... A review of descriptions of fauna within the Sydney Basin since the First Settlement is used to illustrate the development of monitoring surveys over the last 200 years. Information about changes in fauna populations came initially from the use of inventories, using presence/absence data...

... As formal reservation targets are attained in Tasmania, a large component of habitats important for populations of threatened fauna will remain in the ‘off-reserve’ landscape. Over eighty percent of Swift Parrot Lathamus discolor foraging habitat occurs on private land, potentially subject...

... The native herpetofauna of Tasmania, though a small part of the rich Australian fauna, is ecologically and biogeographically distinctive. It contains 31 terrestrial species and six marine species. Among the terrestrial fauna nine species (29 per cent of the fauna) are endemic. Only one species...

... This paper gives an account of the development of fauna conservation as a positive requirement of forest management in the State Forests of New South Wales from the 1970s to the present time. Wildlife management was not part of the forestry curriculum in the 1950s and it was assumed...

... Genetic analysis can be a powerful tool in species conservation and management, but it has perhaps not been embraced as wholeheartedly in Australia as in other parts of the world. Its many applications in fauna management include: 1/ Clarification of taxonomic and evolutionary relationships...

... New South Wales, including the small enclave of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), has a diverse bat fauna of 39 taxa (34 microchiropterans and 5 megachiropterans). In NSW, 22 (56%) of chiropteran taxa are listed as threatened, 20 as vulnerable, one as endangered and one extinct under...

..., riparian buffer and habitat tree protection) that are designed to protect key fauna habitat across the landscape. These are augmented by the 2 nd tier, which are specific prescriptions triggered by records of certain species from pre-logging surveys. Bat management at State Forests is also informed...

... Heritage Wilderness. Sydney Harbour alone has a fish fauna of nearly 600 species. Almost all of the free-living vertebrates found in the Region are native to Australia, with fewer than 40 species being introductions to the continent. To a considerable extent, the Region owes the biological richness of its...

... The forests of New South Wales (NSW) contain a diverse fauna of frogs and reptiles (herpetofauna) with approximately 139 species occurring in forests and around 59 species that are forest-dependent. Prior to 1991, this fauna group received scant attention in research or forest management...

... on the responses of rainforest fauna and also discusses key issues of survey design and methodology that, if ignored, may limit the effectiveness of monitoring programs. The nature of rainforest, its history within Australia, and its role as fauna habitat are briefly reviewed. Modern deforestation and human land...

... which are effective surrogates for the entire invertebrate fauna. Such ‘predictor sets’ are proving to be robust tools and have great potential for the monitoring of ecosystem health. The continued involvement of invertebrates in conservation management and monitoring is dependent on the maintenance...
