A new paper involving Environment Institute member as well as David Pavlacky Jr (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Queensland), Hugh Possingham (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Queensland), Peter Prentis (Queensland ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Technology), David Green (Simon Fraser ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥) and Anne Goldizen (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Queensland) has been published in the .

The paper titled '' investigates using patch occupancy surveys and molecular data for a rainforest bird, the logrunner (Orthonyx temminckii), to determine (i) the effects of landscape change and patch structure on local extinction; (ii) the asymmetry of emigration and immigration rates; (iii) the relative influence of local and between-population landscapes on asymmetric emigration and immigration; and (iv) the relative contributions of habitat loss to asymmetric emigration and immigration.
