Urban Development Impacting Forest Mammals
Australia's increasing population means that the demand for housing is accelerating. As more houses are being built there is growing concern for the conservation of biodiversity.
​
Research has been conducted on how housing impacts on four species of forest- dwelling mammals. One of these includes the Australian yellow-bellied glider. This case study helps us understand how some species may respond to different types of urban development.
Reptile movement in Agricultural Landscapes
Agriculture is a growing industry in Australia. Unfortunately this industry requires large areas of land.
​
This research is focused on gecko's that live in trees. Land clearing for agriculture effects the survival of gecko's. How can pastures and crops be managed so that gecko's can still move through the land?
