The mesopredator release theory predicts that the density of subordinate predators will
increase as dominant predators decline. Persistent debate around mesopredator release in …

Despite the staggering economic and ecological impacts of invasive animals, maps of their
distribution are often only broad generalisations. Detailed knowledge about the spatial …

Understanding the constraints that dominant predators impose on subordinate species is
important for predicting ecosystem dynamics and anticipating outcomes of predator …

It can be challenging to distinguish management impacts from other population drivers,
including 'natural'processes and co-occurring threats. However, disentangling processes is …

Context Invasive species are a major cause of biodiversity loss across much of the world,
and a key threat to Australia's diverse reptile fauna. There has been no previous …

Fire shapes animal communities by altering resource availability and species interactions,
including between predators and prey. In Australia, there is particular concern that two …
