ABSTRACT The establishment of exotic tree plantations poses a pervasive threat to wildlife across the globe. Among most important species used for forestry purposes worldwide are members genus Eucalyptus , which have now been established in at least 107 countries outside their native range. When introduced into non‐native areas, eucalypt associated with myriad novel challenges fauna, and often reductions biodiversity local communities. However, similar other anthropogenic habitats, can also create opportunities that allow them survive thrive these environments. In this review, we use as case study understanding ecological evolutionary responses habitat loss change. We begin by summarising main avenues research addressing individual, community, ecosystem levels, highlight critical gaps. consider characteristics different types how such attributes linked ability animals respond appropriately plantations, summarise considerations conservation animal communities human‐altered habitats.
