The case for a dingo reintroduction in Australia remains strong: a reply to Morgan et al., 2016

In their paper “Trophic cascades and dingoes in Australia: does the Yellowstone wolf-elk-willow model apply?” Morgan et al. (2016) argue that the case for dingo reintroduction in Australia, based on trophic cascade theory, is “weak”. They conclude that, “because of climate instability, the strong top-down trophic responses reported from the Yellowstone National Park case study are unlikely to apply in arid and semi-arid south-eastern Australia and are speculative at best”.
