Dingoes remain top predator despite control measures

The culling of dingoes in Australia to protect livestock does not open the way for other predators to take their place, new research finds. Dingoes and red foxes are temporarily suppressed, while feral cats and goannas are not affected, which suggests that careful planning of culls, around calving time to save livestock from attacks, should not in the long-term harm of other animals in the ecosystem.
