Stemming the tide: progress towards resolving the causes of decline and implementing management responses for the disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia (2015, background): “Some of these studies specifically or by implication also attempt to evaluate the relative impacts of putative drivers of this decline (Burbidge and McKenzie 1989; Cardillo and Bromham 2001; Chisholm and Taylor 2007; Fisher et al. 2014; Johnson and Isaac 2009; McKenzie et al. 2007).”
The disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia: context, cause, and response (2011, background): “…life history, taxonomic, and ecological characteristics, and was geographically uneven (Burbidge & McKenzie 1989; Morton 1990; Short & Smith 1994; Smith & Quin 1996; Cardillo & Bromham 2001; Johnson 2006; Chisholm & Taylor 2007; McKenzie et al. 2007; Burbidge et al. 2008; Johnson & Isaac 2009).”
Ecological and socio-economic factors affecting extinction risk in parrots (2016, background): “As for other taxonomic groups, large bodied parrots are more prone to extinction risk (Fig S2b) (Bennett and Owens 1997; Cardillo 2003; Cardillo and Bromham 2001; Purvis et al. 2000).”
Developing an evolutionary ecology of fear : how life history and natural history traits affect disturbance tolerance in birds (2006, methodology): “Maximum body mass was tabulated from Dunning (1993), and when a species was not reported there, I obtained means from species accounts published in The Birds of North America and the Handbook of Australian, New Zealand, and Antarctic Birds.”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “…species often have higher extinction risk, in part, because large-body size is correlated with other extinction-prone traits: small population sizes, long generation times, and high trophic positions (Cardillo & Bromham 2001, Gaston & Blackburn 1995, Gonzalez & Chaneton 2002, McKinney 1997).”
Human Population Density and Extinction Risk in the World's Carnivores (2004, background): “A number of recent studies have linked variation in extinction risk or decline among species to biological traits (Gaston and Blackburn 1995; Bennett and Owens 1997; Owens and Bennett 2000; Purvis et al. 2000; Cardillo and Bromham 2001; Cardillo 2003; Fisher et al. 2003; Jones et al. 2003), and, ind”
Is research effort allocated efficiently for conservation? Felidae as a global case study (2009, background): “Large-bodied animals suffer increased extinction risk in many taxa (Johst and Brandl 1997; Cardillo and Bromham 2001 ).”
Biodiversity loss, trophic skew and ecosystem functioning (2003, background): “…levels has been documented repeatedly 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS in a wide range of terrestrial (Diamond 1982; Redford 1992; Didham et al. 1998; Purvis et al. 2000; Alroy 2001; Cardillo & Bromham 2001) and aquatic (Pauly et al. 1998; Jackson et al. 2001; Myers & Worm 2003) ecosystems.”
Biological determinants of extinction risk: why are smaller species less vulnerable? (2003, background): “…indicates that body size is one such trait: smaller-bodied species seem to be less vulnerable to decline and extinction than larger species (Gaston & Blackburn, 1995; Smith & Quin, 1996; Bennett & Owens, 1997; Jennings, Reynolds & Mills, 1998; Purvis et al., 2000b; Cardillo & Bromham, 2001).”
A Comparative Analysis of Specialization and Extinction Risk in Temperate‐Zone Bats (2004, background): “…extinction risks (Laurance 1991; Landweber & Dobson 1999; 1293 Conservation Biology, Pages 1293–1303 Volume 18, No. 5, October 2004 Owens & Bennett 2000; Purvis et al. 2000; Cardillo & Bromham 2001; Jones et al. 2001; Crooks 2002; Dulvy & Reynolds 2002; Duncan et al. 2002; Harcourt et al. 2002).”
Persistence of Large Mammal Faunas as Indicators of Global Human Impacts (2007, background): “Because the extinct thylacine (or Tasmanian wolf [T. cynocephalus]) had a restricted range on continental Australia in 1500 (approximately the Flinders Range—Paddle 2000), the loss of this large carnivorous mammal did not exclude the majority of the continent.”
Mass extinctions and macroevolution (2005, background): “…2004a,b) and among endangered taxa today (Gaston and Blackburn 1995; Bennett and Owens 1997; McKinney 1997; Jernvall and Wright 1998; Russell et al. 1998; Purvis et al. 2000a,b; Cardillo and Bromham 2001; von Euler 2001; Lockwood et al. 2002; Petchey and Gaston 2002; Zavaleta and Hulvey 2004).”
Inferring persistence of indigenous mammals in response to urbanisation (2005, background): “Interestingly, a number of recent studies have found an association between range decline and increasing body size, suggesting that small mammals with lower body weights are more likely to remain extant (Smith & Quinn, 1996; Cardillo & Bromham, 2001; Cardillo, 2003).”
Body mass and extinction risk in Australian marsupials: The ‘Critical Weight Range’ revisited (2009, background): “Cardillo and Bromham (2001) found that although very small species had the lowest extinction risk, extinction risk did not significantly decline again among the largest-bodied species.”
Analysis of factors implicated in the recent decline of Australia's mammal fauna (2007, background): “…fecundity, greater longevity, and lower population density (Brown, 1995), all of which have been implicated in pre-disposing mammalian species to extinction (Damuth, 1981; Gaston & Blackburn, 1995; Smith & Quin, 1996; McKinney, 1997; Purvis et al., 2000; Cardillo & Bromham, 2001; Johnson, 2002).”
