Is the loss of Australian digging mammals contributing to a deterioration in ecosystem function (2014, background): “Restoration projects may therefore need to consider the reintroduction of digging mammals (Crain & Bertness 2006, James & Eldridge 2007).”
Foraging animals create fertile patches in an Australian desert shrubland (2009, background): “When these effects are combined with differences in percapita rates of excavation between species (James and Eldridge 2007), the likely effects of the decline in medium-sized fossorial mammals is a dramatic alteration to resource movement and patterns of fertile patch creation in the Australian arid”
Rabbits: manageable environmental pests or participants in new Australian ecosystems? (2012, background): “James and Eldridge (2007) showed that soil taken from pits dug by rabbits, bilbies, bettongs and goannas (Varanus gouldii) contained more litter, seed and labile carbon than did normal soil.”
