Habitat structure is more important than vegetation composition for local‐level management of native terrestrial reptile and small mammal species living in urban remnants: A case study from Brisbane, Australia 2007-08-06 .txt text/plain 8146 415 45 title: Habitat structure is more important than vegetation composition for local‐level management of native terrestrial reptile and small mammal species living in urban remnants: A case study from Brisbane, Australia Patterns in the occurrence of native terrestrial reptile and small mammal species in 59 sites located in remnant urban habitat fragments of Brisbane City were assessed against local‐level environmental characteristics of each site. Investigations were based in urban habitat fragments located within the Brisbane City Council (BCC) local government area, where local government is responsible for setting within-patch management priorities and actions.We applied cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and principal axis correlation to identify significant habitat attributes and examine their importance for reptile and small mammal assemblages. Our results initially appear to imply that both vegetation composition (weed cover and grass trees) and habitat structure (termite mounds, wood volume and soil compaction) are important for native reptile and small mammal species. ./cache/cord-010305-z5c7zgp7.txt ./txt/cord-010305-z5c7zgp7.txt
