摘要: Summary Results are presented from a three year study of the principles governing persistence native and introduced mammals in isolated forest areas within pine plantations cleared farmland an 82 000 ha region Gippsland, Victoria. This research demonstrated that systems retained natural land have vital role to play conservation mammal species, particularly those which sensitive habitat alteration. The value vegetation varied according their size; most species were present 1771 isolate while isolates 50 100 contained approximately per cent extant region. Disturbance, grazing by herbivores, appeared reduce small for many species. indicated short-term could be achieved retaining system 20 reserves representing...
