  • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The senior author would like to thank the landowners of Bam, Bonoabo, and Oio villages for allowing research on their land. Also, the staff of Cloudy Bay Sustainable Forestry Limited for generous and proactive field assistance: Lindsay Sau (FSC Supervisor), Steven Simaga (Forest Resource Inventory & Planning Supervisor), Raga Golina (Camp Supervisor, ex Resource Forester), and Henry Kawas (GIS Officer). Cloudy Bay Sustainable Forestry Limited, Dr Luke Leung and the first author's father Mr Owen Hughes provided financial support for the study. The first author would also like to thank other family and friends for their support throughout her studies, and Dr Tanya Leary for important guidance. Access to the Australian Museum mammal collection by HP was congenially facilitated by Dr Sandy Ingleby, Collection Manager, who also helped with the Pharotis loan. The authors wish to thank Jim Anamiato and Bulisa Iova, Natural History Department, National Museum & Art Gallery, Port Moresby, who arranged for the loan of specimens to the Australian Museum, and two referees Dr Mark Eldridge and Dr Sandy Ingleby (Australian Museum) for constructive suggestions to the manuscript. The manuscript was also enhanced thanks to comments from Dr Ken Aplin, and guidance from the editor, Dr Shane McEvey. HP thanks his father, David Parnaby, for financial assistance during preparation of the manuscript. This study was approved by the PNG government, National Research Institute, with the issue of a three-year Research Visa (reference 1035 0000 8380) to Catherine Hughes.
