N2 - A series of inter-related research projects in the past decade has focussed on the ecology of forest environments in central Victoria, south-eastern Australia. A major component of this research has included studies of the conservation biology of several species of arboreal marsupials that occur in these forests, particularly the endangered Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri MCCOY, 1867), the more common and widespread greater glider (Petauroides volans (KERR, 1792)), and the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus caninus (OGILBY, 1836)). The work has encompassed projects on life history and population dynamics, habitat requirements, nesting and denning behaviour within large hollow trees, the use of wildlife corridors as habitat and as a conduit for movement by animals, the spatial distribution of wildlife, spatial and temporal changes in habitat quality, and predictions of extinction risk in response to forest management regimes (Lindenmayer 1994). In this paper, a brief synthesis is presented of some of the key findings of some of the studies completed to date.
