This project aims to deliver the first robust evaluation of the evolutionary and ecological conditions that combine to enable introduced predators to drive extinctions of native mammals. The project will bring together disciplines of invasion biology and trophic cascades to model predator-prey systems in the presence and absence of apex predators. This globally unique study will provide an informed and transparent toolset for preventing decline of threatened species and will enhance Australian conservation policy by untangling contrasting perspectives of introduced predators and the conditions that lead to native species extinction.

该项目旨在对进化和生态条件进行第一次有力的评估，这些条件结合联合收割机，使引入的捕食者能够驱动本地哺乳动物的灭绝。该项目将汇集入侵生物学和营养级联的学科，在存在和不存在顶端捕食者的情况下模拟捕食者-被捕食者系统。这项全球独一无二的研究将提供一个知情和透明的工具集，以防止受威胁物种的下降，并将通过解开引入捕食者的对比观点和导致本土物种灭绝的条件来加强澳大利亚的保护政策。
