Artificial homes can help protect our wildlife murdoch.edu.au/news/articles/…

Did you know the biggest threat to our wildlife is lack of shelter? Tenaya Duncan is investigating how artificial shelters can keep wildlife safe from predators while they wait for their homes in disturbed landscapes to be restored. ➡️ Learn more: loom.ly/gahyGbA

Counting the bodies: feral cats and foxes have devastated populations of Australian reptiles, birds and mammals. Every year, about 2.6 billion animals are killed. Not so happy about this. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

Introduced to Australia ~150 years ago, the red fox devastated local wildlife. 70% of samples contain mammals, half are native species. Foxes eat everything (cf. dingoes preferring large prey and feral cats small prey) #InvasiveSpeciesWeek @Mammal_Society onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ma…

In honour of this new paper, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve found in a predator diet sample? I once found an elastrator, the elastic band used to castrates sheep. Ever wondered why you don’t see paddocks full of little lamb ball bags at tailing time? Basically a fox curry puff

@Tree_Mortality @MUniResearch It looks like this link is now working: doi.org/10.1111/brv.12…

@western_web @MUniResearch Super interesting! Could you please resend the link?
