Not all Temperature Shocks are Alike: Disentangling Heat and High Temperature Shocks and Their Effects on Inflation in Australia

open access: yesEconomic Record, Volume 102, Issue 338, Page 323-349, September 2026.
We study the effects of heat and high temperature shocks on inflation in Australia using monthly, state‐level temperature anomaly data via two stages. In the first stage, we decompose temperature anomalies into orthogonal components using a structural vector autoregression with long‐run restrictions.

PVA Highlights Different Management Actions Required to Prevent Extinction in Fenced and Unfenced Populations of Reintroduced Western Quolls

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Population Viability Analysis (PVA) is a broad tool which can be used to estimate the likelihood of population persistence in translocated populations. We used PVA to evaluate the viability of two reintroduced populations of western quolls, a threatened marsupial carnivore, using population‐specific parameters.

The Value of Small Reserves for Small Animals Illustrated With a New Species of Flightless Grasshopper

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat degradation drives animal extinction, but similar patterns of habitat loss and fragmentation may have very different conservation and management outcomes for different taxonomic groups. Here, we demonstrate that a new species of flightless grasshopper maintains viable populations in small native vegetation remnants (10−100 ha) in the ...

Assessing the Distribution, Density and Ecological Impacts of Feral Deer in Urban and Peri‐Urban Areas of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Feral deer are associated with a range of environmental impacts including overgrazing and trampling of native vegetation, increased insolation, ringbarking, creation of wallows, erosion and stream degradation. Consequences of invasive deer impacts can threaten vulnerable ecological communities and have the potential to alter long‐term ...

How IoT Enables the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) During a Wildfire Event

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article highlights the growing importance of air quality assessment, particularly given the increased frequency and severity of climate‐driven wildfires. Recent research suggests that wildfire particulate matter may be more toxic than equivalent amounts of ambient PM2.5, with smoke composition and the different stages of biomass ...
