This project will measure the conservation biology of rodents, including threatened Heath Mice, in areas of mining lease and natural ecosystems in southern Western Australia. It will establish the distribution, habitat requirements and ecology of the threatened Heath Mouse, its interactions with other rodent species (Bush Rat, Ash-grey Mouse, Western Mouse, Mitchell's Hopping Mouse), and determine the impact of floral changes due to plant disease caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi on the conservation of Heath Mice. Landscape models will be developed to assist in the management of mining leases where Heath Mice occur.
