Willingness to pay for blue-green space and koala habitat protection following a Covid-19 versus bushfire experimental prime

Environmental Research Communications
Community-supported investment in blue-green space and fauna habitat protection is important, yet the drivers of willingness to pay (WTP) are poorly understood.

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Atmospheric Trace Metal Deposition from Natural and Anthropogenic Sources in Western Australia

Atmosphere, 2020
Aerosols from Western Australia supply micronutrient trace elements including Fe into the western shelf of Australia and further afield into the Southern and Indian Oceans. However, regional observations of atmospheric trace metal deposition are limited.

Impacts of the Australian Black Summer Fires on Bat Occupancy and Activity: The Role of Traits and Conservation Status

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The response of bats to Australian megafires was assessed one year after fires. High severity fire had a negative effect on total bat activity and the activity or occupancy of six species, while a further 10 species was not associated with any fire covariate. Overall, bat responses were complex and not easily predicted by traits alone.

Impact of climate on Australian, non‐Vector‐borne infectious animal diseases: A scoping review

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Changes to Australia's climate continue to be increasingly relevant for human, animal and planetary health, and have far‐reaching impacts on disease emergence and food security. There is a deficit of knowledge in Australia around how climatic conditions are affecting infectious animal diseases, beyond the more obvious spatial distribution changes of ...

Names for Weather Disasters in Australia

Вопросы ономастики
Despite the importance of weather disasters, the names that people give them have been little treated in scholarship, both from an Australian perspective and from that of other parts of the world. This article explores patterns in the naming of bushfires

Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare.

Integrating biodiversity protection into emergency management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Megafires have emerged as a considerable threat to biodiversity conservation worldwide. The biodiversity‐focused response and recovery actions that occurred during Australia's 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires demonstrate that it is possible to protect biodiversity alongside human life and property during disasters.
