A comment on the distribution of historical and contemporary livestock grazing across Australia: implications for using dingoes for biodiversity conservation

Understanding the causes of faunal declines is important for preserving Australia’s threatened fauna. Both predation and livestock grazing have been investigated as potential causes of declines, but some studies struggle to account for historical grazing impacts due to the lack of historical informa...
