Measures to mitigate threats to the Eastern Bristlebird and protect their habitat will benefit other threatened plant and animal species and ecological communities within the species’ range. Key Biodiversity Areas triggered by Eastern Bristlebirds

for instance list a total of 10 other species as Triggers. These include: Black-breasted Buttonquail (Turnix melanogaster), Green Catbird (Ailuroedus crassirostris), Regent Bowerbird (Sericulus chrysocephalus), Logrunner (Orthonyx temminckii), Albert’s Lyrebird (Menura alberti), Rufous Scrub-bird (Atrichornis rufescens), Paradise Riflebird (Ptiloris paradiseuss), Pale-yellow Robin (Tregellasia capito), Pilotbird (Pycnoptilus floccosus) and Rockwarbler (Origma solitaria). The habitat of the northern population is shared with Spotted-tailed Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus), Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Grey-headed Flying-fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami), Long-nosed Potoroo (Potorous tridactylus), Hastings River Mouse (Pseudomys oralis), Greater Glider (Petauroides volans),

Yellow-bellied Glider (Petaurus australis) and other threatened species.

Threatened Ecological Communities listed under the EPBC Act that overlap with Eastern Bristlebird distribution include Lowland Rainforests of Subtropical Australia, Littoral Rainforest and Coastal Vine Thickets of Eastern Australia and, to a limited extent in Queensland, White Box – Yellow Box – Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland. There are also a number of Ecological Communities listed at the state level that will benefit from increased efforts to protect and conserve Eastern Bristlebird habitat. Many mammals, invertebrates and plants will also receive benefits as a result of measures put in place to protect and rejuvenate Eastern Bristlebird habitat.
