Ongoing unraveling of a continental fauna: Decline and extinction of Australian mammals since European settlement (2015, background): “Competition with, and habitat degradation caused by, introduced herbivores has also been detrimental to many Australian mammals, as demonstrated by livestock removal experiments (90) and correlative studies that compare mammal assemblages in comparable areas with and without introduced herbivores (9”
Stemming the tide: progress towards resolving the causes of decline and implementing management responses for the disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia (2015, background): “More recently, monitoring programs have also commenced in some non-government conservation reserves (Kutt et al. 2012; Legge et al. 2011a; Legge et al. 2011b), with less comprehensive monitoring also established recently in some Indigenous Protected Areas (Fitzsimons et al. 2012).”
Amplified predation after fire suppresses rodent populations in Australia’s tropical savannas (2016, background): “A shift to burning in the early dry season has been promoted to reduce the incidence and extent of late-season wildfires and to create fine-scaled mosaics of burnt and unburnt habitats (Andersen et al. 2005; Driscoll et al. 2010; Legge et al. 2011b).”
Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “…native herbivores (Foster et al., 2014) can negatively impact other animal species, and many studies have documented recovery of native fauna populations following cessation of grazing (Legge et al., 2011) or greater faunal densities in ungrazed compared to grazed areas (Kuiper and Parker, 2013).”
