Edwards, D., and M. Westerman. "DNA-DNA Hybridization and the Position of Leadbeater Possum (Gymnobelideus-Leadbeateri Mccoy) in the Family Petauridae (Marsupialia, Diprotodontia)." Australian Journal of Zoology 40, no. 6 (1992): 563. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/zo9920563.

Abstract:

The diprotodontian family Petauridae is composed of two subfamilies: Petaurinae (gliders) and Dactylopsilinae (striped possums). Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) has generally been placed among the petaurines on the basis of morphological, particularly dental, characters. Recent microcomplement fixation data, however, suggest that G. leadbeateri is a sister group to the Dactylopsilinae. We report DNA-DNA hybridisation comparisons among Leadbeater's possum, two dactylopsilines, two petaurines, and an outgroup pseudocheirid. Phylogenetic analysis of these data support the basic dichotomy between petaurines and dactylopsilines, and suggest that G. leadbeateri is more closely related to dactylopsilines. Resolution of this relationship, assayed by bootstrap analysis, is limited, but branch lengths on the optimal tree suggest a rapid initial diversification of three lineages within the Petauridae: dactylopsilines, petaurines and G. leadbeateri.

Abstract:

Book review of: Peace, Power & Politics: How New Zealand Became Nuclear Free, by Maire Leadbeater. Dunedin: Otago University Press, 2013, 344pp. , ISBN 9781877578588Journalism's focus on major political figures and high level negotiations leaves the more diffuse activities of grassroots politics in the shadows. So it is refreshing to see a well-researched book unapologetically placing civic groups at centre-stage. Marie Leadbeater’s thorough chronology of the last 40 years of New Zealand’s peace movement and the fight for a nuclear-free country fills some gaps in our knowledge about the mechanics of ‘people power’. It’s an insider’s view. Leadbeater, daughter of feminist and peace campaigner Elsie Locke, says activism is in her genes. She was secretary and then spokeperson for Auckland’s Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, closely involved with the nuclear free protests of the 1970s and 1980s and still demonstrating at Waihopai’s satellite communication monitoring station in 2013.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1986, a small, outlying population of Leadbeater?s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) was discovered inhabiting lowland swamp forest at Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve. It is the only known extant lowland population, and occurs in habitat dramatically different to that throughout the possum?s core range in the montane ash forests of the Victorian Central Highlands. As part of an investigation into the species? ecology in lowland swamp forest, surveys were undertaken to establish the possum?s distribution and abundance at Yellingbo. The population is estimated to contain 80 - 100 individuals, distributed along a narrow, 6 km length of riparian forest. Most of the suitable foraging habitat is presently occupied, and densities are similar to those previously reported for the species in montane ash forest. The possums are breeding year round, with significant recruitment of young into the population, and data obtained between 1995-2004 suggest that the population size is currently stable. A highly targeted revegetation program focused on the floodplain has the potential to improve up to 85 ha of degraded swamp forest, and in so doing would more than double the area of suitable habitat for G. leadbeateri in the reserve.

Abstract:

This is an introductory biology textbook that is tailored to the needs of students who will major or take courses in environmental science, conservation, sustainable development, or other areas that deal with anthropogenic problems of habitat degradation, extinction, and human over-population. It is an introductory text in that it presents all the paradigms of biology, including cell theory and evolution, as well as scientific method, field techniques, and problem solving, all with an environmental emphasis. Most of the focus of the numerous examples is on Australian subjects and problems. For example, three case studies presented in the introductory chapter deal with the conflict between timber production and the conservation of Leadbeater?s Possum Gymnobelideus leadbeateri, whether humans caused the outbreak of Crown-of-thorns Starfish Acanthaster planci on Australian reefs, and the conservation of a rare plant species, Corrigin Grevillea Grevillea scapigera, after massive land clearing in Western Australia.

Abstract:

Feral cats have been identified as a major threat to Australian wildlife; however, their impacts on the critically endangered Leadbeater’s possum (Gymobelideus leadbeateri) are unknown. Here, we describe camera trap observations of a feral cat hunting at nest boxes occupied by Leadbeater’s possum. Seven feral cats were subsequently captured within the surrounding area: two had Leadbeater’s possum remains in their stomachs. The prevalence of cat predation on this species, particularly at nest boxes, and how this can be mitigated warrants further investigation.

Abstract:

The provision of nest boxes has been proposed as a conservation strategy to overcome the predicted shortage of nest sites for the arboreal marsupial Leadbeater's possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri. Here estimates of the longevity of nest boxes are coupled with data on the habitat requirements of G. leadbeateri. This approach is used to predict the number of boxes required in a nest box programme for the conservation of the species. The practicality of implementing a nest box programme based on these predictions is discussed.

Abstract:

This is an essential book for any one interested in the way that New Zealand formulates and carries out its foreign policy. It is also a stark reminder that New Zealand, a founder member of the United Nations, a vocal supporter of decolonisation and a country much-praised for its peacekeeping efforts all over the world has not always been willing to take a moral stance when balancing trade, security and human rights. Maire Leadbeater has produced the most detailed account so far of New Zealand's involvement in the tragedy that engulfed East Timor during and after the 1975 Indonesian invasion of the former Portuguese colony.

Full text

Abstract:

The results of a radio-tracking study of the uses of den trees by Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri McCoy) at Cambarville in the mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria, south-eastern Australia, are described. Animals were radio-tracked for three periods of 5-20 days in July 1990, November 1990 and July 1991. A total of 14 individuals was tracked and they occupied 11 different trees with hollows on the 10-ha study site. Preliminary findings showed that some animals moved between hollows in different trees, and most animals used two or more trees. The distances between utilised trees usually exceeded 50 m. Possible reasons for the den-swapping behaviour include attempts to either or both relieve burdens of ecto-parasites and to reduce the risk of predation. There were several examples, in each of the three radio-tracking periods, of two or more radio-collared adult breeding female animals simultaneously co-occupying the same nest tree. This result was different from some of the general findings of an earlier study of G. leadbeateri at Cambarville.

Abstract:

FOR a biologist attaining his doctorate in 1990, David Lindenmayer has been nothing less than prolific. His web page at the Australian National University (ANU) credits him with more than 520 scientific publications and 20 books. This book, Forest Pattern and Ecological Process, brings together his 25 years of research experience in the montane ash forests of Victoria’s Central Highlands. That research began in 1983 with studies of the ecology of Leadbeater’s Possum Gymnobelideus leadbeateri, an iconic and endangered arboreal marsupial and led to his doctorate from ANU entitled The Ecology and Habitat Requirements of Leadbeater’s Possum. I remember reading that dissertation and thinking how good it was and the promise it held for the young biologist who wrote it. I was not wrong.

Abstract:

Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) is an arboreal marsupial that occurs primarily in the montane ash forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria. Leadbeater’s possum is among the best studied endangered species globally. Despite extensive monitoring and research, the ongoing population trajectory of the species has resulted in its recent upgrading from Endangered to Critically Endangered. One of the key processes threatening the species is the widespread use of clearfell logging, which significantly degrades the habitat of the species and results in long-term habitat loss, fragmented populations, and an elevated risk of high-severity crown-scorching fires. A general principle underpinning conservation biology is to remove key threatening processes to enhance the conservation of species. The cessation of clearfell logging and a major expansion of the reserve system are urgently needed to limit the risk of extinction of Leadbeater’s possum. Current government policies and practices that continue to result in clearfelling of montane ash forests run counter to the large body of science indicating what is needed to conserve Leadbeater’s possum. A large ecological reserve is urgently required to maximise the chances that the species will persist in the wild.

Abstract:

Resumen La publicación de una serie de manuales teosóficos a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX sobre cuestiones tan novedosas como la tipología de las formas del pensamiento y lo referente a la composición cromática del concepto del aura, supuso para numerosos creadores vanguardistas la apertura de nuevas posibilidades experimentales. En este sentido, algunas de las propuestas pictóricas de Wassily Kandinsky, Theo van Doesburg y František Kupka, entre otros, se podrían interpretar como permutaciones cromáticas a partir de la estipulación teórica que generaron especialmente los teósofos C.W. Leadbeater y Annie Besant. Sin realizar una traslación mimética de las diferentes conjeturas planteadas en las creencias de esta escuela de pensamiento hermético, dichos artistas se embarcaron en la proyección de nuevas oportunidades experimentales a la vez que se sustentaban en la validación de un corpus teórico que justificaba la práctica abstracta en relación con un entramado de mayor acercamiento espiritual.

We welcome the opportunity to respond to Lindenmayer and Norton (1993) on behalf of those involved in management of the endangered Leadbeater's Possum. We agree that much can be learned from overseas experience, including work on the Northern Spotted Owl in USA. However, we do not share those authors' jaundiced and negative views about our developing management strategies and believe that comparisons with proposed conservation measures for the Northern Spotted Owl, as presented, are misleading. Their paper is particularly disappointing in view of the substantial achievements made towards conserving Leadbeater's Possum during the past two years.

Abstract:

Spring et al. (D.A. Spring, M. Bevers, J.O.S. Kennedy, and D. Harley. 2001. Can. J. For. Res. 31: 19922003) recently published a paper on the economics of a nest-box program for the endangered arboreal marsupial, Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) in southeastern Australian forests. While their paper is a useful one, there are some important limitations of nest-box programs that need to be highlighted. In the case of Leadbeater's possum, we have undertaken extensive nest-box studies in Victoria mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell.) forests, where the vast majority of populations of the species now occur. Although large numbers of nest boxes have been deployed, very few have actually been occupied, which is a major problem since the effectiveness of any nest-box program will depend on patterns of use by the target species. Given very low levels of nest-box occupancy, harvesting regimes such as those that lead to on-site tree retention are needed to better conserve hollow-dependent species like Leadbeater's possum. Moreover, the need for nest boxes in the first place indicates that logging practices are presently not ecologically sustainable, and modified forestry practices need to be adopted.

Abstract:

The principle of personalisation has been associated with that of normalisation (Beresford, 2009a). This article considers whether Oliver's (1994) essentially 'materialist' criticisms of normalisation can be applied to personalisation. It critiques the professionally dominant, service-specific approach of personalisation from the standpoint of the more organic, collective and holistic, but also 'materialist', approach of the disabled people's independent living movement. The article ends by suggesting that policy and practice, not just within social policy, but also throughout generic social and economic policy and the structure of society, should return to the original 'deep' personalisation advocated by Leadbeater (2004). This would enable the co-production of whole-system change within society in genuine partnership with those who use its services and contribute to its polity. An account of a multi-stakeholder, 'solution-based' seminar entitled 'Personalisation and Independent Living', organised by the disabled people's independent living movement in Scotland, is provided as an example of such co-production.

Abstract:

Widespread concern about environmental pollution is putting a new question to the fossil record: How has the biosphere reacted to chemical changes in the past? Monera and Protoctista might be expected to provide valuable clues in this quest since their biomineral remains are generally formed in conditions closely related to the environment. But why do unicells biomineralize at all? It was with such questions in mind that an international symposium of the Systematics Association on “Biomineralization in Lower Plants and Animals” was held at Birmingham on April 15–19, 1985. Monerans, protoctistans, lichens, calcareous algae, and bryozoans were discussed in 36 papers, of which 23 are to be published in a volume by Oxford University Press. This volume, edited by Leadbeater and Riding (1986), will form a natural sequel to the papers in Miller et al. (1984) on mineral phases in biology and in Westbroek and de Jong (1983) on biomineralization and biological metal accumulation.

Pacific Conservation Biology 1, no. 1 (1994): 13. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/pc930013.

Full text

Abstract:

Aspects of the conservation and management of the endangered species Leadbeater's Possum Gymnobelideus leadbeateri in southeastern Australia and the Northern Spotted Owl Strix occidentalis caurina in the Pacific north-west of the USA are similar in their nature and the intensity of public debate. Both species occur in temperate forests that are also used for intensive wood production. Due to historial factors and present forestry management regimes, a major conflict in land-use exists between the conservation of these animals and intensive timber harvesting in both geographic regions. The long-term persistence of Leadbeater's Possum and the Northern Spotted Owl will depend primarily on the protection and appropriate management of mature and old growth stands or attributes of such types of forest. The Interagency Spotted Owl Scientific Committee developed a set of guiding biological principles and used knowledge of the autecology and natural history of the species to formulate a management plan to help ensure the viability of populations of the Northern Spotted Owl beyond the next century. Unfortunately, the strategies currently proposed for the conservation of Leadbeater's Possum are unlikely to ensure its long-term persistence, and, therefore, the Victorian Government's position on this matter is inconsistent with its undertakings in the new National Forest Policy. We discuss the application of the approach and strategies proposed by the Interagency Committee to the conservation of Leadbeater's Possum. Attempts to manage the Northern Spotted Owl and Leadbeater's Possum will reflect the ability of governments to pursue truly ecologically sustainable development and resource use.

Full text

Abstract:

Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) is a cryptic, endangered species that is notoriously difficult to detect using conventional mammal survey methods. However, the imitation of the species’ social contact and/or alarm calls has previously been found to attract resident animals. Call imitation was employed as a secondary survey method to confirm ongoing site occupancy by Leadbeater’s possum at Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve. All call imitation reported here was conducted at sites currently or previously known to be occupied by particular family groups. The results indicate that the method has considerable promise as a tool to facilitate broad-scale surveys targeting this species. However, ‘false negatives’ did occur during the surveys at Yellingbo, highlighting that additional testing is required to adequately characterise the species’ response patterns, in particular variation in the response rate in occupied territories and the distance over which animals will respond. A detailed understanding of these factors is essential to permit reliable interpretation of survey findings.

Abstract:

AbstractDer Einfluss der Theosophischen Gesellschaft auf die Entwicklung der modernen westlichen Esoterik kann kaum überschätzt werden. Sowohl direkt als auch indirekt funktionierte die Theosophie als Katalysator und Quelle für fast alles in der westlichen Esoterik, das die Veröffentlichung der Lehren von Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) und die Gründung der Theosophischen Gesellschaft im Jahre 1875 folgte. Während der Einfluss der Theosophie auf die westliche Esoterik gut dokumentiert ist, wird sie weniger häufig als Vorläufer der westlichen Magie gesehen. Obwohl Blavatsky das bereitstellte, was man als die den rituellen Magie zugrundeliegenden esoterischen Philosophie betrachten könnte, lieferte Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854–1934) die mehr praktischen, und tatsächlich beliebteren und schmackhafteren, Erklärungen, wie und warum sie wirksam sein könnte. Seine Behauptung, dass rituelle Magie nicht einfach symbolisch oder psychologisch sei, sondern eine wirkliche Transformation der Teilnehmer und der äußeren Welt verursachte, hat die meisten modernen ritualmagischen Gruppen und Texte beeinflusst und ist da deutlich offenkundig. Es ist ein Theosophischer Einfluss aber nicht einer, der Blavatsky, oder die Theosophische Organisationen welche das, was oft 'Neo-Theosophie' genannt wird, ablehnen, erkennen würden.

Abstract:

A combination of fires and logging mean that more than 80% of the montane ash forests inhabited by Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) in the Victorian Central Highlands consist of ecologically young stands possessing few trees with hollows. As a consequence, there have been predictions of a substantial decline in Leadbeater’s possum populations over the next 40 years. If this is to be averted, or reduced in extent, then an immediate means of increasing den site availability for the species is required. The results of a recent investigation into nest-box use by the species in lowland swamp forest demonstrate that high rates of occupancy can be achieved by targeting established colonies at sites where the vegetation structure is suitable for box installation. This suggests that nest boxes can be an effective means of increasing den-site availability for the possum, and therefore have considerable potential to contribute to the species’ conservation in the short term. Such measures should be applied in conjunction with altered forestry practises that better provide for the retention and future provision of mature hollow-bearing trees.

Abstract:

A model is presented of relationships between the density of Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) and other tree-hollow dependent possums and gliders and the density of potential nest trees (PNT) in Eucalyptus regnans/E. delegatensis forests, where PNT are defined as all living or dead trees with d.b.h. more than or equal to 0.5 m and ht. more than or equal to 6 m. The total density of all possums and gliders increased linearly with PNT density, in an approx. 1:1 ratio, then plateaued at an av. max. density of 11.3 animals per 3 ha once PNT density exceeded 12 per 3 ha. Regression models predict that G. leadbeateri will be absent from the majority of sites with less than 4.2 PNT per 3 ha and will increase linearly in density to an av. max. of 7.8 animals (or 3.1 colonies) per 3 ha on sites with more than 10 PNT per 3 ha. The absence of G. leadbeateri from sites with fewer than 4.2 PNT per 3 ha was attributed to: competition for hollows from other species; use of more than one PNT by individual colonies; and unsuitability of hollows in up to 2 out of every 3 PNT. Regression models predict that current logging prescriptions in ash forests, which call for retention of a minimum of 15 trees for every 10 ha clear felled, will result in elimination of G. leadbeateri from the majority of clearfelled coupes, and will reduce the total number of hollow-dependent possums and gliders to less than one-eighth of their av. max. density in unlogged forest. A range of forest management options are presented and discussed to ensure the continued availability of PNT for hollow-dependent arboreal mammals in timber production forests.

Abstract:

The use of isolated cell wall fragments of Choanephora cucurbitarum (Berk. & Rav.) Thaxter (a host), and of Linderina pennispora Raper and Fennell (a nonhost), has provided not only a convenient method to quantify attachment of the parasite, Piptocephalis virginiana Leadbeater and Mercer, by the artificial inoculation and washing-off procedure, but also an excellent material for investigations on the molecular basis of specificity and host recognition. The parasite germ tubes are attached to the cell wall fragments of the host but not of the nonhost. Attachment was inhibited by the addition of sugars, chitobiose and chitotriose, and by treatment with acid or alkali indicating the involvement of proteins or glycoproteins in recognizing sugar residues at the cell surface. Both host and nonhost showed a positive binding reaction with fluorescent lectins specific for N-acetyl-D-glucosamine oligomer. The cell surface of the nonhost also contains D-galactose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residues as lectin binding sites. Sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cell wall extracts of host and nonhost revealed four bands of glycoproteins common to both fungi and two were specific to the host.

Abstract:

Differences in cell wall reactions at the penetration sites on a resistant host, Phascolomyces articulosus Boedijn ex Benny and Benjamin, and on a susceptible host, Choanephora cucurbitarum (Berk. & Rav.) Thaxter, were studied by autoradiography at 18 h after inoculation with a mycoparasite, Piptocephalis virginiana Leadbeater and Mercer. Localized incorporation of a radioactive chitin precursor, N-[3H]acetylglucosamine ([3H]GlcNAc), was observed at the penetration sites on the resistant but not the susceptible host. Autoradiography of mechanically wounded hyphae of the susceptible and resistant hosts showed similar patterns of localized incorporation of [3H]GlcNAc within 5 min after sonication. Label incorporation at the penetration as well as at the wounding sites was inhibited by polyoxin D. Cycloheximide treatment greatly increased the label in subapical regions and reduced that at the hyphal tips in both the hosts, whereas this treatment did not prevent localized incorporation at the wounding or the penetration sites on the resistant host. Suppression of localized incorporation of [3H]GlcNAc at penetration sites in C. cucurbitarum was not due to the lack of mobility of chitin synthase to the penetration site or its activating factor.

Abstract:

Population Viability Analysis (PVA) uses computer modelling to simulate interacting deterministic and stochastic factors (e.g. demographic, genetic, spatial, environmental and catastrophic processes) that act on small populations and assess their long-term vulnerability to extinction. The computer program VORTEX was used in a PVA of Leadbeater's possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri McCoy, an endangered arboreal marsupial that is restricted to the montane ash forests of the central highlands of Victoria. PVA was used to examine the impacts of changes in the size of subpopulations and the effects of environmental variation. Our analyses demonstrated that an annual linear decline in the carrying capacity in all or parts of the habitat will lead to the extinction of G. leadbeateri in those areas. Mean time to extinction was related to the rate of annual decrease. This conclusion is of practical and management importance as there is presently a decline in suitable habitat because of an annual loss of more than 3.5% of trees with hollows, which provide nest sites for G. leadbeateri. Because nest sites are a factor that limits populations of G. leadbeateri, the species could be lost from large areas within the next 50 years. PVA was also used to determine the viability of populations in areas, such as oldgrowth forest, where there is not likely to be a steady decline in habitat carrying capacity resulting from the loss of trees with hollows. This allowed an analysis of the cumulative impacts of small population size, environmental variation and genetic factors, which showed that, for a 100-year projection, simulated populations of 200 animals or more remained demographically stable and experienced a less than 10% decline in predicted genetic variability. However, the relatively simplified nature of population modelling and the suite of assumptions that underpin VORTEX mean that the probability of extinction of populations of this size may be greater than determined in this study. As a result, it is possible that only populations of more than 200 animals may persist in the long term where suitable habitat can be conserved or established and subsequently maintained without a reduction in carrying capacity.

Abstract:

An optimization model is developed to identify timing and placement strategies for the installation of nest boxes and the harvesting of timber to meet joint timberwildlife objectives. Optimal management regimes are determined on the basis of their impacts on the local abundance of a threatened species and net present value (NPV) and are identified for a range of NPV levels to identify production possibility frontiers for abundance and NPV. We apply the model to a case study focusing on an area of commercially productive mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell.) forest in the Central Highlands region of Victoria, Australia. The species to be conserved is Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri McCoy), which is locally limited by a scarcity of nesting hollows. The modeling is exploratory but indicates that nest boxes may offer a promising population recovery tool if consideration is taken of their placement and areal extent through time.

Abstract:

There is increasing awareness of environmental issues in Australia (Victorian Government 1986, 1987). However, public participation in many such issues is typically limited to comment and submission on government policy, management plans and a range of other environmental statements. It is rare for the public to be involved in the scientific research upon which many environmental policies are based.Recent surveys for the rare and endangered Leadbeater's Possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri have been an exception to this trend (Lindenmayer et al. 1990a, 1990b, 1990c). These studies have used a new wildlife survey technique termed stagwatching (Lindenmayer, 1989; Lindenmayer & Press, 1989) involves observing and counting animals emerging from nest and den sites in very large living or dead trees with hollows (“stags”) at, or close to, dusk. Animals are observed and recognised in silhouette. Because many Australian animals regularly move between nest sites, stagwatching is dependent on simultaneously watching all stags in a known area (= 3 ha in this study) (Smith et al. 1989). This makes stagwatching extremely labour intensive and its success is dependent on substantial participation by the public. Our experience of this public support suggests that stagwatching has considerable value for use in public and environmental education to increase the awareness of methods of study and understanding of forest biology and conservation. The values of stagwatching in environmental education are identified in this paper, and a case study of the use of stagwatching in surveys for Leadbeater's Possum is also presented. The methods used to organise the stagwatching program are documented so they may be adopted and modified for teaching a range of topics about Australian forests.

Abstract:

The results are reported of a nest-box study conducted in two locations in the mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria (south-eastern Australia) to compare usage of different nest-box designs located at different heights in trees. A total of 96 nest boxes was established using a rigorous experimental design – two regions (Powelltown and Toolangi State Forests), two forest age classes (20-year post-logging regrowth and 60-year fire- and salvage-logging regrowth), two nest-box designs (large boxes with large entrance holes and small boxes with small entrance holes), and two heights at which nest boxes were attached to trees (3 m and 8 m above the ground). The study entailed setting out four nest boxes at each of 24 sites to meet the design criteria. Evidence of occupancy by vertebrates was recorded in a total of 19 of 96 boxes on 11 of 24 sites site during regular inspections over more than three years. Thirteen boxes were used by Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri), six by the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus cunninghami) and seven by the common ringtail possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus). The common ringtail possum and mountain brushtail possum were seen only in high–large boxes but Leadbeater's possum used all but the low–large boxes. There was evidence of spatial dependence in usage patterns, with all four boxes at a given site showing signs of eventually being occupied. Only two nest boxes located in mountain ash forest regenerating after the 1939 wildfires were occupied. Relatively limited use of nest boxes supports concerns about the use of a nest box over large scales and long timeframes as an effective recovery tool for species threatened by the loss and subsequent shortage in the numbers of naturally occurring hollows.

Abstract:

AbstractTwo species of cockatoo, the galah Cacatua roseicapilla and Major Mitchell's cockatoo C. leadbeateri are sympatric throughout much of Australia. Both species nest in tree-hollows of similar dimensions at the same time of year. Their eggs which are very similar are laid every other day and are not incubated until at least three have been produced. Parent birds often forage a long way from the nest and so the early eggs are largely unattended. Sometimes a pair of C. roseicapilla and one of C. leadbeateri both "own" the same hollow and contribute eggs to the clutch. When confrontation finally arises the C. roseicapilla being smaller, lose out and the C. leadbeateri unknowingly incubate a mixed parentage clutch, and may rear a young C. roseicapilla with their own offspring. Such cross-fostered C. roseicapilla behave as, and associate with C. leadbeateri; they ignore other C. roseicapilla. Parts of their behaviour repertoire are innate, parts are the result of imprinting and parts, of later learning. They learn to fly and to call like C. leadbeateri and they also adopt the latter's much more varied diet. Cross-fostered C. roseicapilla are probably responsible for those cases of hybridisation in the wild between C. roseicapilla and C. leadbeateri that have been reported.
