Sharks have a very frightening role in our cultural history, but Australians don’t find them as frightening as jellyfish or drowning, according to new research from the University of South Australia.

The dingo fence from space: satellite images show how these top predators alter the desert

As one of the longest structures in the world, the dingo fence is an icon of Australia. It stretches more than 5,600 kilometres across three states, including 150 kilometres that traverses the red sand dunes of the Strzelecki Desert. Since it was established in the early 20th century, the fence has had one job: to keep dingoes out. The effect of this on the environment has been enormous in fact, you can see it from outer space. Our research has, for the first time, used satellite imagery to show the effects of predators on vegetation at a vast scale. Dingoes eat kangaroos, and kangaroos eat grass. So on the side of the fence where dingoes are rare, there are more kangaroos, and less grass cover between sand dunes. This has important flow-on effects for the ecosystem in the region.
