... Strips of retained forest are used to aid fauna conservation in State Forests in several mainland states. Their use has often been justified in terms of maintenance of animal movement and they are thus referred to as wildlife corridors. I argue that it is unlikely that strips of retained forest...

... in capturing foraging habitat. Although the prescribed clumps of trees were retained in all operation areas, and all clumps included some Eucalyptus globulus , only 16 percent of clumps surveyed contained the prescribed number of prime foraging trees (2-3 mature E. globulus ). In part, this was thought...

... species disappear rapidly from bushland areas with only minor disturbance, and listings based on records over the past 50 years often underestimate historical faunal diversity. Only large bushland reserves appear to retain the majority of species. Only a small number of skink species are typically...

..., incubation of eggs and fledging of young into account, waterbirds need 5 to 10 months inundation under nest trees to complete breeding. Most Darters, cormorants, herons, egrets, Australian White Ibis and spoonbills nested at wetlands which retained water permanently in their deeper, open areas. In contrast...

... used bat activity as a measure of the use of riparian and up-slope zones along headwater streams by bats, and to determine whether past timber harvesting influenced the use of these areas by bats by comparing regrowth with no retained riparian buffers and mature forest. This study found no significant...

... Four issues influencing the management of hollow-dependent bats are examined for the Pilliga forests of inland NSW. These are: 1) the longevity of eucalypts and implications for the strategies for retaining hollow trees; 2) the condition of the forests and woodlands of the Pilliga at the time...

In forests subject to logging, buffers are normally retained along stream-beds to maintain water quality and protect riparian vegetation and its associated fauna. We sampled bat activity as part of a broader program to assess biodiversity...
