Photoperiod and the timing of reproduction in Antechinus flavipes (Dasyuridae: Marsupialia)
Mammalian Biology, 2006The effect of an artificial, unchanging photoperiod regime was examined in comparison to a natural photoperiodic regime on the reproductive pattern in Antechinus flavipes, a small dasyurid marsupial which in the wild has a short, highly synchronized mating period.

Seasonal changes in the reproductive anatomy of maleAntechinus stuartii (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae)
Journal of Morphology, 1997Male Antechinus stuartii (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) undergo significant endocrinological changes during their life history. The endocrine changes are associated with complete male mortality. The accessory reproductive tract of males is important for seminal plasma production, and changes associated with the reproductive cycle were not described in ...

Dentition of Victorian Antechinus species (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae).
Australian Mammalogy, 1986The dentitions of Victoria's currently recognised subspecies of Antechinus (A. stuartii stuartii, A. flavipes flavipes, A . minimus maritimus and A. swainsonii mimetes) are described and illustrated. Subspecies from other states compared are: A. stuartii adustus, A . f!avipes leucogaster, A. minimus minimus and A. swainsonii swainsonii.

The Duration of Lactation in Antechinus-Stuartii (Marsupialia, Dasyuridae)
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1992Free-living Antechinus stuartii at the Monga State Forest showed almost no variation in date of birth, yet weaning took place over a period of three weeks. Males were weaned slightly earlier and at greater weights than females. When daughters were considered, weaning was delayed in years when breeding density was high, and females with ten teats weaned

Communal Nesting in Antechinus-Stuartii (Marsupialia, Dasyuridae)
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1991Unrelated Antechinus stuartii spend a high proportion of their time in mixed-sex communal nests. Communal nesting starts early in the year, after females have weaned their young. It appears to be driven by the need for social interactions and familiarity between all the individuals in an area.

Body temperatures in some Australian mammals. 4. Dasyuridae.
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1965Body temperatures (TB) were measured in seven species of dasyurid marsupials ranging in size from 11 to 6700 g; these were: Sminthopsis laripinta, Sminthopsis crassicaudata, Antechinus flavipes, Dasycercus cristicauda, Phascogale tapoatafa, Satanellus hallucatus, and Sarcophilus harrisii.

The type specimen of Murexia longicaudata (Dasyuromorphia : Dasyuridae): an enigma
Australian Mammalogy, 2019Examination of the skull and dentaries of the type specimen of Murexia longicaudata has led to the conclusion that the holotype is either a highly abnormal individual or that the skull and dentaries are mismatched. The dentaries may be those of a smaller individual. The matter might be resolved if genetic studies were to be carried out on both.
