This webinar presents results of a long-running study on the effects resulting from targeted predator management in urban ecosystems. Associate professor Stephen Hartley and PhD student Tamara Encina will examine quantitative data on biodiversity responses across multiple taxonomic groups following predator control interventions. The session will address methodological considerations for urban predator management programs, and evidence-based approaches to predator control that maximize native biodiversity recovery in urban areas.

Stephen Hartley is an ecologist whose research supports the design of biodiverse, connected urban landscapes. He works closely with communities and councils to embed ecological principles into restoration and management of urban green spaces. Tamara Encina studies interactions between introduced mammals and urban predator control with an emphasis on mouse population dynamics and Toxoplasmosis. She is interested in the outcomes of predator-free cities and is passionate about inspiring the next generation of engaged citizens.
