Figure Lengend Snippet: Motion‐sensor camera trap images of (a, b) a chuditch ( Dasyurus geoffroii ) hunting a woylie ( Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi ) inside the Dryandra Sanctuary (these images are one second apart and show the chuditch in rapid pursuit of a fleeing woylie; photo credit: DBCA Wheatbelt Region) and examples of PVC pipe feeding stations (with fox cue visible to the right of the entrance shown by yellow arrow) visited by (c) an echidna ( Tachyglossus aculeatus ) and (d) a woylie with her joey.
Article Snippet: To observe how woylies forage in the presence of predator cues, we deployed feeding stations (90° 160 mm PVC storm pipe elbows as described in Harrison, ; Figure ) spaced 200 m apart, where each station was paired with a motion triggered camera trap (Reconyx Hyperfire 2, Swift Enduro; Outdoor Cameras, Australia) constantly recording and programmed to record 30 s videos when triggered.
