TLDR
In this paper, the authors quantified empirical relationships between the diameter of hollow-bearing trees and probability of occupancy of these trees by cavity-dependent arboreal marsupials in the Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria, south-eastern Australia.About:

Hidden collapse is driven by fire and logging in a socioecological forest ecosystem.
TL;DR: The process of collapse in the iconic Australian Mountain Ash ecosystem is described and empirical evidence for hidden collapse is uncovered, which occurs when an ecosystem superficially appears to be intact but a prolonged period of decline coupled with long lag times for recovery mean that collapse is almost inevitable.

Key perspectives on early successional forests subject to stand-replacing disturbances
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on 36 years of long-term research in the Mountain Ash and Alpine Ash (Eucalyptus delegatensis) forests of south-eastern Australia, together with examples from elsewhere around the world, to show that not all kinds of early successional forests are created equal.

Integrating forest biodiversity conservation and restoration ecology principles to recover natural forest ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present four general principles to guide strategies aimed at meeting these challenges: (1) protect and restore populations of key species and their habitats, (2) conserve and restore key attributes of stand structural complexity, (3) maintain and restore natural patterns of landscape heterogeneity, and (4) maintaining and restoring key ecological processes.

Empirical relationships between tree fall and landscape-level amounts of logging and fire.
David B. Lindenmayer,Wade Blanchard,David Blair,David Blair,Lachlan McBurney,Lachlan McBurney,John Stein,Sam C. Banks +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that efforts to reduce the probability of collapse of large old hollow-bearing trees on unlogged sites will demand careful landscape planning to limit the amount of timber harvesting in the surrounding landscape.

brms: An R Package for Bayesian Multilevel Models Using Stan
TL;DR: The brms package implements Bayesian multilevel models in R using the probabilistic programming language Stan, allowing users to fit linear, robust linear, binomial, Poisson, survival, ordinal, zero-inflated, hurdle, and even non-linear models all in a multileVEL context.

TL;DR: Bayesian inference with Markov Chain Monte Carlo with coda package for R contains a set of functions designed to help the user answer questions about how many samples are required to accurately estimate posterior quantities of interest.

Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures

TL;DR: It is shown that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or fragmentation, and possible effects may also vary relative to the structural variable measured.

Tree Hollows and Wildlife Conservation in Australia
TL;DR: This work is an account of the dependent fauna of Australia, and introduces a considerable amount of new data on development of hollows, selection by fauna, pests and introduced species, and artificial hollows.
