WildObs Camera Trap Data Package: Dingo SCR population estimates

Brendan F. Alting, Neil R. Jordan, Benjamin J. Pitcher

Camera trap data package from the Wildlife Observatory of Australia's Wildlife Camera Database. Dataset ID: NSW_Myall_Lakes_Dingo_Fox_Cat_Jordan_2023_WildObsID_0036. This study was structured to primarily estimate dingo population density in the Myall Lakes region of NSW, Australia. Other mesopredators and prey were also captured on …

Aerial Audiograms of Two Long-Nosed Fur Seals (Arctocephalus forsteri)

Christine Erbe, Adrienna van Gogh, Elysia Kriek, Lachlan Gill et autres

Anthropogenic noise from Australia’s expanding Blue Economy, including shipping, fishing, and offshore renewable energy development, may impact pinnipeds on land and at sea, as they rely heavily on sound for communication, environmental sensing, and predator avoidance. Effective noise management requires species-specific hearing …

Pit stop off the humpback highway: multi agency response to a sub-adult humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae in Sydney Harbour, Australia

Vanessa Pirotta, Bronwyn Kershaw, Ben Cottier, Trevor Boswell et autres

The east coast Australian humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae population continues to recover post-whaling and is now estimated to be at least 50,000 individuals. The combination of population growth and increased human activities within coastal environments means there is a high likelihood of …

In-Air Behavioral Audiograms of Two Australian Sea Lions (Neophoca cinerea)

Christine Erbe, Brad McKenzie, Jacob Stek, Lachlan Gill et autres

) is an endangered species with threats including bycatch, prey depletion, pollution, and habitat loss. Coastal and offshore industrial development causes disturbance-largely mediated by noise. Yet nothing was known about this species' hearing sensitivity. We present the first in-air audiograms of two …

An adaptive management approach for the regent honeyeater zoo-based conservation breeding release program

Joy S. Tripovich, Gordana Popovic, Andrew Elphinstone, Mick Roderick et autres

Context Zoo-based conservation breeding and release programs help mitigate biodiversity loss from human-driven change, using adaptive management to evaluate actions, guide research priorities, and inform policy. Zoo-based conservation breeding has played a significant role in the recovery program of the critically endangered …

A framework for disentangling drivers of microbiome composition for wildlife conservation

Vanessa Morris, Benjamin J. Pitcher, Robert G. Harcourt, Isabelle Charrier et autres

Abstract Animals’ microbiomes are important to individual health and population viability. Failure to incorporate microbiomes into conservation actions may have profound consequences. In a changing world, whether microbiomes of wild populations are shaped by endogenous (e.g. host) or exogenous (e.g. environment) drivers …

Ultrasonic playbacks deter wild dingoes: implications for threatened species conservation

Dushmantha Gamage, Benjamin J. Pitcher, Robert G. Appleby, Neil R. Jordan

Context Predation, although a natural process, can represent a key risk to threatened species, particularly when populations reach critically low levels or where invasive predators are concerned. In Australia, dingoes may prey on key populations of threatened ground-nesting native species, such as …

Population Structure and Genetic Diversity Analyses Reveal Isolation That May Imperil the Northernmost Colony of the Endangered Australian Sea Lion

Vanessa Morris, Anthony A. Chariton, Robert G. Harcourt, Catherine E. Grueber et autres

ABSTRACT Marine environments are experiencing rapid warming, substantially altering ecosystems. Populations at the edge of a species' range are more vulnerable to environmental change as they are first affected and may have limited dispersal opportunities. This vulnerability may be exacerbated in species …
