AbstractNutrient enrichment typically causes local plant diversity declines. A common but untested expectation is that nutrient enrichment also reduces variation in nutrient conditions among localities and selects for a smaller pool of species, causing greater diversity declines at larger than local scales and thus biotic homogenization.

Australia is home to some of the most spectacular and enigmatic wildlife on Earth. Much of it, however, is being eaten by two incredibly damaging invasive predators: the feral cat and the red fox. Each year in Australia, cats and foxes kill an estimated 697 million reptiles, 510 million birds, and 1.4 billion mammals, totalling a staggering 2.6 billion animals.

The lagged effects of this flow to local petrol bowsers and on to many parts of the economy provided a disinflationary pulse that hit official inflation data. Markets have extrapolated the lower annualised inflation, but goods inflation needs to continue to fall, and services inflation to ease materially to justify this extrapolation (or unemployment needs to shift swiftly higher.)The significant population growth and shortage of housing supply mean rents will have an upward bias to the CPI.

Another reason to buy bonds is typically their safe-have status. The timing of shock events and magnitude are rarely predictable, but the news flow in March provided another example of why insurance like elements of duration is so important for a portfolio. Despite inflation still above 6 per cent, investors went diving for safe haven assets, as first US regional lender Silicon Valley Bank and then Credit Suisse collapsed.
