Development and Validation of a Standardised Genomic Tool for Conservation Management of the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) Open
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and population isolation, increasing the risk of inbreeding and extinction. Genomic tools are valuable for guiding management decisions, and a standardised tool…

Reversing the decline of threatened koala (<i>Phascolarctos cinereus</i>) populations in New South Wales: Using genomics to enhance conservation outcomes Open
Genetic management is a critical component of threatened species conservation. Understanding spatial patterns of genetic diversity is essential for evaluating the resilience of fragmented populations to accelerating anthropogenic threats. …

Outcomes for an arboreal folivore after rehabilitation and implications for management Open
Wildlife rehabilitation is a critical part of animal welfare that contributes to species conservation. Despite the resources that go into rehabilitation, how animals fare after release from care is unknown. This is particularly true for cr…

A new genetic method for diet determination from faeces that provides species level resolution in the koala Open
An animal’s diet is a crucial trait that defines their realised ecological niche, especially for dietary specialists such as the koala ( Phascolarctos cinereus ), a threatened arboreal marsupial folivore. Unfortunately, the current methods…

Individuality and stability of the koala ( <i>Phascolarctos cinereus</i> ) faecal microbiota through time Open
Gut microbiota studies often rely on a single sample taken per individual, representing a snapshot in time. However, we know that gut microbiota composition in many animals exhibits intra-individual variation over the course of days to mon…

Revisiting the 4 R’s: Improving post-release outcomes for rescued mammalian wildlife by fostering behavioral competence during rehabilitation Open
Rescue, rehabilitation, and release (‘rescue-rehab-release’) of wildlife is an increasingly widespread practice across ecosystems, largely driven by habitat loss, wildlife exploitation and a changing climate. Despite this, its conservation…

A large-scale automated radio telemetry network for monitoring movements of terrestrial wildlife in Australia Open
Technologies for remotely observing animal movements have advanced rapidly in the past decade. In recent years, Australia has invested in an Integrated Marine Ocean Tracking (IMOS) system, a land ecosystem observatory (TERN), and an Austra…

An assessment of the effects of habitat structure on the scat finding performance of a wildlife detection dog Open
Summary As threatened species decline in number, they become more difficult to detect and assess, decreasing our ability to make informed conservation management decisions. Wildlife scat detection dogs are a promising non‐invasive survey m…
