D., Pincebourde, Sylvain, Riddell, Eric A., Roberts, Jessica A., Schouten, Rafael, Sears, Michael W., Kearney, Michael Ray

“…A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future environmental change and to manage these responses. To make such…”

Roughing it: terrain is crucial in identifying novel translocation sites for the vulnerable brush-tailed rock-wallaby ( Petrogale pencillata ) by Morris, Shane D, Johnson, Christopher N, Brook, Barry W

“…Translocations-the movement of species from one place to another-are likely to become more common as conservation attempts to protect small isolated…”

Consider physiology when translocating animals by Morris, Shane D.

“…An endangered turtle population translocated to a higher-latitude (cooler) location grew inadequately. This calls into question the future viability of the…”

Satellite-derived measures of habitat structure perform as well as locally recorded measures in predicting predation on artificial nests in central European agricultural landscapes by Morris, Shane D., Bosseler, Larissa, Selimovic, Aldin, Bieber, Claudia

“…Ground nesting birds have declined throughout Europe, with the reduction of habitat structure in agricultural areas being a key contributing factor. Habitat…”

Modelling of fossil and contemporary data suggest the Broad‐toothed rat (Mastacomys fuscus) currently occupies a small part of its available climatic niche: Implications of paleontological data for conservation of a threatened species by McDowell, Matthew C., Morris, Shane D., Johnson, Christopher N., Martin, Brianna, Brook, Barry W.

“…We use fossil, sub‐fossil and contemporary records of the Broad‐toothed rat, Mastacomys fuscus, to model changes in its range over the last 21 thousand years…”

Seasonal and depth-dependent thermoregulatory benefits of burrows for wombats – The largest burrowing marsupials by Morris, Shane D., Johnson, Christopher N., Brook, Barry W., Kearney, Michael R.

“…Mammals use burrows to behaviourally thermoregulate, save water, and avoid predation. The advantages of burrows vary not only seasonally but also with burrow…”
