Document Summary
Geographic barriers isolation of sub population large scale result in isolation. Frugivorous birds exploit high productivity and lots of fresh fruits available. Birds feed in day, mammals feed at night. Sea level to 1600m upland is cooler, fewer animal species lowland below 1000m, more species found. Only 1-2% of total and area of australia. Over 75,000 known from only australia"s tropical rainforests. Small species and herbivores need less area than large species and carnivores and insectivores. Approximately 50% of australian tropical rainforest birds are shared with png. Migrate back to png in march/april (mature earlier than juveniles)
