7 Feb 2024 New paper! Managing northern quoll populations

Brenton has led a new research paper on managing populations of the endangered norther quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus). The paper, ‘Conservation prioritisation of genomic diversity to inform management of a declining mammal species’, was published in Biological Conservation.

In a nutshell: Declining populations of northern quolls will lose genetic diversity through time. If we strategically conserve at least eight populations across Australia, we can prevent the loss of > 90 % of that diversity.
