... that culminated in the 2020 Currowan wildfire. The long-term persistence of the Southern Greater Glider and Yellow-bellied Glider in the Jervis Bay area, Corramy RP, Conjola NP, Meroo NP and Murramarang NP is not assured as they may be isolated because of urban developments, clearing for agriculture, private...

... are implicated in a significant decline in L. watsoni . The number of L. watsoni and several other common species of frog observed differed among and within sites over time and illustrate the value of multi-year monitoring to understand the dynamics of population distribution and abundance with long-term...

... radius of the survey site. Supported models revealed that colonisation over time was positively associated with the density of hollow-bearing trees at a site, while extinction was positively associated with the extent of high severity wildfire at a site. Despite wide confidence intervals, the long-term...

...Helen C Stevens; David M Watson ABSTRACT The interacting effects of drought and fire on ecological communities are poorly understood. Long-term studies in the Warrumbungle Mountains, central-west New South Wales, subject to drought and fire during the past 21 years, enabled their separate...

..., including new colonisers, increased, while a third showed little or no change. Despite the value of these data, frequency data are a coarse measure of changes in abundance. To provide baseline data on avian abundances for monitoring long-term trends in numbers, monthly counts along the transect were made...

... condition. A good understanding of these effects comes from long-term studies. In this article we outline some of the key perspectives on the effects of fire on ecosystems and biodiversity from two large-scale, long-term monitoring studies in south-eastern Australia. These are studies in the montane ash...

...R-J Spencer ABSTRACT Freshwater turtle populations are globally threatened by many factors. Complicating matters, their longevity requires long-term monitoring on the scale of decades to assess changes in population size, yet few long-term studies exist. Documenting population estimates and trends...

...A.W. White; S. Travers ABSTRACT The long-term impacts of mining on frog communities have received scant attention in published literature. This study presents a 38-year survey of two sites bordering a sand mine at Bridge Hill in the Myall Lakes National Park, New South Wales (NSW). Mining occurred...

...Daniel Lunney; Chris R. Dickman; Martin Predavec ABSTRACT The 2016 annual forum of the Royal Zoological Society of NSW was entitled: “The critical value of long-term field studies and datasets”. As Charley Krebs and co-authors comment in their paper, if there is one overall limitation on our...

...Daniel Lunney; Brad Purcell; Steve McLeod; Gordon Grigg; Tony Pople; Steve Wolter ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to highlight long-term (four decades) research and monitoring the populations of the four species of large kangaroos in New South Wales (NSW). Kangaroos are counted by aerial surveys...

... over space and time are used to investigate the function and persistence of ecosystems, and how societal actions affect ecosystem attributes. Long-term monitoring is particularly important as it yields insights that are not possible from short-term investigations (e.g. those that span only a few...

... of continuing long-term fire studies in temperate and sub-tropical forest ecosystems, with a focus on terrestrial invertebrates. Longitudinal fire study sites exist in southern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania. Most studies have focussed on fire frequency and have identified...

...Jonathan Majer; Brian Heterick ABSTRACT Continuity of employment can be a great asset when carrying out long-term studies. This paper describes three investigations that have benefited from a researcher's ability to continue monitoring over extended periods, namely: impact of fire; changes...

...Aaron C. Greenville; Vuong Nguyen; Glenda M. Wardle; Chris R. Dickman ABSTRACT Long-term field-based monitoring is essential to develop a deep understanding of how ecosystems function and to identify species at risk of decline. However, conducting long-term field-based research poses some unique...

... Edition: The critical value of long-term field studies and datasets Introduction There have been many reviews of the status of birds in the Sydney area particularly in the Cumberland County (e.g. Hindwood & McGill 1958; Hoskins 1991; Roberts 1993; Keast 1995 and Patrick 2016). There have also been several...

...David Lindenmayer ABSTRACT Long-term ecological research and monitoring is a critical activity that has multiple important values for research, policy and management. Yet long-term studies are not particularly common. A range of factors contributes to this relative rarity and make it hard...
