Conservation havens free of invasive predators are increasingly relied upon for fauna
conservation, although havened populations can lose anti‐predator traits, likely making …

As invasive predators continue to drive global biodiversity loss, predator‐free havens are
rapidly being established to recover threatened fauna. An unintended consequence of these …

Among marsupials, the endangered numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is the only obligate

Predators reintroduced to fenced reserves may help restore trophic balance. However,
predator reintroductions are challenging, as they can threaten resident prey species and …

Prey selection is influenced by several predator-and prey-specific factors, including physical
and behavioural characteristics of both predators and prey, as well as environmental factors …

Australian fauna within the 'critical weight range'(CWR; 35 g–5.5 kg) have been
