The reliance of cockatoos upon large hollows for nesting makes them vulnerable to any reduction in this resource. Species inhabiting forests managed for timber production are at risk because logging has the capacity to reduce hollow abundance si[...]

Small marginal habitats in the rural landscape may play an important role for plant species richness as refugias. Little is known how the surrounding landscape and landscape history influence these patterns. I analysed how plant species richness[...]
