What's on the menu? Examining native apex‐ and invasive meso‐predator diets to understand impacts on ecosystems

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
When comparing the diets of native and invasive predator species in semi‐arid Australia, we found that native apex dingoes primarily consume large kangaroos, wallabies and emus, whereas invasive cats and foxes consume smaller prey groups, including 8–9 times the volume of threatened and vulnerable native mammals.

Embryology of the fat‐tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata): A marsupial model for comparative mammalian developmental and evolutionary biology

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 254, Issue 2, Page 142-157, February 2025.
Abstract Background Marsupials are a diverse and unique group of mammals, but remain underutilized in developmental biology studies, hindering our understanding of mammalian diversity. This study focuses on establishing the fat‐tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata) as an emerging laboratory model, providing reproductive monitoring methods and a ...

A global assessment of large terrestrial carnivore kill rates

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 327-350, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Through killing and instilling fear in their prey, large terrestrial carnivores shape the structure and function of ecosystems globally. Most large carnivore species have experienced severe range and population declines due to human activities, and many are now threatened with extinction.

Late Holocene hunting economies in coastal southeastern Australia: Insights from the archaeological fauna of Curracurrang 1 Rockshelter, Royal National Park

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 350-381, July 2024.
ABSTRACT Curracurrang 1 (1CU5) is a rockshelter site located in the Royal National Park (RNP) on the coast south of Sydney. Excavated from 1962 to 1966, the site's rich Holocene cultural deposit has become important for understanding regional Late Holocene developments in Australian lithic and shell technologies.
