... and native wildlife in peri-urban northern Sydney. We trapped rats and native wildlife at eight 1-ha bushland sites and sampled for a range of internal pathogens from necropsied individuals (n=85 rats) and animal/trap swabs (n=54 native individuals). We detected a high prevalence of rat lungworm...

Key findings included identification of a small but important group of domestic dogs which regularly roam in bushland areas; peri-urban wild dog activity, particularly in the dry season, likely driven by the availability of food sources...

... of loss of habitat. Conclusion We contend that Koalas in established home-ranges are resilient to some peri-urban stressors, such as dogs and cars, and are equipped to survive at low densities which may have been the norm prior to European settlement. We predict that Koalas south of Sydney are widely...

...). For example, after initial research into areas near roads, the eastern chipmunk Tamias striatus, was found to avoid roads and their verges. This avoidance was independent of traffic volume (Ford and Fahrig 2008). In contrast, a study of road kill in peri-urban Sydney and regional New South Wales, Burgin...
