Abstract: Abstract Wombats are native herbivorous grazers that have adapted to Australia's low‐quality forage. Studies on diet selection by bare‐nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) are limited and are either observational or based on microhistological studies. The current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-020-07012-8
Abstract: Wombats suffer from sarcoptic mange, a mite infection that ultimately leads to their death from secondary infections. In 2017, wildlife carers were granted legal approval to treat bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) for sarcoptic mange in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04959-y
Abstract: Resource competition is an important interaction that can structure ecological communities, but is difficult to demonstrate in nature, and rarely demonstrated for large mammals including marsupials. We analysed 10 years of population survey data to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2021.08.003
Abstract: Some of the most important pathogens affecting wildlife are transmitted indirectly via the environment. Yet the environmental stages of pathogens are often poorly understood, relative to infection in the host, making this an important research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyae017
Abstract: Abstract Dispersal is an important process that is widely studied across species, and it can be influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors commonly assessed include the sex and age of individuals, while landscape… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jzo.70068
Abstract: An understanding of mechanisms by which non‐territorial solitary mammalian species receive, produce, and respond to communication signals has remained limited, particularly for marsupials. The bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus) represents a potentially tractable marsupial system to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/tbed/6264097
Abstract: Sarcoptic mange is a significant welfare and conservation issue in a diverse range of mammalian species, wombats being some of the most impacted. Cases have been observed in bare-nosed (Vombatus ursinus) and southern hairy-nosed (Lasiorhinus… read more here.
