...). The impacts of the sequence of fires in an area can often be understood only from extensive long-term studies. In this paper, we summarize some of the insights into the effects of fire on ecosystems and biodiversity that have emerged from two large-scale, longterm monitoring studies in south-eastern Australia...

Consider the following exchange: Cath Price asked: I was wondering if all of the speakers could provide any tips or strategies for younger researchers coming through as to how we get funding for longterm studies and engagement from government agencies for longterm...

... when species are facing pressure from a changing climate, increasing exposure to novel biota and live within forests susceptible to wildfire which now includes both wet forests and rainforest. In their study of the interacting impacts of drought and fire on bird populations insights from a longterm...

... respond to fire and how at-risk species can be conserved, several recent studies have called for increased investment in longterm monitoring, identification of threats and resources that are used by species in the post-fire environment, and prioritisation of species and critical habitats that are likely...

... 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...

... the Saving our Species program to account for forms of knowledge that may otherwise be ignored by data driven optimisation. This paper focuses on the role of conservation planners in developing and applying decision tools. We present three case studies that deployed tools co-developed for the Saving our...

... windows measuring 150 mm high × 1270–1330 mm wide. Most of the bats, however, continued to use a 200 mm high × 600 mm wide gap between the top of the grate and the irregularly-shaped cave roof, despite this requiring a more circuitous flight path. The study concluded that the addition of bat windows...

...) and genomic studies have found these two groups, which occur in the Perth Canyon (Rennie et al. 2009) and the Bonney Upwelling (Gill et al. 2002; Gill et al. 2011; Garcia-Rojas et al. 2018; McCauley et al. 2018) belong to one population, with negligible evidence of divergence between the two populations...

In 2019, a skeletal atlas of the thylacine was produced based on comprehensive biometric studies of museum specimens (Warburton et al Where are future undocumented thylacine specimens likely to be rediscovered? Due to their age...

...). However, nest boxes can experience more variable and extreme microclimates than natural hollows, which could harm animals that use them. In this study, we tested the thermal performance of candidate nest box designs prior to their deployment for greater gliders ( Petauroides volans ) in forests impacted...

In the study reported here, we used radiotracking coupled with on-the-ground vegetation measurements, to document key aspects of shelter site selection and use by the Southern Brown...

The existing studies assessing the known effects of fire on closed-space bats are limited and with mixed responses often measured at the guild and not species level (InksterDraper et al. 2013; Blakey et al. 2019; Broken-Brow et al. 2019). The Golden-tipped...
