• Can we save large carnivores without losing large carnivore science (2017, background): “Modern, human-dominated ecosystems typically comprise mixed land-uses including urbanisation, forestry, mining, hunting, recreation, agriculture (crops and/or livestock production) or other areas fragmented by roads, railways and fences, and containing exotic plant and animal species and artificial ”
• As clear as mud: A critical review of evidence for the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (2013, background): “…streams of debate are presently apparent (see previous reviews, replies and responses, in chronological order, by (1) Allen et al., 2011a; Letnic et al., 2011; Allen et al., 2011b; and Glen, 2012; and also by (2) Fleming et al., 2012; Johnson and Ritchie, in press; and Fleming et al., in press).”
• Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Aboriginal hunters were important apex redators in Australia following their arrival and the extinction of the megafauna (Fleming et al. 2012).”
• Cats (Felis catus) are more abundant and are the dominant predator of woylies (Bettongia penicillata) after sustained fox (Vulpes vulpes) control (2015, background): “The role of dingoes remains controversial (Glen 2012; Allen and Fleming 2012; Fleming et al. 2012; Allen et al. 2012) and will remain so until rigorous experiments are undertaken (Hayward and Marlow 2014).”
• The ecological effects of providing resource subsidies to predators (2015, background): “There is also concern that predator interactions are altered in human-influenced systems (Fleming et al., 2012; Newsome et al., 2014b).”
