Journal ArticleDOI
Fire management for biodiversity conservation: Key research questions and our capacity to answer them
Don A. Driscoll,David B. Lindenmayer,Andrew F. Bennett,Michael Bode,Ross A. Bradstock,Geoffrey J. Cary,Mike Clarke,Nick Dexter,Rod Fensham,Gordon Friend,Malcolm Gill,Stewart James,Geoff Kay,David A. Keith,Christopher MacGregor,Jeremy Russell-Smith,David E. Salt,James E. M. Watson,Richard J. Williams,Alan York +19 more
TL;DR: A research agenda is defined to maximise the rate of learning in this difficult field of fire management, including measuring responses at a species level, building capacity to implement natural experiments, undertaking simulation modelling, and judicious application of experimental approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel ecosystems resulting from landscape transformation create dilemmas for modern conservation practice
David B. Lindenmayer,Joern Fischer,Adam Felton,Mason Crane,Damian Michael,Christopher MacGregor,Rebecca Montague-Drake,Adrian D. Manning,Richard J. Hobbs +8 more
TL;DR: Bird community composition changed through time resulting in a unique blend of tall closed forest and open-woodland birds that previously did not occur in the study area, nor in the region'stall closed forest or open- woodland biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reptile and arboreal marsupial response to replanted vegetation in agricultural landscapes.
TL;DR: It is concluded that, although plantings may improve habitat conditions for some taxa, they may not effectively offset the negative effects of native vegetation clearing for all species, especially those reliant on old-growth woodland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are nest boxes a viable alternative source of cavities for hollow-dependent animals? Long-term monitoring of nest box occupancy, pest use and attrition
David B. Lindenmayer,Alan H. Welsh,Christine Donnelly,Mason Crane,Damian Michael,Christopher MacGregor,Lachlan McBurney,Rebecca Montague-Drake,Philip Gibbons +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that it is important to carefully target the locations where nest boxes should be established, but these same places are also those where most effort is required to maintain them, either by removing pest invertebrates and/or by re-attaching them to trees after they have fallen down.
Journal ArticleDOI
How predictable are reptile responses to wildfire
David B. Lindenmayer,Jeffrey Wood,Christopher MacGregor,Damian Michael,Ross B. Cunningham,Mason Crane,Rebecca Montague-Drake,Darren Brown,Rachel Muntz,Don A. Driscoll +9 more
TL;DR: It was found that most reptile species responses were much more strongly linked to vegetation type than fire variables, emphasizing a need to understand relationships with vegetation before being able to understand possible fire effects (if and where they exist).
