Breeding fat-tailed dunnarts (Sminthopsis crassicaudata) in captivity: Revised practices to minimize stress whilst maintaining considerations of wild biology. [PDF]
Dev DynAbstract Background The 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 ...

The species of Dasycercus Peters, 1875 (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) [PDF]
Memoirs of Museum Victoria, 2005 Woolley, P.A. 2005. The species of Dasycercus Peters, 1875 (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae). Memoirs of Museum Victoria 62(2): 213–221. Two species of Dasycercus (mulgaras) are recognised. They can be distinguished by the form of the tail, the number of upper premolar teeth in each jaw and, in the female, by the number of nipples in the pouch.
