Studies on the Marsupial Glider, Schoinobates volans (Kerr): III. Response to Habitat Destruction

Nocturnal forest birds and arboreal marsupials of the southwestern slopes, New South Wales

“…This species was most frequently recorded in Woomargama State Forest, however, only two records of the Greater Glider were made throughout Bago and Maragle State Forests, and several others from northern Buccleuch, Green Hills, Munderoo and Bungongo State Forests. The restricted distribution of the Greater Glider and the relatively few records made during this study contrast markedly with the reported abundance of this species in Buccleuch State Forest in the 1960s in forests felled to establish pine plantations (Tyndale-Biscoe andSmith 1969a, 1969b). Also, the Greater Glider was the second most abundant species reported by Bennett et al (1991) The Sugar Glider was commonly recorded in all but the Western forest types at low elevations.…”

Regional habitat selection of large gliding possums at forest stand and landscape scales in southern Queensland, Australia

“…The sensitivity of greater gliders to intensive logging regimes used in south-east Australia has been well documented (Tyndale-Biscoe and Smith, 1969;Recher et al, 1980;Lunney, 1987;Lindenmayer et al, 1990;Milledge et al, 1991;Kavanagh and Bamkin, 1995;Goldingay and Daly, 1997;Kavanagh and Webb, 1998;Kavanagh, 2000;Kavanagh and Wheeler, 2004). Greater gliders appear to withstand less intensive logging regimes in New South Wales Kavanagh, 2000).…”

Interactions between timber harvesting and swamp wallabies (Wallabia bicolor): Space use, density and browsing impact

“…Past research on harvesting impacts in these forests have focused on arboreal mammals (Tyndale-Biscoe and Smith, 1969;Lindenmayer et al, 1991;Gibbons and Lindenmayer, 1996;Lindenmayer and Franklin, 1997;Kavanagh, 2000), and little information on ground dwelling species is available. In addition, swamp wallabies contribute to locally severe browsing damage (Sebire, 2001) and appear to favour 1-2 year old densely regenerating areas over surrounding unharvested forest .…”
