		Gliders usually live in the tall wet or dry forest that line the east coast of Australia.
		Gliders move about the treetops by means of a flying membrane (a thin sheet of animal tissue).
		Although gliders are hunted by other species, including the owl, the greatest threat to them comes from the destruction of the forests in which they live.

	TI: Feeding behaviour and food availability of the yellow-bellied glider in north Queensland
		This study confirms the dependence of the yellow-bellied glider in north Queensland on the sap of the red stringybark (Eucalyptus resinifera) and that conservation of the yellow-bellied glider is intimately associated with the management of this tree species.
		Gliders approached the area of playback in 50% of tests; in one instance from a distance of 200 m.
		Gliders devoted 90% of the time outside their dens to foraging and the above relationship is suggested to reflect two foraging options which maximize net energy gain for different abundances of flowering trees.

	Yellow-bellied Glider \| North East Forest Alliance
		The yellow-bellied glider is the largest of the Australian gliders, with the average length of head and body 280 mm and tail 433 mm.
		Yellow-bellied gliders are restricted to tall, mature eucalypt forests in temperate to subtropical eastern Australia in regions of high rainfall.
		Gliders have such large home ranges and occur at such low population densities, that assessing the population size that is needed for the gliders to survive long term, and the area required for that population size, can give a good indication of the size that conservation reserves need to be.

	Gliding possums
		Gliders generally live in a wide variety of eucalypt forests, most of which line the east coast and ranges of Australia.
		The greater glider is the only gliding possum that doesn't live in a family or social group.
		The squirrel glider and the yellow-bellied glider are quite uncommon (they have been listed as vulnerable under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995), and are in need of special protection.

	Petaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As is typical of flying phalangers, the Sugar Glider is nocturnal, small (usually around 400 mm, counting the tail), and has folds of loose skin running from its wrists to its ankles.
		All are omnivores, and eat tree sap, gum, nectar, pollen, and insects, along with manna and honeydew.
		While Biak and Sugar Gliders are relatively common, most of the other species are rare, or, in the case of Mahogany Glider, endangered.

	Yellow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The Yellow-bellied Glider is a gliding possum of the Family Petauridae, and Genus Petaurus (Russell, 1983).
		The Yellow-bellied Glider produces one young usually between the period of November and May. It remains in the pouch for approximately 100 days, and then in the nest for about 60 days (Gilmore and Parnaby, 1994).
		As this species of glider uses hollows for shelter, it follows that only a certain age tree, and therefore a certain age habitat, can be used.

	Pictures of the yellow-bellied glider\|Petaurus australis facts
		For example, despite its widespread distribution along the eastern coast of Australia, the Yellowbellied Glider Petaurus australis is classified as vulnerable because it occurs in low densities and the majority of its habitat in southern Queensland is threatened by land use practices.
		The yellow bellied glider is grey above, whitish to orange below, with gliding membrane extending from wrists to ankles.
		This study also revealed that the yellow- bellied glider is not dependent on a diversity of tree species nor on a winter-flowering species.

		A sugar glider is a nocturnal marsupial that lives high up in the trees in forest in specific areas of the world.
		Sugar gliders have a couple of flaps of skin that go from their fingers on the hands to the toes on the feet.
		Sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) The sugar glider is a fairly small possum (shorter in body length than the average fl rat) with a gliding membrane down the side of its body.

		As for all gliders the threats to their existence are cats and the clearing of their habitat.
		In the case of the greater glider the clearing is particularly damaging as they will remain loyal to their territory even when it has been cleared.
		Both species are nocturnal but the yellow belly has a more highly developed potagium (gliding membrane) that runs from wrist to ankle.

	Petauridae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Most of the wrist-winged gliders (subfamily Petaurinae) are native to Australia, most of the striped possums (subfamily Gymobelideus) to New Guinea, but some members of each are found on both sides of Torres Strait.
		Members of the Petaurinae (wrist-winged glider subfamily) are herbivorous, specialising on sap and nectar, but taking a wide variety of supplemental foods.
		The subfamily appears to have evolved in the open forests of Australia—gliding membranes are an adaptation which aids mobility when the forest canopy is incomplete, and are of little use in rainforests— but now has representatives in New Guinea and many of the smaller islands nearby.

		Adult gliders were sexually dimorphic in body size and were characterised by yellow ventral fur, which is consistent with southern populations.
		Gliders lived in groups of 3–6 individuals that occupied exclusive areas of about 50 ha.
		The structure of glider groups varied enormously: five contained one adult pair, three contained one adult male and 2–3 adult females, and two initially contained 2–3 adult males and one adult female but then persisted as bachelor groups after the death or disappearance of the adult female.

		Greater gliders are larger and have furred ears, compared with the large naked pointed ears of the yellow-bellied glider.
		The yellow-bellied glider has strong teeth to gouge the thick fibrous bark to tap into the flowing nectar beneath which is its main food source.

	Scientists for Sustainiblity
		Milledge and colleagues concluded that the strong relationship of the glider to old-growth stands probably related to factors additional to hollow availability such as a high diversity of eucalypts which provide food sources at different times of the year and the glider’s foraging requirements.
		They noted that the Yellow-bellied glider may be difficult to conserve in the context of intensive wood production in view of its large home range, its requirements for large hollows in old trees and its foraging habits but found no significant association between the glider and logging.
		While the glider utilises an assemblage of different tree species in other forest types in which it is found, in the monotypic mountain ash forests food resources are more abundant in old-growth.

		The arboreal marsupials The four species of arboreal marsupial examined were the greater glider Petauroides volans, the common ringtail possum Pseudocheirus peregrinus, the mountain brushtail possum Trichosurus caninus and the yellow-bellied glider Petaurus australis.
		Thus, the habitat quality of a patch for greater gliders, yellow-bellied gliders and mountain brushtail possums was set to zero when it was converted to pine plantation.
		In the case of yellow-bellied gliders, there was some evidence for reduced density in the patches but this was not conclusive because of the overall low density of this species.

		Its flight is generally referred to as gliding, but soaring is a more accurate term to describe the action of a flying glider (see Aerial Sports).
		During the second half of the 19th century less attention was given to the idea of flapping the wings of airplanes by means of the arm and leg muscles of the pilot.
		Instead, gliders were built with wings braced by struts and wires (see glider).
