‘ARI Strathbogies Greater Glider Surveys ~ preliminary update Double-observer distance sampling has been used to estimate densities of greater gliders in the Strathbogie Ranges. Surveys were carried out between 9" October and 25! November, with two more nights planned for 11 ~ 12" of Decembér. Transects surveyed were 500m long. Sites were stratified to include 9 transects covering 3 coupes (Barjarg Flat 411-501-0002, Mt Hat ‘412-505-0002, Tartan 412-504-0002), and then 5 sites in the north of the Strathbogie Ranges and 11 in the south.
