Lethal control of an apex predator has unintended cascading effects on forest mammal assemblages
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that multiple cascade pathways induced by lethal control of an apex predator, the dingo, drive unintended shifts in forest ecosystem structure, suggesting that apex predators’ suppressive effects on herbivores and mesopredators occur simultaneously and should be considered in tandem to appreciate the extent of apex predator’ indirect effects.

The potential for LiDAR technology to map fire fuel hazard over large areas of Australian forest
Owen Price,Christopher E. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: The results show the benefits of spatially and temporally specific in situ fuel sampling methods such as LiDAR, and are widely applicable for fire management actions which aim to decrease human and environmental losses due to wildfire.

The effect of a top predator on kangaroo abundance in arid Australia and its implications for archaeological faunal assemblages
TL;DR: It is argued that dingoes likely shaped the human economy in the past through human–dingo competition for the same limited resources through their role as prey regulators that suppress kangaroo abundance.

Desert small mammal responses to wildfire and predation in the aftermath of a La Nińa driven resource pulse
TL;DR: The authors investigated the effects of a wildfire that followed exceptional rainfalls associated with the La Nina event of 2010-2011 on small mammal assemblages in a stony (gibber) desert ecosystem in central Australia.
