Mobility of log-dependent invertebrates in fragmented forest

澳大利亚原生森林的砍伐仍在迅速进行。这导致森林总面积的减少，并造成孤立的残余物和枯竭的木质碎片。由无脊椎动物驱动的关键森林过程发生在这些碎片中。尽管其具有重要的经济和保护意义，但很少有关于生境丧失和改变对分解原木中的生物的影响的资料。我们将利用种群遗传学的最新进展，在松树海丛林岛模型中比较对一组依赖木材的无脊椎动物的影响。这将有助于改善森林的养护和可持续管理成果。

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.
