A closely related family member of bush stone-curlews, the beach stone- curlew Esacus giganteus is also decreasing in numbers due to loss of habitat for urban and industrial development, predation, nest disturbance and nest destruction (Department...

A 2015 survey of Angiostrongylus spp. showed prevalence rates of 16.5% in black rats and 26% in bush rats in urban Queensland (Aghazadeh et al. 2015). The high prevalence of Angiostrongylus spp. found in this study may...

... across south-eastern Australia (Garnett et al., 2010). Taxonomically the Bush Stone-curlew is a wader, but it inhabits lowland open woodlands including agricultural areas with remnant native vegetation (Gates and Paton, 2005), and is now often recorded within peri-urban and urban areas, particularly...

In Malagasy forests, for example, Black Rats were once thought to have replaced native nesomyine rodents through...
