Description
Few studies have documented faunal restoration in urban bushland. This study used acoustic monitoring to compare fauna in remnant and restored urban bushland and investigated the vegetation and landscape attributes that may predict faunal biodiversity. Results showed that acoustic indices and bat assemblages did not vary between remnant and restored bushland sites. Site-level variation was a consistent finding in this study indicating that urban restoration often transitions to a novel state. This study has concluded that a combination of acoustic and vegetation monitoring should be undertaken at regular intervals, over long periods, to track faunal restoration in urban bushland.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
