Irruptive dynamics of invasive carnivores and prey populations, and predator control, affect kea survivorship across the Southern Alps

Joshua R. Kemp et al.

Summary: Invasive carnivores pose a threat to the indigenous fauna of Aotearoa, and their impacts vary depending on time, space, and species. This study focused on the survivorship of kea, a long-lived parrot, and found that kea survivorship was lower in eastern ecosystems compared to western ecosystems. Predation by stoats and feral cats was common, especially in eastern ecosystems. The study also revealed that the predator impacts on kea were concentrated in post-mast years, following a crash in rodent populations in eastern beech forests.

Non-Lethal Dose-Response Models Replace Lethal Bioassays for Predicting the Hazard of Para-Aminopropiophenone to Australian Wildlife

Clive A. Marks et al.

Summary: Para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) is used in Australia for the humane control of red foxes and wild dogs. Instead of using lethal dose bioassays, a non-lethal assay was developed to assess the sensitivity of wildlife species to PAPP, providing more meaningful indications of relative hazard. The study suggests the need for biologically relevant insights to define the toxicological hazards and protect non-target wildlife species.

Monitoring methaemoglobinaemia in birds using 5 μL of whole blood

Clive Marks et al.

Summary: Determining the potential risks of methaemoglobin forming compounds to non-target bird species is a challenge due to limitations on blood samples from small birds. A method was developed to quantify markers of increasing methaemoglobinaemia using only 5 μL of whole blood, which avoids sample degradation issues in avian blood.
