Gaps in monitoring leave northern Australian mammal fauna with uncertain futures
Northern Australian biomes hold high biodiversity values within largely intact vegetation

Social transmission of avoidance among predators facilitates the spread of novel prey
Warning signals are an effective defence strategy for aposematic prey, but only if they are
recognized by potential predators. If predators must eat prey to associate novel warning …

Out of the frying pan: Reintroduction of toad‐smart northern quolls to southern Kakadu National Park
Invasive species are a leading cause of native biodiversity loss. In Australia, the toxic,
invasive cane toad Rhinella marina has caused massive and widespread declines of …

Not such silly sausages: evidence suggests northern quolls exhibit aversion to toads after training with toad sausages
The invasion of toxic cane toads (Rhinella marina) is a major threat to northern quolls
(Dasyurus hallucatus) which are poisoned when they attack this novel prey item. Quolls are …

High mortality and small population size prevent population recovery of a reintroduced mesopredator
Northern Australia's native mammal fauna has undergone a severe decline in recent
decades. Putative factors include altered fire regimes, cat predation, poisoning by cane …

Can conditioned taste aversion be deployed at a landscape level to mitigate the impact of invasive cane toads on northern quolls?
Context Animals can be taught new behaviours to mitigate threatening processes. However,
it is yet to be confirmed if such teaching can be deployed in the field. Here we test this …
