...A. Melzer; C. E. Foelz; R. Melzer ABSTRACT Standardised trapping in the mid- and ground- storey of dry tropical open forest and semi-evergreen vine thicket (SEVT) returned an abundant invertebrate assemblage. Most taxa were ubiquitous or commonly occurring across all sites. Site assemblages were...

...Břeněk Michálek; Petr Šrámek; Elizabeth R. Williams; Vanessa Gorecki ABSTRACT Abandoned mines and other artificial roosts in Brisbane Forest Park (‘BFP’) were investigated between 2007-2009 and 2021-2023 to determine their potential as microbat roosts, particularly relating to the Eastern Horseshoe...

... Falsistrelle and Little Bent-wing Bat) as part of a pilot study for forest monitoring at a landscape-scale. Analyses that accounted for imperfect detection were used to: (1) generate detection probability and initial occupancy estimates for selected priority fauna species, and (2) undertake power analyses...

...Andrew P. Smith; John Pile ABSTRACT This study is the second in a series that examines the habitat requirements and response to logging of koalas ( Phascolarctos cinereus ) inhabiting tall eucalypt forests of north-east NSW. It presents the findings of koala population and habitat monitoring...

... change is essential for the retention of healthy forest ecosystems and biodiversity. Information at the level of detail required for effective conservation management is missing for most Australian birds, including warblers and pardalotes. It is unlikely the data needed for the conservation...

...Michael Graham; Peter Smith; Judy Smith ABSTRACT This study has investigated the status of tree-hollow-forming termites in eucalypt forest in the Upper Blue Mountains, New South Wales, following seven years of extreme weather and mega-fires. Tree hollows are a critical denning and breeding resource...

...Harry F. Recher ABSTRACT Birds were removed after counting numbers along a creek reserve established when old growth eucalypt forest on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales was cleared for pine plantations. Removal ceased after the number of individuals collected exceeded the number estimated...

... and monitoring of bat windows in a grated roost cave in the Pilliga Forest, northern inland New South Wales, Australia Michael J.

...Michael J. Murphy ABSTRACT The Pilliga Forest is one of the largest surviving woodland remnants on the New South Wales western slopes in inland eastern Australia. Collation of personal observations by a resident herpetologist working in the Pilliga Forest over a 12-year period identified 18 frog...

...Harry F. Recher ABSTRACT In Australia’s eucalypt forests and woodlands, co-habiting birds differ in the foraging manoeuvres or methods used to search for and take prey, the substrates and plants on which prey are found, and the heights at which foraging takes place. On the Southern Tablelands...

...C.R. Starr; R.T. Hughes; M.S. Hemmings; J.F. Coase; M. D. Jess ABSTRACT We present the results of field surveys and a radio-tracking study of the Greater glider Petauroides volans minor in the Bluff State Forest, North Queensland.

... and both small predators have become more abundant. Predation drives the snowshoe hare cycle, but it is far from clear that it does so for the small rodents. We suspect that social behaviour is critical for vole cycles, but this supposition has not been tested experimentally. The boreal forests of Canada...

...Bradley S. Law ABSTRACT Long-term research is vital for understanding long-lived, dynamic systems like forests, yet for bats such research is notable for its absence. Recent advances in technology over the last 10–20 years means that long-term studies of bats are viable and can be cost-effective. I...
