In New South Wales, legislation governing land clearing and development as it relates to koala conservation acts to prevent the destruction of habitat containing key tree species used by koalas. The identification of these key tree species is therefore critical to koala conservation. We aimed to compile a list of tree species used by koalas within the Wollondilly Shire region and investigate tree-use preferences. We radio-collared one female and four male koalas and tracked their movements over a period of 107–195 days. We conducted surveys within each koala’s home range to quantify the relative availability of each tree species, which we compared with their relative frequency of use. Koalas used 19 different tree species (17 during day, 12 during night), despite over 32 species being available. Eight species were preferentially used by one or more koalas; these were Eucalyptuts bosistoana, E. longifolia, E. puncata, E. crebra, E. globoidea, E. pilularis, E. tereticornis and Angophora floribunda. Two species were avoided: Corymbia gummifera and Acacia decurrens. Koalas consistently used larger trees relative to their availability, and we found a general but non-significant trend towards the use of larger trees at night compared with during the day. To achieve koala conservation, it will be necessary to preserve habitat patches comprising a diverse mixture of tree species and sizes, particularly trees >35 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), and to appropriately revegetate land with these criteria in mind.

Tree sap is important in the diet of the yellow-bellied glider (Petaurus australis). I investigated the use of 66 trees in sap feeding by gliders at 32 sites (equating to 32 glider groups) in eight surveys over 2 years in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales to evaluate the potential to use such trees in population monitoring. I estimated the probability of detecting two different types of glider incision made on the sap trees within 0–3 months of a survey: one representing bouts of sap feeding and the other representing the testing of the suitability of these trees for sap feeding. The probability of detecting each type of incision varied by season, being lowest in autumn and highest in spring (feeding: 0.30 ± 0.03 (s.e.) to 0.51 ± 0.04; testing: 0.40 ± 0.04 to 0.63 ± 0.03). I also investigated whether detection of any new incision differed between individual sap trees at a site. The probability of detection per survey was equivalent (0.76 ± 0.03) between trees and between years. The incisions accumulate over a year, so scoring any incisions made since a previous annual survey will increase this probability. New incisions were detected in each of the two sample years at all sites indicating short-term stability in home range occupancy and demonstrating a useful method of population monitoring.

Mating by a pair of wild spotted-tailed quolls was captured in a series of still images on a motion camera at the Windsor Tableland, far north Queensland. Typical of dasyurids, the mating was prolonged (5.75 h), although shorter than that usually described for captive quolls. Surprisingly, mating commenced shortly before dawn, and continued into mid-morning in an exposed location on the rainforest floor. The mating resulted in a distinctive, cleared circular area on the forest floor, similar to that described in captive situations. This may be a useful, if short-lived trace, for identifying the presence of mating quolls.
