When humans have conflicts with wildlife, the first reaction is often to cull them. But there’s little evidence to show that it works, and removing predators can even backfire and make things worse.
Effective conservation of migratory songbirds requires an understanding of how populations are connected between seasons. The challenge is being able to track individuals throughout the entire year.
Dingoes increase cattle yields, mountain lions reduce car crashes and vultures eat organic waste: like them or not, predators help humans.
From falcons that hunt by the light of skyscrapers, to bears that sit in wait at weirs, animals are using human structures to help them catch a meal.
Beneath their beautiful, flashing facade some female fireflies are ruthless predators.
Meet the brawny bug with a concoction so caustic it’ll make a toad vomit.
Interactions between sharks and humans happen in a variety of places. That means reducing conflict needs different interventions.
Fatal shark bites are very rare. But the stats do suggest that the likelihood of an attack proving fatal is higher in Australia - probably because our waters are home to the “big three” dangerous species.
A new study suggests the benefits of a boost to marine plant growth from increased carbon dioxide will be cancelled out by the increased stress to fish species.
It sounds weird, but releasing small cane toads ahead of the main invasion front can help predators learn to avoid the biggest, most toxic ones. Here’s exactly how it works.
Wild dog attacks on livestock are devastating, but bounties and culling aren’t the answer.
Cats, rats, foxes and other mammal predators have been implicated in 60% of the world’s animals extinctions.
Ongoing drought means increased encounters between people and lions in north-west Namibia.
Dingoes are being used to kill feral goats in Queensland, but is this just another form of cruelty?
Do you know your parasites from your gut commensals? Read this and you will.
Carnivorous predators play an important, and until now unknown, role in preserving plant populations in the territories they inhabit.
Forget fences and international agreements. This five-year study in the Serengeti has found the way forward.
Kudu and buffalo altered their activity when lions and spotted hyena were reintroduced into the areas where these species lived.
Puff adders have developed impressive techniques to avoid being detected by predators.
