TL;DR: This study is the first to report on the fine‐scale spatial genetic structure within a rock‐wallaby colony and it provides the first robust evidence for strong female philopatry and spatial clustering of related females within this taxon.

TL;DR: Findings shed light on the processes that have resulted in the endangered status of rock-wallaby species in Australia and they have strong implications for the conservation and management of both the remaining ‘connected’8 brush-tailed rock- wallaby colonies in the northern parts of the species’ range and the remnant endangered populations in the south.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the population structure and maintenance of genetic diversity within colonies of the threatened brush‐tailed rock‐wallaby and the importance of life history traits to inbreeding avoidance between first‐degree relatives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the MARXAN cost function to include the ecological value of marine habitats while identifying spatial solutions for terrestrial nesting habitat reserves and found that including marine values influenced terrestrial reserve designs most when terrestrial habitat targets were low and little or none of the target was represented in pre-existing protected areas.

TL;DR: Oystercatchers showed stronger site fidelity to territories where chicks were fledged than territories where they failed to raise young.
