Golden jackal expansion in Europe: a case of mesopredator release triggered by continent-wide wolf persecution? (2017, unknown): “, 2010), Australia (Letnic et al., 2011) and North America (Newsome and Ripple, 2015).”
Seven considerations about dingoes as biodiversity engineers: the socioecological niches of dogs in Australia (2012, background): “The mechanism required to generate faunal biodiversity benefits from positive dingo management, as argued by Letnic et al. (2009a, 2009b, 2011) and Johnson et al. (2007), is essentially a top-down process.”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “There is great debate about the strength of impacts l rge carnivores have upon mesopredators (Allen et al. 2013; Letnic et al. 2011; Letnic et al. 2009b).”
The current decline of tropical marsupials in Australia: Is history repeating? (2014, background): “This is likely to be because dingoes reduce the density of foxes in pastoral areas of southern Australia (Johnson et al., 2007; Letnic et al., 2011).”
Effects of predator control on behaviour of an apex predator and indirect consequences for mesopredator suppression (2012, background): “Studies analysing field data (Johnson & VanDerWal 2009) and historical bounty data (Letnic et al. 2011) both found significant effects of dingo activity indices on the upper range of fox indices, suggesting dingoes can limit fox activity.”
