Funded Activity Summary
Does coevolution or ecological context determine predator-prey coexistence? This project aims to deliver the first robust evaluation of the evolutionary and ecological conditions that combine to enable introduced predators to drive extinctions of native mammals. The project will bring together disciplines of invasion biology and trophic cascades to model predator-prey systems in the presence and absence of apex predators. This globally unique study will provide an informed and transparent toolset for preventing decline of threatened species and will enhance Australian conservation policy by untangling contrasting perspectives of introduced predators and the conditions that lead to native species extinction.Funded Activity Details
