Australian Zoologist (2017) 38 (4): 610–628.
Published: 01 September 2017
...Cameron A. Graham; Martine Maron; Clive A. McAlpine ABSTRACT Invasive predators are identified as an important threatening process implicated in native species decline and extinction in Australia. This study aimed at developing our understanding of landscape-level spatial patterns in the red fox...

Results of this analysis are compared with those obtained from analyses of spatial turnover in species composition of vertebrates and vascular plants. Biological dissimilarity between sites is correlated with inter-site environmental differences for all...

Successional studies have identified hollow-dependent wildlife species and species that feed from open ground among trees as those that are most...
