TL;DR: The authors' analyses support the view that the reduction in available productivity has caused CWR mammals to suffer the greatest attrition, and the direct elimination of confined populations of mammals by exotic predators has exacerbated this attrition.

TL;DR: The loss of Australian land mammals is most likely due primarily to predation by introduced species, particularly the feral cat, Felis catus, and European red fox, Vulpes vulpes, and changed fire regimes.

TL;DR: The Action Plan for Australian Mammals 2012 as mentioned in this paper assesses the conservation status of all Australian mammals and concludes that 29 Australian mammal species have become extinct and 63 species are threatened and require urgent conservation action.

TL;DR: The global benefits of an increasingly used conservation action to stem biodiversity loss: eradication of invasive mammals on islands are estimated to be 107 highly threatened birds, mammals, and reptiles on the IUCN Red List—6% of all these highly threatened species—likely have benefitted from invasive mammal eradications on islands.

TL;DR: The current rapid decline of mammals in Kakadu National Park and northern Australia suggests that the fate of biodiversity globally might be even bleaker than evident in recent reviews, and that the establishment of conservation reserves alone is insufficient to maintain biodiversity.
