Plants contain a variety of chemical defenses that strongly affect feeding rates in captive
mammals, but their effects on the fitness of wild herbivores are largely unknown. This is …

Attaching electronic devices to wild animals to acquire behavioural data is becoming
increasingly more widespread. Birds and mammals are the most common taxa …

Tree cavities are an important shelter site for a variety of vertebrate species, including birds,
reptiles and mammals. Studies indicate that in most taxa favoured tree hollows are those in …

The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) has readily adapted to the
expanding urban settings of its native Australian environment. This has lead to conflict with …

The present study investigated the effects of slow-release implants containing the
gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist deslorelin on reproduction in the …

Tree cavities are important denning sites for many arboreal mammals. Knowledge of cavity
requirements of individual species, as well as potential den overlap among species, is …

Abstract In Australia, brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) are declining in natural
habitats but have adapted to urban environments so readily that some human residents …

Urban environments support high concentrations of humans, domestic pets and introduced
animals, creating conditions conducive to the transmission of parasites. This study …

Alterations in transmission of vector-borne zoonoses are often linked to environmental
change. However, ecological processes that determine variability in potential for …

The brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is in decline throughout much of its natural
range with the notable exception of urban areas and a few islands. In some urban areas, its …
