What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “For example, predators consume outbreaking populations of small mammals in a wide range of communities (Jaksic et al. 1997, Schmidt and Ostfeld 2003, Letnic et al. 2005) and eruptive populations of forest insects are commonly consumed by birds (Fayt et al. 1915, Morris et al. 1958, Cooper and Smith…”
Dietary overlap and prey selectivity among sympatric carnivores: could dingoes suppress foxes through competition for prey? (2011, background): “Furthermore, the availability of prey and predator abundance fluctuates in response to temporal variation in rainfall (Letnic and Dickman 2006; Letnic et al. 2005).”
Are dingoes a trophic regulator in arid Australia? A comparison of mammal communities on either side of the dingo fence (2010, background): “An alternative explanation is that cat populations in the arid zone are driven by spatial and temporal variation in the availability of their primary prey species, rabbits and rodents (Read & Bowen 2001; Holden & Mutze 2002; Letnic et al. 2005) more so than the presence of dingoes.”
Does a top‐predator provide an endangered rodent with refuge from an invasive mesopredator? (2009, background): “…dingo, cat and N. fuscus abundance is that cat populations in the arid zone are driven by spatial and temporal variation in the availability of their primary prey species, rabbits and rodents (Read & Bowen, 2001; Holden & Mutze, 2002; Letnic et al., 2005), more so than the presence of dingoes.”
Effect of fire on small mammals: a systematic review (2014, background): “2005) Pseudomys hermannsburgensis (Southgate and Masters 1996) Sminthopsis youngsoni (Letnic 2003) Sminthopsis youngsoni (Letnic et al. 2005) Heath Post-fire Cercartetus concinnus (Kelly et al.”
Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “by feral cats, a process thought to be contributing to a precipitous decline of small mammals (Letnic et al., 2005; Fisher et al., 2014).”
Amplified predation after fire suppresses rodent populations in Australia’s tropical savannas (2016, background): “Although it is often clear that abundance changes in response to fire (Layme et al. 2004; Letnic et al. 2005; Green and Sanecki 2006; Lindenmayer et al. 2008), in most cases, the demographic processes that lead to these changes in abundance are unknown (Parr and Andersen 2006; Clarke 2008; Driscoll…”
