The big ecological questions inhibiting effective (2009)
Moreton, SR, Hoegh-Guldberg, O, Lindenmayer, DB, Harriss Olson, M, Hughes, L, McCulloch, MT, ...
The need to improve environmental management in Australia is urgent because human health,well-being and social stability all depend ultimately on maintenance of life-supporting ecological...
Biological legacies soften pine plantation effects for bryophytes (2009)
Biological legacies are organic structures and patterns remaining after a disturbance that may contribute to the complexity of the recovering vegetation. Legacies may, in turn, reduce the impacts of...
Banks, SC, Finlayson, GR, Lawson, SJ, Lindenmayer, DB, Paetkau, D, Ward, SJ, ...
We conducted a demographic and genetic study to investigate the effects of fragmentation due to the establishment of an exotic softwood plantation on populations of a small marsupial carnivore, the...
The effects of large-scale fragmentation on bryophytes in temperate forests (2004)
Pharo, EJ, Lindenmayer, DB, Taws, N
1. Bryophyte response to landscape fragmentation has not been investigated in replicated studies in temperate forests. Many bryophytes disperse widely, but have narrow habitat requirements suggesting...

McCarthy, MA, Lindenmayer, DB, Possingham, HP
Population viability analysis (PVA) and other stochastic population models are frequently built and often used, but rarely tested. Stochastic metapopulation models of the White-throated Treecreeper...

Modelling dispersal behaviour on a fractal landscape (1999)
Tyre, AJ, Possingham, HP, Lindenmayer, DB
We use a spatially explicit population model to explore the population consequences of different habitat selection mechanisms on landscapes with fractal variation in habitat quality. We consider...
A tree hollow dynamics simulation model (1999)
Ball, IR, Lindenmayer, DB, Possingham, HP
This paper describes a deterministic computer model for simulating forest dynamics. The model predicts the long-term dynamics of hollow-bearing trees which occur in a single-species (monotypic)...

Testing spatial PVA models of Australian treecreepers (Aves : Climacteridae) in fragmented forest
McCarthy, MA, Lindenmayer, DB, Possingham, HP
Population viability analysis (PVA) and other stochastic population models are frequently built and often used, but rarely tested. Stochastic metapopulation models of the White-throated Treecreeper...
Assessing spatial PVA models of arboreal marsupials using significance tests and Bayesian statistics
McCarthy, MA, Lindenmayer, DB, Possingham, HP
The predictions of stochastic metapopulation models of four species of arboreal marsupial were compared to field data on patch occupancy. The species examined were the greater glider Petauroides...
Lindenmayer, DB, Ball, I, Possingham, HP, McCarthy, MA, Pope, ML
1. Although population viability analysis (PVA) is widely employed, forecasts from PVA models are rarely tested. This study in a fragmented forest in southern Australia contrasted field data on patch...
Lindenmayer, DB, McCarthy, MA, Possingham, HP, Legg, S
The results of a landscape-scale test of ALEX, a widely used metapopulation model for Population Viability Analysis (PVA), are described. ALEX was used to predict patch occupancy by the laughing...
Tyre, AJ, Possingham, HP, Lindenmayer, DB
A significant problem in wildlife management is identifying good habitat for species within the short time frames demanded by policy makers. Statistical models of the response of species...
The focal-species approach and landscape restoration: a critique
Lindenmayer, DB, Manning, AD, Smith, PL, Possingham, HP, Fischer, J, Oliver, I, ...
In many parts of the world there is an urgent need for landscape restoration to conserve biodiversity. Landscape restoration is not straightforward, however, because many issues and processes must be...
How accurate are population models? Lessons from landscape-scale tests in a fragmented system
Lindenmayer, DB, Possingham, HP, Lacy, RC, McCarthy, MA, Pope, ML
There is a growing debate about the ability of Population Viability Analysis (PVA) to predict the risk of extinction. Previously, the debate has focused largely on models where spatial variation and...
Ball, SJ, Lindenmayer, DB, Possingham, HP
This study examines the predictive accuracy of the population viability analysis package, ALEX (Analysis of the Likelihood of EXtinction). ALEX was used to predict the probability of patch occupancy...
A new method for conservation planning for the persistence of multiple species
Nicholson, E, Westphal, MI, Frank, K, Rochester, WA, Pressey, RL, Lindenmayer, DB, ...
Although the aim of conservation planning is the persistence of biodiversity, current methods trade-off ecological realism at a species level in favour of including multiple species and landscape...
