Abstract: Brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) are becoming increasingly recognized as key members of local scavenger guilds in Australia. Yet, our understanding of the spatiotemporal scavenging dynamics of this mainly herbivorous marsupial species remains limited.

Using camera traps set on experimentally placed kangaroo carcasses, we first examined the influence of both open and closed c… Show more
