...), but were structurally similar, with trees of similar size forming a dense canopy, and lacking a shrub layer. Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters rely on lerp and honeydew for energy and take arthropods within the colony by gleaning and probing from eucalypts, and opportunistic hawking. Foliage is the most common...

.... The substrates combined are large and small branches, including those with and without loose bark, as branches ; foliage and twigs, along with dead foliage, as foliage ; feeding on eucalypt capsules is described as seed ; and, tree trunks with and without loose bark are combined as trunk . Dead and live...

Manoeuvre/substrate categories combine foraging manoeuvres and substrates; glean and hang/glean foliage, twigs, and eucalypt capsules were combined as glf/ tw ; glean and probe bark as gl/bk , with bark including branches, tree trunks, decorticating and hanging (loose) bark. In analyses, small and large...

... winter (Recher et al. 1983; Figures 5-7). The seasonal patterns of arthropod abundances recorded at Bondi are the same as those reported elsewhere for eucalypt canopy and bark arthropods, with abundances and taxa differing between tree species and over short distances (Majer et al. 2003, 2006; Recher et...

..., and lacking a shrub layer. Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters rely on lerp and honeydew for energy and take arthropods within the colony by gleaning and probing from eucalypts, and opportunistic hawking. Foliage is the most common foraging substrate, but they also probe under bark of live branches and trunks. Yellow...

... trunk and focused on a bait container placed on the ground at a distance of approximately 2 m from the base of the tree trunk. Bait consisted of a mixture of peanut butter and rolled oats flavoured with truffle oil. Survey 2. The second camera-trapping survey was more intensive, undertaken over 6 weeks...

... into the soil at the base of the tree or enter the tree through a bark injury near the base (Greaves 1962, Hadlington and Staunton 2007). A nursery is established in the heartwood in the centre of the tree, from which the colony gradually, over many years, extends through the centre of the trunk, up...

...; secure populations elsewhere in Australia. Epopostruma inornata and E. kangarooensis specialised predators on soft-bodied arthropods, mainly Collembola; may be impacted by drying of leaf-litter, compaction of soil around tree-trunks and loss of suitable prey items.

... of ground-foraging woodland birds with drought in eastern Australia. At Norseman, birds dependent on resources (arthropods, nectar, lerp, honeydew, buds, foliage and flowers, fruit, and seeds) provided by shrubs and trees were probably buffered by the ability of these plants to access moisture deeper...

... habitat clearance. As part of recovery plans aimed toward reintroduction to the wild, both species are part of an intensive captive breeding program being conducted at a number of institutions, including Taronga Zoo, Sydney. These honeyeaters incorporate arthropod silk into their nests, as has been...

... habitat (Shea 2010), and inhabit tree trunks where rock outcrops are sparse (e.g. in the Watagan Mountains; pers. obs). Phyllurus platurus show a preference for crevices that are spacious, but with tight-fitting openings and of even width (Stow 1998). Factors such as crevice orientation and moisture...

... spotters. During clearing operations, a substantial number of individual Chameleon Dragons were encountered amongst the fallen tree debris, typically lying on the trunks of fallen trees or among canopy debris. One larger clearance site in particular revealed a reasonable number of individuals. The site...

... the internal decay within the trunk that makes the older trees suitable habitat for hollow-dependent fauna. Moreover, fires in these younger forests are also likely to be of greater severity than in older stands (Taylor et al. 2014) and rates of tree fall will be faster (Lindenmayer et al. 2018a...
