GPS tracking reveals koalas Phascolarctos cinereus use mosaics of different forest ages after environmentally regulated timber harvesting

"We located koalas for capture using day searches, nocturnal spot-lighting, koala detection dogs and dawn drone flights. Once located, koalas were either captured by trapping or flagging by a tree climber using an extended pole. Animals were anesthetized to allow appropriate fitting of collars."
