Owl Pellet Content Analysis Proves an Effective Technique to Monitor a Population of Threatened Julia Creek Dunnarts (Sminthopsis douglasi) Throughout a Native Rodent Plague by Cameron L. Charley, Emma L. Gray, Andrew M. Baker

“…Cumulative probability of detection indicated that analysis of owl pellets was highly effective at detecting S. douglasi (within 20 pellets) despite the ongoing rodent plague, which has undermined the effectiveness of parallel live trapping efforts across the region. Owl pellet analysis is thus an effective methodology for rapidly assessing S. douglasi populations and should be incorporated into both S. douglasi and other small mammal species monitoring regimes.…”
