Abstract
Climate change has claimed its first mammal casualty, with the
reported extinction of the Bramble Cay melomys (Melomys
rubicola). The last of these Australian marsupials is thought
to have disappeared around 2009, but the release last week of a report
by the Queensland government stating the probable extinction of the
species and the cause — sea-level rise induced by climate change —
made worldwide news.
