Expert-derived dataset to support the manuscript "A general optimal adaptive framework for managing a threatened species".<br>The excel files contain the aggregated expert inputs to the adaptive management model described in the manuscript. Two elicitation excel files are included; AM_elicitation-combined.xlsx is the original aggregated file; the other "AM_elicitation-combined_forMS.xlsx" contains an abbreviated version that was used in the final modelling. The Word document provides the instructions given to the participants during the elicitation process.<br>The other excel file (Cost summary.xlsx) contains the raw data used to approximate the relative costs of aerial and ground baiting.<br>
