Predator exposure improves anti‐predator responses in a threatened mammal (2018, background): “Dingo predation (Allen & Fleming, 2012), competition with rabbits and pastoral activities have also been implicated in their decline (Short & Turner, 2000).”
Climate, climate change and range boundaries (2010, background): “Evidence that ‘other species’ are major determinants of distribution boundaries comes from studies of invasive species (e.g. van Riper et al., 1986; Channell & Lomolino, 2000a,b; Short & Turner, 2000) and from competition/ predation experiments (Davis et al., 1998a,b; Pople et al., 2000).”
Surplus killing by introduced predators in Australia—evidence for ineffective anti-predator adaptations in native prey species? (2002, background): “The burrowing bettong was reintroduced from Dorre Island to the nearby mainland site of Heirisson Prong at Shark Bay on the west coast of Western Australia in 1992 (Short et al., 1994; Short and Turner, 2000).”
Reintroduction of fossorial native mammals and potential impacts on ecosystem processes in an Australian desert landscape (2007, background): “This has largely been attributed to two introduced predators; the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the feral cat (Felis catus) (Smith and Quin, 1996; Johnson, 2006), as well as habitat fragmentation, overgrazing, altered fire regimes and ight 2007 Published by u.au (A.I. James). the invasion of feral…”
Mammal extinctions on Australian islands: causes and conservation implications (2002, background): “…extinctions and declines on mainland Australia and that fox control allows remnant populations of CWR mammals to recover and allows successful re-introductions of CWR mammals (Kinnear et al., 1988, 1998; Friend, 1990; Friend & Thomas, 1994; Start et al., 1998; Morris, 2000; Short & Turner, 2000).”
Analysis of factors implicated in the recent decline of Australia's mammal fauna (2007, background): “…that the success of predator baiting programmes is strong evidence for a causal link between these introduced predators and extirpation in native mammalian faunas (Short et al., 1992; Christensen & Burrows, 1994; Kinnear et al., 1998; Short & Turner, 2000; Abbott, 2002; Possingham et al., 2004).”
A conservation paradox for the 21st century: The European wild rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, an invasive alien and an endangered native species (2008, background): “…European rabbits at the reintroduction site for the burrowing bettong Bettongia lesueur did not appear to be a limiting factor for populations of this species (Short & Turner, 2000) and was probably not a major causal agent for its extinction on the mainland (Robley, Short & Bradley, 2001, 2002).”
