A regional survey of the forests in north-eastern New South Wales recorded eight species of nocturnal forest birds and nine species of arboreal marsupials from 291 sites. Three major environmental gradients accounting for the distribution of these species in north-eastern New South Wales were identified: elevation, forest type (wet forest types having a dense mesic understorey or dry forest types having an open or sparse understorey), and logging intensity. Characteristic assemblages of species were associated with each end of these three gradients. A core group of species occurred across a wide range of environmental conditions, including logged and unlogged forest. Most species occurred with similar frequency in logged and unlogged forest. Implications for forest management are discussed.
