TL;DR: Aerial culling is needed to cost-effectively and humanely control feral horse populations in Australia's alpine parks as discussed by the authors, and the relatively small amount of suffering feral horses experience during a cull is outweighed by avoiding suffering and death of horses from starvation and thirst, avoiding the suffering of native animals displaced by horses and avoiding the ethical concerns of driving threatened species towards extinction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a lipid biomarker palaeothermometer technique and mercury flux changes for the past 3500 years from the sediments of Club Lake, a high-altitude alpine tarn in the Snowy Mountains, southeastern Australia was used to reconstruct past temperatures.

TL;DR: The Snowy Mountains contain the largest contiguous area of subalpine and alpine habitat in Australia as mentioned in this paper, which is regarded as a major determinant of the faunal composition of the snowy mountains.

TL;DR: In this paper, changes in vegetation over time along five alpine summits that are part of the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environment (GLORIA), were assessed including species richness, α-diversity, β-diversity, vegetation and growth form cover as well as composition.
