Validating habitat suitability assessments with post‐translocation animal movement data
Wildlife translocations are essential for restoring species to their native habitats, and species distribution models (SDMs) have proven useful for identifying suitable habitats to guide this process. Validating model predictions with data from individual's post‐translocation, however, is rare due to the frequent lack of monitoring data from ...

The Devil in the Detail: A Review of a Long‐Running Australian Predator Management Program
We assessed the evidence base underpinning the prevailing narrative of a large and sustained reduction in fox abundance at Australia’s Booderee National Park. We identified a previously overlooked methodological change that has inflated the perceived ongoing suppression of fox abundance. Our work demonstrates how data biases can jeopardise the adaptive
