Abstract: We provide the first quantitative evidence of sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) being detected by ground-based camera traps. We speculate that this may represent occasional movement or foraging on the ground, which has not been fully appreciated previously.

Abstract: Ground dwelling mammal communities are documented six months before and after the Clyde Mountain Wildfire of 2019/2020 in Monga National Park. Across eight sites before fire, approximately 12 ground dwelling mammal species were recorded. Survey effort post‐fire increased to 40 sites, spanning three fire severity classes (low, moderate and extreme), revealed 16 ground dwelling mammal species. Species consist of small, medium and large native (one threatened species) and introduced mammals, though consistent with previous findings of ground dwelling mammal ersity in the area. Overall a greater number of species were found in low, compared to moderate and severe fire severity classes. Recovery and detection of mammals occurred in a shorter time period, again, in sites that experienced low, followed by moderate and extreme fire severity.

Abstract: The use of camera traps to track in idual mammals to estimate home range and movement patterns, has not been previously applied to small mammal species. Our aim was to evaluate the use of camera trapping, using the selfie trap method, to record movements of small mammals within and between fragments of habitat. In a fragmented landscape, 164 cameras were set up across four survey areas, with cameras left to record continuously for 28 nights. Live trapping was performed prior to ear mark animals to facilitate in idual identification on camera. Four small mammal species (sugar glider

Abstract: Context Fire severity and frequency is predicted to increase over the remainder of the 21st century in Australia’s temperate forests therefore, the effects of fire severity on forest-dependant species is of major conservation concern. Aims Determining the short-term ( year) effect of fire severity on a forest-dependant species, the greater glider, Petauroides volans, in Monga National Park, south-eastern New South Wales. Methods Three fire-severity classes were investigated, namely, low (canopy unburnt), moderate (partial canopy burn) and high (complete canopy consumption). Fifteen randomly allocated sites were visited in total, with five sites in each fire-severity class being visited on three separate occasions. Spotlighting of two off-track transects per site was completed over a 4-week period by using multi-covariate distance s ling (MCDS) to estimate greater glider densities at each fire-severity class. Key results An overall mean greater glider density estimate of 0.456 ha−1 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.256–0.654 ha−1) was calculated across all sites in Monga National Park. Density estimates varied among fire-severity classes low 0.779 ha−1 (95% CI 0.358–1.692 ha−1), moderate 0.472 ha−1 (95% CI 0.262–0.848 ha−1), and high 0.077 ha−1 (95% CI 0.0142–0.414 ha−1). Conclusions Distance s ling estimates suggested that areas affected by high-severity fire have lower densities of greater gliders. Implications The importance of areas experiencing low fire severity as a source of greater glider refugia during wildfire events is evident. Under a changing climate, frequent major wildfire events may significantly affect population viability of greater gliders if insufficient time between fires allow for population recovery.
