Births mark conservation success for rare Queensland wombat
Three wild-born northern hairy-nosed wombats born in Powrunna State Forest mark a new chapter in the species' recovery from near extinction.

New paper! We use non-invasive genetic sampling (poo swabs + SNP typing) and spatially-explicit capture-recapture modelling to estimate deer density before and after control to quantify how effective the programs were.

Quantifying deer control efficiency using non-invasive genetic sampling and spatial capture–recapture
Context Sambar deer (Rusa unicolor) are the most numerous of the six species of introduced deer in Australia. They cause significant environmental damage and pose a considerable biosecurity threat to ...
