Native digging mammals influence soil physiochemistry, thus likely affect soil fungal communities; yet despite their re-establishment in many parts of arid Australia, the influence of digging mammals on soil fungi in reintroduction areas remains largely unknown. We used high-throughput DNA sequencing to characterise the soil fungal community at an arid mammal restoration site (Wild Deserts) and an adjacent area where digging mammals are extirpated, as well as to assess the fungal content of scat from a reintroduced digging mammal, the greater bilby (<i>Macrotis lagotis</i>). We assessed the richness, composition, spatial evenness and abundance of fungal functional guilds in soil samples taken inside and outside the reserve. Additionally, we assessed the composition of fungi and fungal functional guilds in bilby scat samples collected at several timepoints (pre- and post-reintroduction). Approximately 3 years after initial reintroductions, the soil fungal community did not differ in any of the assessed measures between digging mammal-present and –absent areas. In bilby scats, there were significant differences in fungal guilds detected between the sampling periods. Litter-saprotrophic fungus <i>Chlorophyllum</i> was more abundant in bilby scats collected three-years post release at Wild Deserts, compared to those collected pre-release and relatively high abundance of <i>Chlorophyllum</i> in several scats may point to opportunistic consumption of the fungus by bilbies. While we did not observe differences in the soil fungal community inside and outside the restoration area within the study period, the strong overlap between fungal taxa detected in soil samples and post-release scats is consistent with bilbies interacting with fungi in the environment at Wild Deserts.

In northern Australia, feral ungulates are a major driver of wetland degradation, with emerging evidence that buffalo activity threatens freshwater turtle populations. Modelling has identified the normally protective states of aestivation and embryo development in <i>Chelodina rugosa</i> as potential points of vulnerability amid escalating buffalo numbers. This study examined how buffalo alter subsurface conditions relevant to aestivation and nesting by quantifying rooted ground-layer vegetation, thermal regimes, gravimetric soil moisture and trampling in areas exposed to and excluded from buffalo over three habitat types in the Arafura Swamp Indigenous Protected Area. Buffalo presence markedly reduced subsurface habitat quality, increasing temperature and thermal variability, reducing soil moisture and rooted ground-cover vegetation and causing direct trampling of nests. These changes are likely to increase energetic costs during aestivation and reduce embryo survivorship. Such impacts on subsurface microhabitats are expected to intensify under predicted climatic changes and rainfall variability, further constraining the species' capacity to maintain successful aestivation over extended periods and maintain reproductive rates. Our findings highlight the need for targeted buffalo management to protect critical subsurface refugia for <i>C. rugosa</i> in northern Australian wetlands. Additionally, many other fauna rely on subsurface refugia during the dry season, including amphibians, other reptiles and invertebrates such as crustaceans and insects; these buffalo-induced impacts are likely to have much broader ecosystem-level consequences.</p>","PeriodicalId":8663,"journal":{"name":"Austral Ecology","volume":"51 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aec.70300","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current approaches to measuring spatial conservation values for the purposes of recognition and protection remain largely trapped in colonising cartographic methodologies that marginalise Indigenous knowledges and valuing of Indigenous lands (country). One such current approach is simple additive weighted methods which are unable to recognise relational values. We reflect on the use of these methods in the case study of Takayna country, in Trouwerner and Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. The hegemonic IUCN framework for protected areas is yet to be decolonised, allowing the settler state to value Takayna country though white possession of conservation without its Aboriginal values. In recognition of these fundamental deficiencies, we attempt to mitigate the limitations of the simple additive weighted method by including additional values of importance. We weighted the importance of individual heritage attributes by assessing the global concentration of representation of individual values in the region and relating the degree of concentration to recognised criteria for international, national, State and regional significance. Our analysis indicated that much of the region was of global significance on several natural criteria, with the coast and the inland rainforest areas standing out for their high conservation value. Despite our conclusion that Takayna country has internationally significant values that may meet World Heritage criteria iii, v, vi, vii and x, we demonstrate that colonial cartography is unjust and unable to measure, interpret and resolve disputed conservation values of sovereign bodies of country. Alternative approaches that address the past neglect of cultural values and enable strong Indigenous governance, formal recognition of First Peoples, and land return, are crucial for integrating First Peoples' knowledges, caring for country and relationships with country into conservation planning and management, ultimately improving conservation outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":8663,"journal":{"name":"Austral Ecology","volume":"51 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aec.70296","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At replicated sites in Arid Recovery Reserve and Andamooka Pastoral Station, we quantified vegetation and ground-layer structure, sampled assemblages with pitfall traps and active searches, and measured each active lizard's distance to the nearest vegetative refuge.

Dunes were more structurally complex than swales, lizard communities differed significantly between landforms, and abundance was higher on dunes, whereas richness and diversity were broadly comparable.

Quolls were reintroduced to two sites in South Australia: Arid Recovery (AR), an arid cat- and fox-exclusion site comprised of a 12 300-ha fenced safe haven, and Ikara Flinders Ranges National Park (IFRNP), a 93 800-ha semi-arid unfenced conservation reserve where introduced predators were controlled through aerial baiting. We predicted that factors influencing population viability would vary significantly between the two sites due to the differences in release size area and predation risk. Site-specific genetic, mortality, and population size data of quolls were gathered and incorporated into the PVA. At the unfenced site, scenarios with higher carrying capacity and the lower rates of mortality recorded after aerial cat and fox baiting significantly reduced the probability of extinction (PE). Increases in juvenile mortality rate increased PE to a greater extent than the adult mortality rate. Increasing the size of the area under intensive cat and fox control was the management action most likely to result in a viable population through increasing carrying capacity. In comparison, at the fenced AR site, extinction risk was related to the small population size, and, despite higher survival, supplementation of extra individuals was deemed necessary to avoid extinction and inbreeding. Low mortality rates allowed for less frequent supplementation. Population harvesting from IFRNP of 21 individuals for up to 3 years did not significantly increase the risk to this population of inbreeding depression if carrying capacity was increased.

With the aid of selective exclosures, we measured the relative contribution of ants and vertebrates to the removal of seeds of three plant species varying in consumption constraints (toxicity, size). Fire increased removal of small seeds by ants, while decreasing seed removal by vertebrates, regardless of seed palatability. Vertebrates removed more seeds from covered microhabitats, while the opposite happened for ants. Larger seeds were less removed than smaller seeds, irrespective of fire.

We examined the relationship between landscape attributes, specifically complexity, composition and configuration—on the functional diversity, richness and evenness of birds. Field data encompassing avifauna across 30 plots alongside functional traits including body mass, foraging strata and diet of 176 bird species were collected within the study area. Our findings reveal that landscape complexity and configuration shaped overall avifauna functional diversity (FD), with complexity also driving functional richness (FRic) and configuration driving functional evenness (FEve), while landscape composition did not affect these community-level indices. However, composition was significantly linked to specific functional traits, particularly foraging strata (ground, understory and mid-high), whereas complexity was associated with diet-related traits (vertebrate consumption, nectarivory) and body mass; configuration showed no significant relationship with individual traits. Traits such as insectivory and understory use predominated in areas retaining natural cover, whereas terrestrial foraging and granivory were more common in croplands and degraded zones.
