Abstract
We are currently living in a geological epoch named the ‘Anthropocene’ (Crutzen, 2006, Crutzen, 2016), which is characterised by extensive modification of the environment by humans (Andrade et al., 2021). Anthropogenic changes of the landscape encompass habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation. Since European settlement, Australia is estimated to have lost 38% of its forests through land-clearing (Bradshaw, 2012). Over the past 50 years, the greatest rates of deforestation have been in south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales (Bradshaw, 2012, McAlpine et al., 2009), with less than 40% of remnant vegetation remaining in the south-east Queensland bioregion (Wilson et al., 2002). This affects all biodiversity, but some species are considered especially vulnerable to rapid changes: specialist species.
