Monitoring indicates rapid and severe decline of native small mammals in Kakadu National Park, northern Australia
John C. Z. Woinarski,M. Armstrong,K. Brennan,Alaric Fisher,Anthony D. Griffiths,B. Hill,Damian Milne,Carol Palmer,Simon Ward,Michelle Watson,S. Winderlich,Stuart Young +11 more
TL;DR: The present study has demonstrated a major decline in a key conservation reserve, suggesting that the mammal fauna of northern Australia may now be undergoing a decline comparable to the losses previously occurring elsewhere in Australia.

Multiple cameras required to reliably detect feral cats in northern Australian tropical savanna: an evaluation of sampling design when using camera traps
Danielle Stokeld,Anke S. K. Frank,Brydie M. Hill,Jenni L. Choy,Terrance Mahney,Alys Stevens,Stuart Young,Djelk Rangers,Warddeken Rangers,Graeme R. Gillespie +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy of camera-trap sampling designs for detecting cats in the tropical savanna of northern Australia and found no significant difference in detection rates of feral cats using a variety of lures and micro-habitat placement.

Rapid increase of Australian tropical savanna reptile abundance following exclusion of feral cats
Danielle Stokeld,Alaric Fisher,Tim Gentles,Brydie M. Hill,John C. Z. Woinarski,Stuart Young,Graeme R. Gillespie +6 more
TL;DR: Predation by cats, in synergy with other disturbance processes, could adversely impact reptile species and communities elsewhere in the world where feral cats have been established and warrants further investigation.

Monitoring indicates greater resilience for birds than for mammals in Kakadu National Park, northern Australia
John C. Z. Woinarski,Alaric Fisher,M. Armstrong,K. Brennan,Anthony D. Griffiths,B. Hill,J. Low Choy,Damian Milne,Alistair Stewart,Stuart Young,Simon Ward,S. Winderlich,Mark Ziembicki +12 more
TL;DR: In contrast to the decline reported for native mammals, the richness and total abundance of birds increased over this period, and far more individual bird species increased than decreased, and the declines of two threatened bird species over thisperiod indicate the need for more management focus for these species.
