[SR: 5710341], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780643103108], CSIRO Publishing, CSIRO Publishing, Book, [PU: CSIRO Publishing], CSIRO Publishing, The Australian continent provides a unique perspective on the evolution and ecology of carnivorous animals. Since European settlement, Australia has seen the extinction of one large marsupial predator (the thylacine), another (the Tasmanian devil) is in danger of imminent extinction, and still others have suffered dramatic declines. By contrast, two recently-introduced predators, the fox and cat, have been spectacularly successful, with devastating impacts on the Australian fauna.Carnivores of Australia: Past, Present and Future explores Australia’s unique predator communities from prehistoric, historic and current perspectives. It covers mammalian, reptilian and avian carnivores, both native and introduced to Australia. It also examines the debate surrounding how best to manage predators to protect livestock and native biodiversity.By emphasizing Australian carnivores as exemplars of flesh-eaters in other parts of the world, this book will be an important reference for researchers, wildlife managers and students worldw, 8298057011, Plants & Animals, 2081, Nature & Wildlife, 2020, Photography & Video, 1, Arts & Photography, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 13474, Animals, 13476, Apes & Monkeys, 13478, Bears, 16386, Birds & Birdwatching, 13481, Butterflies, 13483, Cats, Lions & Tigers, 13485, Dinosaurs, 13487, Dogs & Wolves, 13489, Fish & Sharks, 13491, Fossils, 13495, Horses, 13497, Insects & Spiders, 13499, Mammals, 14529, Marine Life, 13505, Reptiles & Amphibians, 14531, Seashells, 13509, Wildlife, 13469, Biological Sciences, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 13592, Earth Sciences, 16053161, Atmospheric Sciences, 226695, Cartography, 16053231, Climatology, 13577, Crystallography, 13596, Earthquakes & Volcanoes, 13529, Ecology, 13598, Environmental Science, 226694, Geochemistry, 13602, Geography, 13603, Geology, 13605, Geophysics, 13665, Hydrology, 13615, Mineralogy, 13617, Natural Disasters, 13625, Rivers, 14538, Rocks & Minerals, 13628, Seismology, 14484, Weather, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 290061, Fauna, 14454, Animal Rights, 13478, Bears, 16386, Birds & Birdwatching, 13481, Butterflies, 13483, Cats, Lions & Tigers, 13487, Dogs & Wolves, 13489, Fish & Sharks, 13491, Fossils, 13495, Horses, 13497, Insects & Spiders, 14529, Marine Life, 13505, Reptiles & Amphibians, 14531, Seashells, 13509, Wildlife, 14452, Nature & Ecology, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 491384, Photography, 491374, Visual Arts, 468206, Humanities, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books, 491730, Earth Sciences, 468216, Science & Mathematics, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
