Spinifex, fire, and fate

Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 685-696, November 2025.
Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Feral cats and habitat degradation drive mammal declines in northwestern Australia: An expert elicitation to prioritize management actions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
A literature review and expert elicitation identified mammal declines in northwestern Australia are predominantly driven by feral cat predation and habitat degradation from feral livestock and fire mismanagement. We found that management actions aimed at reducing the density of feral livestock and improving fire regimes are most likely to provide ...

Using Scale Pattern Variation to Identify Individuals in the Long‐Lived Reptile, Egernia rugosa

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Effective population monitoring programmes rely on identifying individual animals accurately and ethically without negatively impacting their natural behaviour and survival. This study aimed to determine if the chin scale patterns of the threatened yakka skink (Egernia rugosa) could be used to consistently identify individual skinks.

Parallels and discrepancies between non‐native species introductions and human migration

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1365-1395, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio‐economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, and spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social and biological ...
