, current black-backed jackal management practices were investigated under different circumstances, to determine how behaviourally linked factors influence the performance of control devices. Black-backed jackals were captured with gin traps or killed by coyote getters (explosive-propelled) in experimental control operations in the field. During this phase, results indicated that low population densities of black-backed jackal and intensive predator control efforts by land occupants negatively influenced their success in capturing black-backed jackals. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gedurende hierdie studie is die invloed van inherente en aangeleerde gedrag op die beheer van rooijakkals-, Canis mesomelas, bevolkings in die Kaapprovinsie ondersoek. Aanvanklik, is huidige rooijakkalsbeheerpraktyke onder verskillende omstandighede ondersoek, om te bepaal hoe gedragsgekoppelde faktore die werkverrigting van beheerapparaat beinvloed. Gedurende eksperimentele beheeroperasies in die veld, is proefdiere met gifskieters (plofstog aangedrewe) gedood of met slagysters gevang. Gedurende hierdie fase, het resultate getoon dat 'n lae bevolkingsdigtheid van rooijakkalse en intensiewe roofdierbeheerpogings deur grondbewoners die vangsukses van rooijakkalse negatief beinvloed.
