Summary: Ecological niche models are useful tools for predicting and managing biological invasions, but they can be biased by niche shifts and non-equilibrium dynamics. The study on axis deer highlights the importance of understanding potential distribution and the ability of invasive species to shift their niche. The complete model provided valuable insights for identifying suitable regions for invasive species management.

Summary: The study found that there was no correlation between the population density and capture rate of dingoes and feral cats in dingo-baited areas. Although dingoes and feral cats had high overlap in activity patterns, there were significant differences in activity peaks. The suppression of feral cat population by dingoes was not evident.

Summary: Studying the diel activity patterns of wildlife is important for understanding their responses to human disturbance and managing overabundant and invasive species. In a protected area in northeastern Argentina, exotic wild boar and axis deer have been managed through controlled shooting. Camera trap data from 2017 to 2021 revealed differences in the activity patterns of both species, with wild boar showing cathemeral activity in summer and nocturnal activity in winter, while axis deer displayed moderate inter-seasonal and inter-annual changes in cathemeral activity. The study also found that the seasonal activity patterns of wild boar were not affected by the hunting suspension during the COVID-19 lockdown, but axis deer increased daytime activity in summer. The timing of hunting sessions overlapped with the core activity of the ungulates, suggesting that matching hunting sessions to their activity cores may improve management efficiency.

Summary: This study reveals the activity patterns and behavior of sambar deer in high-elevation peatlands, as well as the impact of ground-based shooting on their activity. Sambar deer prefer to activity in areas with dense vegetation close to roads, and their activity decreases with increasing snow depth in winter. Ground-based shooting can reduce the activity of sambar deer in high-elevation peatlands and their surrounding areas.

Summary: By analyzing camera trapping data collected from Pullen Pullen reserve in southwestern Queensland from 2014 to 2020, the researchers investigated the spatial and temporal activity patterns of feral cats. The study found that the probability of feral cat detection decreased with increasing ruggedness and increased as distance to creek lines decreased. These findings provide important information for the management of feral cats.

Summary: This study examined the movement of a nationally threatened potamodromous fish, silver perch, in the mid-Murray River network in south-eastern Australia using acoustic telemetry. The results showed that river discharge and other environmental variables play a significant role in influencing fish movements, highlighting the importance of managing fish populations within an integrated riverscape context.

Summary: Wetlands globally face increasing pressure from climate change, altered flow patterns, and human encroachment. The Landsat satellite imagery archive provides valuable data on how wetlands have responded to these pressures over the past three decades. This paper presents the Wetlands Insight Tool (WIT), a workflow that uses satellite observations to create multidecadal plots of wetland cover types in Australia, allowing for improved evidence-based decision making and facilitating the comparison of ground-based and satellite observations.
