Invasive Predator Management Can Mitigate the Impacts of Fire and Low Rainfall for Some Herpetofauna
Kristina J. Macdonald e outros, 2025 · Ecology and Evolution
Lethal invasive fox baiting mitigated the decline in reptile species richness in burnt forest sites during a drought year, yielding a pairwise contrast ratio of 0.67 (SE 0.09).

This result was contributed to by a negative effect of fire within unbaited sites under low rainfall conditions (1.86 ± 0.28, p < 0.001) and a positive effect of baiting within burnt sites under low rainfall conditions (0.67 ± 0.09, p = 0.019; Table S5).
Contexto
What changed: Lethal 1080 fox baiting was conducted fortnightly across public native forest reserves. Comparison: Unbaited versus baited sites in burnt forests under low rainfall conditions. Limits: Natural experiment with 35 sites; rainfall differences were aligned with separate survey years.
