* "Estimating the size of Indigenous populations in Australia before European colonial invasion is invaluable to truth-telling and reconciliation. Robust estimates of the population dynamics of pre-colonial Indigenous Australians are poor owing to lethal diseases, frontier and structural violence, and absence of systematic censuses.... We warn readers that the content of this study is confronting and possibly distressing." >>

Bandicoots

* Our new research shows humans have maligned bandicoots for decades, making them more vulnerable to extinction

"Tragically, since European colonisation, eight of the 15 existing bandicoot (Peramelidae) species have become threatened or gone extinct. The populations that remain have all declined in numbers due to pressures from invasive predators, such as cats and foxes, as well as habitat destruction. However, humans have also directly contributed to their decline." >>

* As miserable as a bandicoot’: 150 years of human-wildlife conflict with bandicoots in New South Wales, c. 1804–1954

"Our study shows that humans, as predators and persecutors, have negatively impacted bandicoot populations more than previously considered." >>
