Climate‐mediated habitat selection in an arboreal folivore
Mathew S. Crowther,Daniel Lunney,John Lemon,Eleanor Stalenberg,Robert Wheeler,George Madani,Karen A. Ross,Murray V. Ellis +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that koalas need taller trees, and non-feed species with shadier/denser foliage, to provide shelter from heat, which highlights the need both for the retention of taller, mature trees, such as remnant paddock Trees, and the planting of both food and shelter trees to increase habitat area and connectivity across the landscape for arboreal species.
Book ChapterDOI
Koalas and climate change: a case study on the Liverpool Plains, north-west New South Wales
Daniel Lunney,Crowther,Ian R. Wallis,William J. Foley,John Lemon,Rob Wheeler,George Madani,Corinna Orscheg,Joanna E. Griffith,Mark B. Krockenberger,Melissa Retamales,Eleanor Stalenberg +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a field study in Gunnedah, in north-west NSW, examined a 1990s success story where the local koala population benefited from the plantings of trees and shrubs to hold down the water table in the face of a rising salinity crisis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia and nasal colonization in a free-ranging koala population
Laura J Schmertmann,Alex Kan,Valentina S. A. Mella,Cristina M. Fernandez,Mathew S. Crowther,George Madani,Richard Malik,Wieland Meyer,Mark B. Krockenberger +8 more
TL;DR: Characterizing cryptococcosis in a free-ranging koala population, expands the ecological niche of the C. gattii/C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of three methods of estimating the population size of an arboreal mammal in a fragmented rural landscape
Mathew S. Crowther,Jessica R. Dargan,George Madani,Adrian I. Rus,Mark B. Krockenberger,Clare McArthur,Ben D. Moore,Daniel Lunney,Valentina S. A. Mella +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared distance sampling, mark-recapture analysis, and home-range overlap analysis for estimating the number of animals in a population of the threatened species Phascolarctos cinereus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are koalas detected more effectively by systematic spotlighting or diurnal searches
TL;DR: In this study, Spotlighting was found to be 3.25 times more effective at detecting koalas than day searches, and where access and terrain allows, spotlighting surveys offer a significant advantage over diurnal searches in the detection of Koalas.
