Marsupial Destruction in Queensland 1877-1930'. The greater bilby, a threatened marsupial with rabbit-like ears, digs burrows that provide habitat for dozens of species, a new study says. Before the extreme contraction of its range to remote northern desert areas, the species was well known around Adelaide, especially in the city parklands, and it was also recorded as living around Perth. A related objective was to spatially characterize how bilbies used their environment for feeding and resting. https://blog.nature.org/science/science-brief/indigenous-knowledge-helps-map-habitat-for-the-threatened-bilby/, culture, martu, knowledge, oam, award, abc news. (2006). Request. Recovery plan. The effect of habitat type and seasonal conditions on fauna in two areas of the Tanami Desert'. The objective of this research was to develop a method to identify suitable Greater Bilby habitat from remote sensing imagery. By Ernest Dunwoody, Xiaoye Liu and Kevin McDougall. (1997). Ten bilbies (three male and seven female) were released in the enclosure during the period of December 2005 to September 2006. Greater Bilbies (Macrotis lagotis) once occupied 70% of Australia but are now an endangered species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (C'wlth) 1999. A spatial analysis of Greater Bilby (Macrotis Lagotis) habitat in south-west Queensland . (2001). Bilby Some facts about the Bilby. The Queensland wild bilby population is listed as endangered with an estimation of between 400 and 600 animals. These results formed the basis of a Weighted Sum model that accurately identified potential bilby micro-habitats within the enclosure. Researchers from the University of Melbourne and The Nature Conservancy, together with Martu indigenous rangers, designed a new method to model the distribution of the greater bilby, a threatened and culturally significant marsupial species in Australia.
