Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

Predation on Cane Toads by Saltwater Crocodiles

Australian Zoologist
Invasive Cane Toads Rhinella marina have fatally poisoned many Freshwater Crocodiles Crocodylus johnstoni in Australia, but impacts on the larger Saltwater Crocodile C. porosus remain unknown. We photographically document six cases of free-ranging Saltwater Crocodiles capturing and consuming Cane Toads. In five cases filmed in the lower Daintree River,

Intangible drivers of tolerance shape human–elephant coexistence in Southwest China

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2763-2780, August 2026.
Abstract Southwest China is home to a small but rapidly expanding population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), whose growth has intensified conflicts with people living in shared landscapes. These conflicts result in substantial economic losses and occasional human casualties. This coexistence paradox—where conservation success leads to significant
