Population structure of the yellow‐footed rock‐wallaby Petrogale xanthopus (Gray, 1854) inferred from mtDNA sequences and microsatellite loci
TL;DR: In this paper, the mtDNA sequencing and analysis of variation at four micro-satellite loci among three geographically close sites in south-west Queensland (P. x. celeris) and, for mtDNA only, samples from South Australia (P xanthopus) as well.
Population structure of the yellow-footed rock-wallaby
TL;DR: The genetic results suggest that dispersal between colonies is limited, consistent with an ecological study of dispersal at one of the sites, and suggest that management of yellow‐footed rock‐wallabies should treat each colony as an independent unit and that conservation of the Queensland and South Australian populations as separate entities is warranted.

TL;DR: Dingo diets have a flexible and generalist diet that differs among bioclimatic zones and with environmental productivity in Australia, and future research should focus on examining how dingo diets are affected by local prey availability and human‐induced changes to prey communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of two indices of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) abundance in an arid environment
TL;DR: The suitability of spotlight counts to index red fox abundance was assessed in an arid environment through a comparison with a scat deposition index (active attractant), suggesting that the spotlight counts were accurately documenting fluctuations in population size.
Journal ArticleDOI
The breeding-season diet of wedge-tailed eagles (Aquila audax) in western New South Wales and the influence of Rabbit Calicivirus Disease
TL;DR: A lack of data on the relative abundances of reptiles and birds prevented an understanding of the eagle's functional responses to be developed and definitive conclusions to be drawn, Nevertheless, the eagles were observed to modify their diet to the change in rabbit densities by consuming larger quantities of native prey species.
