Australian Mammals at Greatest Risk from Cats and Foxes

A new research led by the Threatened Species Recovery Hub has revealed which Australian mammals are most vulnerable to cats and foxes, and many much-loved potoroos, bandicoots, and bettongs, as well as native rodents, are at the top of the list.

Jim Radford from La Trobe University led a team of over 20 scientists and conservation managers on a study to categorize every Australian land mammal for their susceptibility to predation by feral cats and red foxes. Dr Radford said cats and foxes have already played a leading role in at least 25 mammal extinctions and this study would help prevent more.

Volcanoes and Glaciers Combine as Powerful Methane Producers

Large amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane are being released from an Icelandic glacier, scientists have discovered. A study of Solheimajokull glacier, which flows from the active, ice-covered volcano Katla, shows that up to 41 tonnes of methane is being released through meltwaters every day during the summer months. This is roughly equivalent to the methane produced by more than 136,000 belching cattle.

The Lancaster university-led research, which is featured in Scientific Reports, is the first published field study to show methane release from glaciers on this scale.
