salvage logging in the montane ash eucalypt forests of the central highlands of victoria and its potential impacts on biodiversity.	the two major forms of disturbance in the montane ash eucalypt forests of the central highlands of victoria (southeastern australia) are clearfell logging and unplanned wildfires. since the 1930s wildfire has been followed by intensive and extensive salvage-logging operations, which may proceed for many years after a wildfire has occurred. although applied widely, the potential effects of salvage logging on native flora and fauna have been poorly studied. our data indicate that the abundance of ...	2006	16922217
isolated remnant or recent introduction? estimating the provenance of yellingbo leadbeater's possums by genetic analysis and bottleneck simulation.	effective conservation management requires that genetically divergent populations potentially harbouring important local adaptations be identified and maintained as separate management units. in the case of the endangered australian leadbeater's possum (gymnobelideus leadbeateri), an arboreal marsupial endemic to victoria, uncertainty over the evolutionary origin of a potentially important extant wild population recently discovered in atypical habitat (lowland swamp) at yellingbo is hampering su ...	2008	19238705
population genetic analysis reveals a long-term decline of a threatened endemic australian marsupial.	since european colonization, leadbeater's possum (gymnobelideus leadbeateri) has declined across its range to the point where it is now only patchily distributed within the montane ash forests of the central highlands of victoria. the loss of large hollow-bearing trees coupled with inadequate recruitment of mature ash forest has been predicted to result in a reduction in population size of up to 90% by 2020. furthermore, bioclimatic analyses have suggested additional reductions in the species' d ...	2009	19694962
