“…has therefore been identified as a known or potential threat in no less than 14 national threatened species recovery plans listed by the Australian government (Allen and Leung, 2012). 'Predation and hybridisation by feral dogs (Canis lupus familiaris)' is also a listed Key Threatening Process for 'threatened species, populations, and communities' in the state of New South Wales (see Major, 2009 for the listing, see Corbett, 2001a andStephens, 2011 for the distribution of Canis sub-species in Australia, and see Allen et al, 2011b;Coman and Jones, 2007;Jones, 2009;Corbett, 2001bCorbett, , 2008Claridge and Hunt, 2008; for discussion of taxonomy and functional similarities between free-roaming Australian sub-species of Canis). Dingoes also threaten northern hairy-nosed wombats (Lasiorhinus krefftii Banks et al, 2003;Horsup, 2004), bridled nailtail wallabies (Onychogalea fraenata Augusteyn et al, 2010;Lundie-Jenkins and Lowry, 2005) and a range of other species Coutts-Smith et al, 2007;Newsome et al, 1997;Newsome, 2011) in other areas, where it is predicted that some populations (such as those of koalas Phascolarctos cinereus; Lunney et al, 2007;Mifsud, 2011) will only persist through the control or absence of canid predators, including dingoes.…”
