Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how introduced species, specifically red foxes, influence ecological functions like carrion removal along Eastern Australia's beaches, focusing on their interactions with native raptors.
- Researchers expected to find that the presence of foxes would enhance carrion removal, especially when there was a lot of carrion available, due to reduced competition for food.
- Results showed that while scavenger dynamics varied by location and time, overall carrion consumption remained consistent across different areas, suggesting that the presence of red foxes has a neutral effect on ecological function beyond just carrion consumption.
