... Resource partitioning enables closely-related, morphologically similar species to coexist. We investigated resource partitioning by two closely-related insectivorous bats, the Eastern Freetail Bat Mormopterus sp. 2 and Southern Freetail Bat Mormopterus sp. 4, within the zone of sympatry...

..., as “flying monitors” of the changes to forest resources, by fitting them with GPS-logger collars. To allow us to economically track multiple animals with high spatial and temporal resolution, we have developed a solar-powered GPS-based logger, that following further size reduction small enough can be carried...

... these measures are important, they may not provide the full range of resources required by the eucalypt forest avifauna. In addition to using tree hollows as nest sites, forest birds have specific requirements for nesting materials (e.g., spider web, lichen), for nest sites other than tree hollows, for foraging...

... The resource potential of most molluscs is likely to be underestimated . One mollusc, Dicathais orbita, produces a number of potential resources, including pharmaceuticals and materials, from both the adults and egg masses. The value of natural resources can change over time and one resource...

... Forest wildlife management in Australian eucalypt forests emphasizes the retention of tree hollows for fauna requiring hollows for nesting or denning. This overlooks the requirements of birds in eucalypt forests for a variety of resources for nesting and foraging other than tree hollows. Some...

... Dry rainforest occurs throughout the wet-dry tropics as isolated patches in a matrix of savanna woodland. Dry rainforests may provide important stepping stones for migrating forest birds, resources for woodland birds, and a significant component of bird diversity in arid inland landscapes. Dry...

... or may not lead to its recovery, and this factor should be carefully taken into account in the process of funding natural resource management actions. Recent experience in NSW (1995-2003) has provided examples of the application of a comprehensive Threatened Species Conservation Act, and its effect...

... of resources, as well as applying findings from the fossil and historical records to identify species of concern. The lack of knowledge about the distribution of Australia’s forests has been partly filled by the Resource Assessment Commission’s Forest and Timber Inquiry, which this chapter reviews critically...

... The Action Plan for Australian frogs was hampered by grossly inadequate information on populations, and problems created by the criteria for recognizing species under threat. Only by the devotion of substantial resources can the plight of Australian frogs be recognized and resolved. ...

... This chapter reviews recent developments in the economics of the environment with special reference to forest fauna. While economics can make a substantial contribution to broad land-use decisions, it is less useful in day-to-day management decisions. Efficient allocation of resources...

..., recent developments and proposes a set of critical questions for each of eight sequential framework components. Use of the framework will help ensure that invertebrate data and the recommendations that result from the analysis of those data are useful for conservation planning and resource management...

.... Even these suggestions are far from revolutionary. A real revolution in nature conservation requires a change in national priorities from ones of increasing economic growth, resource consumption and population growth to becoming an ecologically sustainable society. Achieving ecological sustainability...
