Tree Hollows and Wildlife Conservation in Australia. 2002. illustr. 240 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
More than 300 species of Australian native animals - mammals, birds,reptiles and amphibians - use tree hollows, but there has never been acomplete inventory of them. Many of these species are threatened, or arein decline, because of land-use practices such as grazing, timber production and firewood collection. This book is the first comprehensiveaccount of the hollow-dependent fauna of Australia and introduces a considerable amount of new data on this subject. It not only presents areview and analysis of the literature, but also provides practical approaches for land management.
