How expert insight into alpine peatland conservation complements global scientific evidence

Jessica A. Rowland et al.

Summary: Experts provide valuable information on management effectiveness for threatened ecosystems, such as alpine peatlands, where there is limited evidence. Through a workshop, experts identified interventions and evaluated the relevance of global literature for Australian peatlands. The workshop-based expert elicitation approach provided insights into current management practices.

Robustness of field studies evaluating biodiversity responses to invasive species management in New Zealand

Robert B. Allen et al.

Summary: The benefits of managing invasive species for terrestrial biodiversity in New Zealand are widely acknowledged, but the quality of the evidence supporting this remains uncertain. A study evaluated the design of field-based studies assessing biodiversity responses to invasive species management. It found that attention to experimental design principles, such as robust sampling and avoidance of bias, is lacking in many published articles. The study suggests that improving experimental design is important for producing more reliable results in future field studies.

Cost-effectiveness of volunteer and contract ground-based shooting of sambar deer in Australia

Sebastien Comte et al.

Summary: Introduced sambar deer in south-eastern Australia are being controlled using volunteer and contract ground-based shooters, but little is known about their effectiveness and costs. This study evaluated the effectiveness and costs of both shooter types in controlling sambar deer in and around alpine peatlands in Alpine National Park, Victoria. The catch per unit effort of contract shooters was four times greater than that of volunteer shooters, but the cost per deer killed was slightly higher for contract shooters.

Effectiveness and costs of helicopter-based shooting of deer

Andrew J. Bengsen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness and cost of helicopter-based shooting for deer control in eastern Australia. The results showed that helicopter-based shooting can rapidly reduce deer populations, but the magnitude of reduction depends on the shooting effort and deer density.

Distribution, nature and threats to soils of the Australian Alps: A review

Brian R. Wilson et al.

Summary: The Australian Alps have unique soil types that are not well understood, especially in relation to their role in ecosystems. Soils in higher elevations are crucial for the region's ecology, hydrology, and carbon storage, but there is limited knowledge about their nature, formation, and functioning. Research priorities include understanding the formation, distribution, and function of these soils, particularly in relation to microbial populations and threats such as climate change, grazing, and pollution.

Large herbivores trigger spatiotemporal changes in forest plant diversity

Julien Beguin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of white-tailed deer on the diversity and composition of understorey plant communities in recently logged boreal forests. The results show that deer have significant impacts on plant community composition and successional trajectories, but these impacts vary depending on time and space scales. Deer act as both a direct filter and a suppressor of dominant plant species, but the magnitude of these processes differs between tree and non-tree vegetation layers. The study highlights the importance of long-term research in understanding temporal community trends and challenges managers to consider different community properties and scales when making decisions.

Spatially biased reduction of browsing damage by sika deer through culling

Kei K. Suzuki et al.

Summary: This study verifies the effect of selective culling on reducing browsing damage by considering spatial changes, and finds that the benefits of selective culling extend to the spatial scale of culling.

Rewriting results sections in the language of evidence

Stefanie Muff et al.

Summary: Despite criticism, the black-or-white null-hypothesis significance testing with an arbitrary P-value cutoff remains the standard way to report scientific findings. However, a lack of knowledge about suitable alternatives hampers progress. This study suggests using a language of evidence as a simpler and more intuitive alternative, which allows for a more nuanced approach in communicating scientific findings.

Seasonal and daily activity of non-native sambar deer in and around high-elevation peatlands, south-eastern Australia

Sebastien Comte et al.

Summary: This study reveals the activity patterns and behavior of sambar deer in high-elevation peatlands, as well as the impact of ground-based shooting on their activity. Sambar deer prefer to activity in areas with dense vegetation close to roads, and their activity decreases with increasing snow depth in winter. Ground-based shooting can reduce the activity of sambar deer in high-elevation peatlands and their surrounding areas.
