4. Based on the current results, O. barnabita requires a large network of tree hollows. Within such a network, it will occur with a high probability in almost any large, hollow tree, regardless of the finer characteristics of the tree or its cavities. Thus, the conservation management of O. barnabita should be focused on securing a good supply of suitable veteran trees rather than managing individual trees with established occurrences of the species.
