... eight years, it is believed that in 2007 there may have been over one million feral camels. This has been associated with increasing negative impacts on desert ecology, cultural values and human enterprise. In this paper, the potential to exploit Achilles' heel aspects of camels has been examined...

... ecologists have championed the role that research on exotic mammals in their countries (which are often more abundant and of lower conservation value than native mammals) could play in this process, and highlighted their potential as model systems within which to evaluate and advance contemporary ecological...

It is argued that as they engage with the ideas, values and behaviours of urban residents, nature conservation professionals will be challenged to broaden their understanding of nature conservation and to question the present dominance of the goal of biodiversity conservation. Urban...

The length and conversational nature of each interview allowed participants to make detailed observations about wildlife rescue services. Interviewees talked about their views and behaviours in the context of their upbringing, values, social...

... dimension theories propose that there is a value attitude behaviour hierarchy (Fulton et al. 1996), where people s underlying values determine what type of attitude they hold and can help to explain their intention to participate in wildlife conservation. Human dimension research not only aims...

Creating sensory misinformation, that is uninformative or unrewarding cues, is a new approach with applications for managing wildlife and conserving threatened species...

However, the ease of reading belies the tremendous work required to collate and structure the scattered information that give this book its excellent scientific value. The tremendous reference list (commendably focusing on open-access sources over...

... by some ecologists as old-fashioned (Brown 1999; Pouchev 2015). If old-fashioned is an accurate portrayal of foraging studies, which it is not, it does not mean such studies have no value. There is a fundamental lack of data on the ecology and behaviour of Australian birds and foraging studies provide...

In this paper I review historical references to Noisy Miners and current research on the ecology of the species to construct...
