Abstract | Introduced predators have been implicated in the extinction or range reduction of many Australian species, potentially due to native wildlife exhibiting prey naivety. We used traps with predator faeces present, monitored by camera traps, to determine if Australian mammals responded to native and introduced predator faeces. The presence of either faeces did not influence the trap or camera captures of any species. |
