“…The significant alterations to habitat and floristics associated with P. cinnamomi dieback have been predicted to substantially affect fauna through changes to important resources, such as food and nesting sites (Garkaklis et al, 2004;Wilson et al, 1994). Studies in southern Australia have tended to support these predictions, with declines in species richness and abundance of faunal communities recorded in areas with P. cinnamomi dieback (Armstrong and Nichols, 2000;Laidlaw and Wilson, 2006;Nichols and Bamford, 1985;Nichols and Burrows, 1985;Wilson et al, 1994), primarily due to changes in habitat structure. The negative effects of P. cinnamomi-induced floristic changes on faunal communities are likely to be significant given the wide range of plant species that are susceptible to P. cinnamomi (Garkaklis et al, 2004).…”

“…Similarly, the limited amount of research on the responses of other fauna to Phytophthora indicates that species richness is often reduced in diseased areas e.g. invertebrates (Nichols and Burrows, 1985); reptiles and frogs (Nichols and Bamford, 1985).…”

“…The limited information on the impact of dieback on vertebrates has been reviewed by Nichols and Muir (1989). Nichols and Watkins (1984) and Nichols and Bamford (1985) showed that a site severely affected by dieback had different fauna to a healthy forest site. For example, reptiles characteristic of open areas such as Pogona minor and Cryptoblepharus plagiocephalus were more common, while species requiring litter and shade (e.g., Lerista distinguenda) were less common in the sites severely affected by dieback.…”

“…Alcoa'a fauna research commenced in 1979 to determine what species use rehabilitated minesites, what species are absent, and identifying rare species, either in rehabilitated sites or unmined forest. Early studies recorded presence or absence and included surveys of birds (Nichols and Watkins 1984), mammals (Kabay and Nichols 1980;Cerati 1981), reptiles (Nichols and Bamford 1985), as well as ants (Majer 1980), termites (Bunn 1983), collembola and arachnids. In all of these studies, forest control plots were also established.…”

“…The disappearance of the Gastric Brooding Frog Rheobatrachus silw coincides with logging and gold mining activity upstream of its main habitat (Tyler and Davies 1985). Dam building and flooding lowlands (Plowman 1991), mining activity (Nichols and Bamford 1985) and urbanization (Ferraro and Burgin 1993b) have been cited as factors in reducing frog populations. In these examples, the reductions result not from the destruction of the animals directly but of a vital part of their habitat.…”
