  • Subject
    Landscape genetics and ecology of a carnivorous marsupial, the yellow-footed antechinus (Antechinus flavipes), in highly altered habitat
 

PhD summary

By using genetic and ecological analyses of the small marsupial the yellow-footed antechinus, my thesis showed that large, mature trees should be preserved, fallen-timber loads restored on forest floor and spring flooding of floodplains maintained. Vegetation corridors were inferred as providing genetic connectivity between populations embedded in highly degraded landscapes.
