Dear Robert,
I suggest that you contact A/Prof Hugh Ford of the Department of Zoology,
University of
New England. At the RAOU's Southern Hemisphere Ornithologists Conference in
October
1996, Hugh presented a very good overview of the effects of habitat
fragmentation,
degradation and clearance on the breeding success of birds.
Contact details can be obtained by consulting the 'Australian Bird Research
Directory'
on the RAOU's home page <http://www.vicnet.net.au/~raou/raou.html>. There are
a number
of other people listed in this directory who may also be able to assist you.
Dr Stephen Ambrose
Research and Conservation Manager.
