R code, spatial and tabular data to fully reproduce STEPS simulations of population change for common brushtail possum, grassland melomys and northern brown bandicoot in northern Australia
<ol> <li> <p>The development of effective fire management for biodiversity conservation is a global challenge. The highly dynamic nature of fire, the difficulty in replicating 'real-world' fire experiments, and the need to understand population changes at large spatiotemporal scales make computer simulations particularly useful for identifying optimal fire management regimes for biodiversity conservation. </p> </li> <li> <p>We aimed to develop a flexible modelling approach with which to investigate how the spatiotemporal application of fire (i.e. management scenarios) influences savanna biodiversity. We used existing data from a landscape-scale fire experiment to develop population simulations for the common brushtail possum (<i>Trichosurus vulpecula</i>), grassland melomys (<i>Melomys burtoni</i>) and northern brown bandicoot (<i>Isoodon macrourus</i>) across the Kapalga area of Kakadu National Park in northern Australia. We simulated how populations were expected to change between 1995 and 2015 in response to the fire patterns observed at Kapalga over this period, and under a hypothetical management scenario of extensive prescribed burning.</p> </li> <li> <p>Our models predicted a substantial decline in all three species in response to the observed fire regime at Kapalga, suggesting that the fire patterns observed at Kapalga, with the associated mechanisms and interactions with other ecological processes, were not conducive with the persistence of native mammal populations. </p> </li> <li> <p>Our prescribed burning scenario had little effect on the predicted population trajectory of the common brushtail possum and grassland melomys, but markedly improved the population trajectory of the northern brown bandicoot. These inconsistencies highlight the need for a nuanced approach to fire management across northern Australian savannas, that is tailored to local conditions and management objectives. </p> </li> <li> <p>Synthesis and applications. The modelling approach outlined here, provides a basis for identifying fire patterns that are beneficial for conserving biodiversity, thereby increasing our capacity to establish clear targets for prescribed fire management. Importantly, this approach is flexible and can be easily adapted to other taxa and fire-prone ecosystems.</p> </li> </ol>
The first comprehensive revision of all the species attributed to Melomys led J. I. Menzies in 1996 to resurrect the genus Paramelomys and to redefine its morphologicallimits and species content. Menzies created P. gressitti as a new species belonging to a group displaying morphological similarities and including also P. lorentzii and P. moncktoni. Monotypic Distribution. E New Guinea. Descriptive notes. Head-body 135-162 mm, hindfoot 30-34 mm; no specific data are available for body weight. Gressitt's Mosaic-tailed Rat is a medium-sized Paramelomys with a soft, thick and woolly pelage, a long narrow foot, and a tail with three hairs per scale. It exhibits a medium-sepia dorsal pelage and a gray-buff ventral one. Tail is slightly shorter (99%) than head-body length. The skull has a narrow zygomatic plate. Habitat. Moist tropical mountain forest between 2300 m and 2400 m. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Gressitt's Mosaic-tailed Rat is terrestrial. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List owing to its small geographic range (less than 3500 km?*) and the destruction ofits habitat by mining and logging activities. The major threat to Gressitt's Mosaic-tailed Rat is ongoing habitat degradation caused by nearby human populations; habitat on Mount Kandy has been destroyed by gold-miners and wood-cutters.

First described as a member of genus Uro-mys, arctum was placed in Melomys by O. Thomas in 1922 and in subgenus Melomys by H. Riummler in 1936 as a subspecies Of M. leucogaster. In his 1996 revision, J. I. Menzies found M. arcium to be close to M. leucogaster, and T. F. Flannery in 1995 suggested it as a valid species, an opinion followed by G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005. Monotypic. | Distribution. Rossel I, Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea. in Muridae

Fig. 34 in Systematic Reviews Of New Guinea Coccymys And ''Melomys'' Albidens (Muridae, Murinae) With Descriptions Of New Taxa
Fig. 34. ''Mossy beech (Nothofagus) forest'' at 2060 m on the northern slopes of Mt. Dayman. May 1953. This forest zone is commonly referred to as mid-montane (for example, in Johns, 1982). Although examples of Coccymys kirrhos were not captured in this habitat on the northern slopes of Mt. Dayman, similar forest to the southwest on the Garatin Ridge yielded a specimen (Cole et al., 1997; Engilis and Cole, 1997).

Fig. 31. Ratio diagram illustrating some proportional relationships in cranial and dental dimensions between samples of adult Coccymys. The standard is the type series of C. shawmayeri from Mt. Wilhelm (N 5 25), which is contrasted with the sample of C. kirrhos from Mt. Dayman (N 5 3; includes the holotype). Data are derived from values for mean, standard deviation, and sample size of variables listed in tables 5and 6. See legend to figure 30.

Fig. 37. ''Tall mossy forest at camp, with bamboo undergrowth,'' was Brass's label for this photograph taken at the top camp, 2230 m, on the northern slopes of Mt. Dayman. This ''mossy forest'' is comparable to Whitmore's (1984) ''tropical lower montane rainforest'' and Johns's (1980) ''mid montane'' designation. May 17–June 19, 1953.
