Nest boxes as a recovery tool for hollow‐using mammals following fire

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Tree hollows provide crucial habitat for vertebrate species globally, but their decline—particularly following habitat disturbances—has led to the increased use of nest boxes in conservation efforts. In our study, we deployed 54 nest boxes across burnt and unburnt sites after the 2019–2020 Australian megafires and monitored arboreal mammal activity ...
