摘要: The suitability of structures installed to enable safe passage wildlife across a road is most frequently determined by monitoring after new roads are built. Rarely field tested before installation. We canopy rope-bridges in an area frequented koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) with the explicit aim determining whether might use such structures. Rope-bridges were four different designs maximise likelihood that one be used, as precursor further replication. Infrared cameras on well two nearby reference trees compare frequency use. Over period 2.9 years no detected whereas recorded 34 and 41 24-h periods. may not suited arboreal mammal inclined travel along ground move between trees.
