DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02010-9
Abstract: Despite substantial investment in prescribed burning for biodiversity conservation there has been surprisingly little demonstration of its efficacy in achieving intended conservation aims for fauna. In the case of northern Australia’s threatened mammal fauna, most… read more here.

Satellite-derived changes in floodplain productivity and freshwater habitats in northern Australia (1991–2019)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecological Indicators"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106320
Abstract: Abstract The ecological communities supported by freshwater habitats and wetlands that persist from floodplain inundation generate numerous cultural, recreational and economic values via commercial fisheries and other human uses of these habitats. However, the alteration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.idcr.2020.e00833
Abstract: We report the case of a 61-year-old man from northern Australia with concurrent community-onset Acinetobacter baumannii complex and Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteremia presenting as severe tropical pneumonia requiring intensive care unit support. The pneumonia was complicated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2017.12.002
Abstract: Very little is known about the diversity, prevalence, or pathogenicity of haematozoa in Australian freshwater fishes. Blood smears from 189 native catfishes, of six different species, from northern Australia were examined for haematozoa. Haematozoan infections… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97762-x
Abstract: Compound climate extremes (CCEs) can have significant and persistent environmental impacts on ecosystems. However, knowledge of the occurrence of CCEs beyond the past ~ 50 years, and hence their ecological impacts, is limited. Here, we place the… read more here.
