Forest fragmentation results in a loss of forest interior and an increase in edge habitat. We studied how understorey bird community composition and habitat variables changed along an edge-to-interior gradient in a 1248-ha lowland rainforest patch in peninsular Malaysia. Birds and environmental variables such as vegetation structure and litter depth were detected within a 25-m radius of each of...

The reduction of game and fish populations has increased investment in management practices. Hunting and fishing managers use several tools to maximize harvest. Managers need to know the impact their management has on wild populations. This issue is especially important to improve management efficacy and biodiversity conservation. We used questionnaires and field bird surveys in 48 hunting esta...

Habitat complexity plays a critical role in shaping biotic assemblages and ecosystem processes. While the impacts of large differences habitat are often well understood, we know less about how subtle structure affect key functions or properties such as biodiversity biomass. The late-successional seagrass Posidonia australis creates vital for diverse fauna temperate Australia. Long-term human ha...
