Abstract
Yiyin Eryn Chang addresses the conservation needs of the endangered Mahogany Glider. Utilizing species distribution modelling, field surveys, and genetic analysis, it identifies detailed suitable habitats, estimates population size, and reveals genetic diversity and structure of the species. Findings emphasize key populations, prompting a long-term monitoring plan and suggesting taxonomic uncertainties. The integrated approach offers a framework for conserving other threatened species worldwide.
