Population declines of many avian species are often attributed to increased rates of nest
predation in fragmented landscapes, yet mechanisms underlying these effects have rarely …

This paper reviews the reasons why so many species of birds have declined in the eucalypt
woodlands and associated habitats across the agricultural zone of southern Australia. The …

Camera trap** is a relatively new addition to the wildlife survey repertoire in Australia. Its
rapid adoption has been unparalleled in ecological science, but objective evaluation of …

We review the use of clay models to explore questions about predation rates on small
vertebrate taxa that are typically difficult to observe directly. The use of models has a …

Fragmentation of habitat is recognised as the number one threat to biodiversity and as such
has attracted considerable research. However, much of this research has been conducted in …

This study investigated relationships between the composition of bird communities and
remnant and landscape attributes including area, shape, vegetation type and position in the …

Three factors and their interaction effects are increasingly recognized as important
determinants of nest predation: nest concealment, nest height, and predator type. The risk of …

Aim Management practices in the landscape matrix can have significant effects on the
spatial distribution of animals within adjacent protected areas. This has been well …

We quantitatively assessed edge effects associated with elevated abundance of a hyper
aggressive bird species, the noisy miner Manorina melanocephala, in fragmented eucalypt …

This paper provides an historical review of the technological evolution of camera trap** as
a zoological survey tool in Australia. Camera trap** in Australia began in the 1950s when …
