Journal ArticleDOI
Amplified predation after fire suppresses rodent populations in Australia’s tropical savannas
Lily Leahy,Sarah Legge,Sarah Legge,Katherine Tuft,Hugh W. McGregor,Hugh W. McGregor,Leon A. Barmuta,Menna E. Jones,Christopher N. Johnson +8 more
TL;DR: Fire in the northern savannas has little direct effect on populations of these small mammals, but it causes declines by amplifying the impacts of predators, most severe for high-intensity burns that remove a high proportion of vegetation cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Havens for threatened Australian mammals: the contributions of fenced areas and offshore islands to the protection of mammal species susceptible to introduced predators
Sarah Legge,Sarah Legge,John C. Z. Woinarski,Andrew A. Burbidge,Russell Palmer,Jeremy Ringma,James Q. Radford,James Q. Radford,Nicola J. Mitchell,Michael Bode,Brendan A. Wintle,Marcus Baseler,Joss Bentley,Peter Copley,Nick Dexter,Chris R. Dickman,Graeme R. Gillespie,B. Hill,Christopher N. Johnson,Peter Latch,Mike Letnic,Adrian D. Manning,Erin E. McCreless,Peter Menkhorst,Keith Morris,Katherine E. Moseby,M. J. Page,David J. Pannell,Katherine Tuft +28 more
TL;DR: A stock-take of current island and fenced havens in Australia and assess the extent of their protection for threatened mammal taxa that are most susceptible to cat and fox predation is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental evidence that feral cats cause local extirpation of small mammals in Australia's tropical savannas
Anke S. K. Frank,Anke S. K. Frank,Christopher N. Johnson,Joanne M. Potts,Alaric Fisher,Michael J. Lawes,John C. Z. Woinarski,Katherine Tuft,Ian J. Radford,Iain J. Gordon,Iain J. Gordon,Mary-Anne Collis,Sarah Legge,Sarah Legge,Sarah Legge +14 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to provide direct evidence that cats are capable of extirpating small mammals in a continental setting, in spite of their low population densities, and supports the hypothesis that predation by feral cats is contributing to declines of small mammal species in northern Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stemming the tide: progress towards resolving the causes of decline and implementing management responses for the disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia
Mark Ziembicki,John C. Z. Woinarski,Jonathan K. Webb,E. P. Vanderduys,Katherine Tuft,James A. Smith,James A. Smith,Euan G. Ritchie,Terry Reardon,Ian J. Radford,Noel D. Preece,Noel D.

Griffiths,Graeme R. Gillespie,Anke S. K. Frank,Anke S. K. Frank,Alaric Fisher,Andrew A. Burbidge +28 more
TL;DR: This paper reviewed recent and ongoing studies that provide information on population trends across a broader geographic scope than the previously reported sites, and provided some information on the conservation status and trends for mammal groups (bats, larger macropods) not well sampled in previous monitoring studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions among threats affect conservation management outcomes: Livestock grazing removes the benefits of fire management for small mammals in Australian tropical savannas
TL;DR: The authors investigated whether interactions between fire regimes and introduced livestock affect the conservation goal of population recovery for small mammals in Australia's tropical savannas, using a long-term and landscape-scale study.
