... A review is provided of research concerning forest wildlife and habitat management in southwestem Australia. We divide the research into biogeography, fauna and disturbance ecology. Many community studies have been earned out in the Darling Botanical District but no attempt has yet been made...

..., whereas numbers of Brown Antechinus Antechinus stuartii were associated most consistently with tree hollows and then numbers of logs and coexisting Bush Rats Rattus fuscipes . Rats were not associated consistently with any single habitat components, but generally favoured sites of high vegetation density...

... The conservation of biological diversity is a foundation of ecologically sustainable management. To assess sustainability with regard to biodiversity conservation, forest managers are using forest type as a surrogate for ecosystem and species diversity. This paper investigates the applicability...

... of species can be generated, irrespective of land tenure. Without knowledge of the status of faunal habitat on all forested lands, the ability of managers to implement coherent conservation strategies generally will be limited. ...

... The spatial distribution of suitable habitat for animal taxa has been a major topic of ecological research. Information on the spatial distribution of habitat and its temporal variability provides a basis, both theoretically and practically, for habitat management. As a result, the use...

... process for bats. Research and habitat management are the dominant themes in recovery actions for bats. Research actions comprise 163 (45%) of the 361 actions, and the 89 habitat management actions comprise 25% of all bat recovery actions. The primary message from the PAS process is that it has been...

... of fire on the wide range of hypogeous fungi eaten by mammals. Evidence of a ‘co-evolutionary relationship’, as some authors have implied, is also ambiguous. We are concerned that some land management agencies, which use prescribed fire for hazard reduction or silvicultural purposes, selectively use...

... The effective management of the Grey-headed Flying-fox Pteropus poliocephalus as a threatened species in NSW will depend on our ability to develop and implement policies that focus on habitat conservation and enhancement. The aim is to preserve a continuous food supply for the species...

... and see that its future existence is inextricably part of our existence. Marine environments are different to those on land and need different management strategies. The major lesson is that we need to move from species conservation to a workable system of threatened habitat and ecosystem process...

... The management and conservation of birds in eucalypt forests managed for timber production has emphasized the retention of trees with hollows (habitat trees) and the reservation of old-growth forest in reserves and corridors for species requiring mature forest or hollows for nesting. Although...

..., 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...

... to promote breeding. Nine percent needed specific management activities, such as predator control, if their populations were not to become extinct. Modelling of the habitat requirements and movement abilities for the native vegetation dependent species predicted that there have been widespread reductions...

... Museum collections are largely untapped sources of key information for the conservation of invertebrate biodiversity but in many cases these data are not readily available to land managers. Meanwhile significant faunal habitats containing much of Australia’s terrestrial invertebrate biodiversity...

... waste management practices and the community's “need to feed” friendly birds. Ibis have established viable colonies in urban areas with population numbers in the thousands. The Australian White Ibis Threskiornis molucca population in metropolitan Sydney has increased considerably over the past 15...

... of long-term subtle changes to the habitat resulting from present land management practices and the identification of faunal refuge s or “hot spots” require attention; and for mangroves the need for basic information on the faunal communities is paramount. ...
