Using experimental trials to improve translocation protocols for a cryptic, endangered passerine.

(b) Vegetation age since major fires in Ngarkat Conservation Park with translocation release site and historic records of mallee emu-wrens S. mallee overlaid. Breeding ecology of mallee emu-wrens remains poorly known, though it is likely similar to that of other emu-wrens (e.g. [45]). EN arid ecology birds conservation mallee emu-wren management population management reintroduction Stipiturus mallee threatened species. Prior to the removal of mallee emu-wrens that made up the spring cohort, the primary harvest sites in Murray-Sunset and Nowingi were surveyed to establish baseline emu-wren density.
