Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors Open
In order to effectively conserve a species, it is often important to understand the ecological niche it occupies, and the resources required to sustain it. For predators, prey is typically the most important resource, and predators either …

Variable Vigilance: Native Wildlife React Differently to Live Cats and Their Cues Open
Cats ( Felis catus ) kill millions of native Australian mammals and birds each year. The prey naivety hypothesis suggests this is due to native wildlife failing to recognise cats as predators. The Mata Hari Judas (MHJ) queen technique, whe…

Using Scale Pattern Variation to Identify Individuals in the Long‐Lived Reptile, <i>Egernia rugosa</i> Open
Effective population monitoring programmes rely on identifying individual animals accurately and ethically without negatively impacting their natural behaviour and survival. This study aimed to determine if the chin scale patterns of the t…

Artificial Waterbodies: A Valuable Source of <span>eDNA</span> for Detecting Threatened Birds Open
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has transformed biodiversity monitoring, especially in aquatic environments; yet, its application in terrestrial habitats remains limited. In arid regions, artificial waterbodies, such as farm dams and water trough…

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet Open
Accurate dietary information is important to improve ecological knowledge and assist in the conservation of threatened predators and their prey. Globally, many raptor populations are threatened and would benefit from accurate diet informat…

Environmental <span>DNA</span> Reveals Habitat Variables Driving Platypus (<i>Ornithorhynchus anatinus</i>) Distribution Across an Urbanised Landscape Open
Freshwater waterways, and species that depend on them, are threatened by urbanisation and the consequences of the urban stream syndrome. In south‐east Queensland, Australia, little is known about the impacts of the urban stream syndrome on…

Evaluating sublethal anticoagulant rodenticide exposure in deceased predatory birds of South-East Queensland, Australia Open
The use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) to manage rodent populations can result in unintentional lethal or sublethal poisoning of non-target wildlife, particularly predatory birds. In south-east Queensland, Australia, rodent infestatio…

Red pandas on the move: weather and disturbance effects on habitat specialists Open
Challenging weather events can make winters harsh for habitat and diet specialists. They may also incur high energetic costs due to reduced availability of food resources and elevated predation risk. Using GPS satellite collars we tracked …

Immediate impacts of fire on koala movement in a fragmented landscape Open
Hazard reduction burns could pose a significant conservation challenge to threatened habitat specialists, such as koalas Phascolarctos cinereus. This study examines the immediate effects of a medium to hot hazard reduction burn on a small …

Vibration as a New Survey Method for Spiders Open
Spiders have important ecological roles as generalist predators, are a significant source of food for many other species, and are bioindicators of environmental health. However, spiders are poorly studied. Given their importance, a compari…

Investigating the effects of landscape productivity on the spatial ecology of a threatened marsupial inside feral predator exclosures Open
Landscape productivity and resource dispersion are key drivers of the movement patterns of many species. In less productive environments, home ranges are generally larger as individuals travel further to access resources. The greater bilby…

The Ecological Separation of Deer and Domestic, Feral and Native Mammals in Tropical Northern Australia—A Review Open
We explored the ecological and historical factors that led to formation of the unique guild of native and introduced mammalian herbivores between 5 and 1000 kg in northern Australia. Following the disappearance of large native herbivores a…

Trialling a new method to attract feral cats (Felis catus) in situ – the Mata Hari Judas queen Open
Context Feral cats are a significant threat to wildlife in Australia and globally. Current feral cat management techniques have limitations that can result in wary, remnant individuals persisting in the landscape and reducing overall pest …

Spontaneous Lesions of Endangered Geriatric Julia Creek Dunnarts (Sminthopsis douglasi, Archer 1979) with Emphasis in Reproductive Pathology Open
Julia Creek dunnarts are an endangered species of carnivorous marsupials and the focus of multiple conservation strategies involving significant resources such as captive breeding programs. Despite the relevance for conservation, no study …

High survivorship and rapid population growth of the greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis) reintroduced to a feral predator exclosure Open
Context The distribution of the threatened greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis) has significantly contracted since the introduction of feral cats and foxes. To counteract these threats, bilbies have been reintroduced to multiple feral predator…
