Abstract:

Analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and allozymes are used to investigate the population genetic structure, phylogeography and systematics of the fat-tailed dunnart, Sminthopsis crassicaudata. Phylogenetic analyses of control region sequences reveal the presence of two major mtDNA haplotype clades. A survey of the distribution of the two clades using diagnostic restriction endonucleases shows that one clade is restricted to southeast Australia whereas the second clade occupies the remaining central to western range of S. crassicaudata. Allozyme electrophoresis also shows concordant patterns

Abstract:

The brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) is considered locally rare and vulnerable, despite being found in all mainland states of Australia. It is rarely detected in faunal surveys and the two most immediate conservation requirements are a determination of its current range and clarification of its taxonomic status. Measures of genetic differentiation amongst Phascogale tapoatafa populations in eastern, western and northern Australia were estimated using a partial (348 bp) sequence of mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b gene). Observed sequence divergence within P. tapoatafa was substant

Abstract:

Fauna translocations are often used for conservation purposes. This has been especially prevalent in the translocation of threatened species in south-west Western Australia. Translocations can fail for several reasons such as stress, disease and predation and, less frequently, homing behaviours of translocated individuals. We report on one of eight chuditch, Dasyurus geoffroii, that was recaptured near the original point of capture 12 days after release at the designated translocation site in George State Forest Block, 14 km to the south. During that period she had lost 12.5% of her body weigh

Abstract:

Quolls are carnivorous marsupials in the family Dasyuridae with characteristic white spots. They are distributed throughout Australia and New Guinea, but uncommonly seen due to their mostly nocturnal solitary nature, and large home ranges. All Australian quolls are listed as ‘near threatened' or ‘endangered' at state, national and international levels, largely due to human-induced threats. Threats include introduced predators, habitat loss through clearing and modifications including changed fire regimes, disease, human persecution, vehicle collisions and accidental or targeted poisoning by hu

Abstract:

Since the turn of the century, a third of the mammal species of arid Australia have suffered a drastic decline in distribution and abundance. Uluru National Park has not escaped the massive loss of mammals, with over 15 species being lost from the Park in the last century, and some, including the brush-tailed possum, Trichosurus vulpecula, becoming locally extinct in the last twenty years (Baynes and Baird 1992, Reid, Kerle and Morton 1993). This suggests that the processes causing the decline are still operating. The mulgara Dasycercus cristicauda, remains extant in the vicinity of Uluru Nati

The widespread geographical distributions of mammalian carnivores such as the Carnivora and the Dasyuridae have often been erroneously equated with abundance. Their low densities and high demands on habitat area can render mammalian carnivores especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and destruction.

Threatened warru, or black-footed rock-wallaby (Petrogale lateralis MacDonnell Ranges race), populations in northern South Australia continued to decline despite baiting for foxes (Vulpes vulpes), which improved their short-term conservation status elsewhere. To investigate whether feral cats (Felis catus) also represent a risk to warru we compared frequencies of prey occurrence in 103 feral cat and 14 fox stomachs shot near warru colonies in northern South Australia during 2001–17 with measures of prey abundance from pitfall trapping and opportunistic searches. We hypothesise that one fresh a

This study of the effects of logging on small mammals in Mumbulla State Forest on the south coast of New South Wales included the effects of a fire in November 1980 and a drought throughout the study period from June 1980 to June 1983. Rattus fuscipes was sensitive to change: logging had a significant impact on its numbers, response to ground cover, and recapture rate; fire had a more severe effect, and drought retarded the post-fire recovery of the population. The three species of dasyurid marsupials differed markedly in their response to ground cover, canopy cover, logging and fire. Antechin

Abstract:

Understanding behaviour of threatened animal species is an important component of conservation. This study assessed video and recorded data collected on a historical captive population of kultarrs (Antechinomys laniger) to describe their behaviour in captivity. The kultarr, a small marsupial in the Dasyuridae family, is native to central Australia. It is categorised as Least Concern on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species with its population assessed as decreasing. Here, we describe some key behaviours displayed by kultarrs in captivity, incl

AbstractThe Carpentarian Pseudantechinus (Pseudantechinus mimulus, Dasyuridae) is a little‐known, saxicolous dasyurid marsupial from the Mount Isa Inlier bioregion in Queensland (QLD) and the Gulf Coastal bioregion in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia. A paucity of targeted survey effort across broad swathes of potentially suitable habitat means that the species' distribution and habitat associations are uncertain. This study aimed to (1) refine the contemporary distribution of P. mimulus, (2) determine the landscape and floristic variables that may predict P. mimulus presence, and (3) as

Abstract:

AbstractThreatened species monitoring is challenging for small, cryptic endotherms that are most effectively detected at night. Low detectability is a challenge for monitoring programmes, resulting in low statistical power and sparse or zero‐inflated datasets. To advance conservation management programmes, efforts to address this are required. In recent years thermal scanners have emerged as an effective tool for detecting small endotherms, but the diversity of available thermal tools, focal habitats and target species mean that their applicability in many key scenarios remain untested.

Abstract:

Abstract Unmodified forests are increasingly rare worldwide, with forestry a major contributor to habitat modification. Extending conservation practices beyond protected areas is important to conserve forest ecosystems. We investigate the response of native mammalian carnivores (both Order Carnivora and Family Dasyuridae) to production forests globally, including harvested native forest and timber plantations. We examine how carnivores recorded in production forests use these forests versus other land uses, particularly native and/or unharvested forest; how habitat use relates to threatened st

Abstract Taxonomic distinction of species forms the foundation of biodiversity assessments and conservation priorities. However, traditional morphological and/or genetics-based taxonomic assessments frequently miss the opportunity of elaborating on the ecological and functional context of species diversification. Here, we used 3D geometric morphometrics of the cranium to improve taxonomic differentiation and add ecomorphological characterization of a young cryptic divergence within the carnivorous marsupial genus Antechinus. Specifically, we used 168 museum specimens to characterize the recent

Abstract There is increasing interest in use of marsupial models in research, for use in next-generation conservation by improving fitness through genetic modification, and in de-extinction efforts. Specifically this includes dasyurid marsupials such as the Thylacine, Tasmanian devil, quolls and the small rodent-like dunnarts. Technologies for generating genetically modified Australian marsupials remains to be established. Given the need to advance research in this space, the fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata) is being established as a model for marsupial spermatogonial stem cell i

AbstractBackgroundThe fat‐tailed dunnart is a small dasyurid marsupial which is emerging as a robust laboratory model for conservation, developmental, and reproductive biology research. While these marsupials present extremely valuable models, housing non‐domesticated animals in captivity can present a wide range of potential stressors for the animals, which need to be managed to ensure colony health. Notably, dunnarts rely on scent marking for social communication, which is important to maintain to reduce stress in artificial environments.ResultsIn this study, we examine captive management te

Abstract The fat-tailed dunnart, Sminthopsis crassicaudata, is a mouse-sized, polyovular, solitary dasyurid marsupial found in central and southern Australia. With the establishment of a chromosome-scale genome assembly, induced pluripotent stem cells, and targeted genetic editing, the dunnart is emerging as the laboratory marsupial model for comparative developmental, reproductive and conservation biology. The development of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are critical to achieving these goals in this species. ART requires a large number of mature oocytes which are typically collecte
