Clearing of Australian native forests continues apace. This leads to declines in total forest area and creates isolated remnants with depleted woody debris. Critical forest processes driven by invertebrates occur in this debris. Despite its major economic and conservation significance, there is little information on the impacts of habitat loss and alteration on organisms in decomposing logs. We will utilize recent advances in population genetics to compare impacts on a suite of log-dependent invertebrates in an islands-of-bush-in-a-sea-of-pines model. This will facilitate improvements in conservation and sustainable management outcomes in forests.

澳大利亚本土森林的砍伐仍在继续。 这导致森林总面积减少，并产生了树木残体枯竭的孤立残余物。 由无脊椎动物驱动的关键森林过程发生在这片废墟中。 尽管其重大的经济和保护意义，有很少的信息对生物体的栖息地丧失和改变的影响，在分解日志。 我们将利用人口遗传学的最新进展，比较一套日志依赖的无脊椎动物在一个岛屿，在一个海的松树模型的影响。 这将有助于改善森林养护和可持续管理的成果。
