Eastern Barred Bandicoot (EBB) numbers are declining, but we aren't too sure why. In this episode I speak with Bridgette Barnden and Joanna Lyall, who are both studying the EBB to see if they can figure out how they use the landscape and what is affecting their populations. We discuss how important the EBBs are as ecosystem engineers, what bait they prefer and how to use seeds to determine how scared they are! Another 2 part episode, because there is so much to learn about these little diggers.

Things to check out from this episode:

• Ecosystem engineers


• Habitat fragmentation


• Bush revegetation


• Breeding programs

Episode transcript: coming soon.
