N2 - Population Viability Analysis (PVA) is a computer simulation method used to investigate the cumulative impacts of various deterministic and stochastic influences on a given population or group of local populations (= a metapopulation). It is increasingly being used throughout the world to estimate the risk of extinction of plants and animals (Shaffer 1991) and has been applied in studies of more than 100 species worldwide (Boyce 1992, Lindenmayer & Possingham 1994), including invertebrates (e.g. Murphy et al. 1990), plants (e.g. Menges 1990, Burgman & Lamont 1992), reptiles (e.g. Soulé 1989, Doak et al.1994), birds (e.g. Haig et al. 1993, Lamberson et al. 1994, La Haye et al. 1994, Akcakaya et al. 1995, Hamilton & Moller 1995), and mammals (e.g. Lacy & Clark 1990, 1993, Kinniard & O’Brien 1991, Goldingay & Possingham 1995). There have been a diverse array of applications of PVA as part of studies of Australian taxa (Table 1). In this paper, we briefly outline the development of the use of this approach in conservation biology in Australia.
