Interpreting a Legacy Fossil Assemblage Excavated From Waribruk (New Guinea II Cave), GunaiKurnai Aboriginal Country, Snowy River National Park, Southeastern Australia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we report on faunal remains recovered from a legacy archaeological excavation undertaken in the rockshelter entrance of Waribruk (New Guinea II Cave), a GunaiKurnai site located on the west bank of the Snowy River, East Gippsland, southeastern Australia.

Development of body, head and brain features in the Australian fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata; Marsupialia: Dasyuridae); A postnatal model of forebrain formation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Most of our understanding of forebrain development comes from research of eutherian mammals, such as rodents, primates, and carnivores. However, as the cerebral cortex forms largely prenatally, observation and manipulation of its development has required

qPCR‐Based Environmental DNA (eDNA) Detection of Cryptic Arboreal Species Interaction With Artificial Habitat Structures

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Through integrated in silico design, in vitro optimization, and in situ validation, we developed two probe‐based qPCR assays to detect cryptic phascogales from artificial habitat structures. This provides a robust, noninvasive tool to assist in evaluating fauna in managed landscapes.

On the composition of Antechinomys (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae): how many species?

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Zoology, 2023
Morphological and molecular studies have consistently suggested that Sminthopsis, as currently defined, is rendered paraphyletic by the kultarr (Antechinomys laniger). They have also suggested a sister relationship between the kultarr and the long-tailed dunnart.

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 199-220, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Complete Rainforest Elevational Gradient Reveals Unusual Diversity Patterns of Non‐Volant Mammals in New Guinea

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We address a critical gap in the elevational community ecology of tropical non‐volant mammals in the Australian and Oceanian zoogeographic realms. Specifically, we document alpha and beta diversity, environmental predictors and community composition of individual clades in relation to their ecology and evolutionary history along an ...

A Tale of Two Tails: Untangling the Phylogeography and Demographic History of Extant Species of Mulgara (Dasycercus spp.) in the Australian Arid Zone

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Australia's arid and semi‐arid zones cover about 70% of the continent, yet our understanding of the biogeography of these diverse and expansive landscapes remains limited. Mulgara (Dasycercus spp.; Marsupialia: Dasyuridae), a widely distributed mammal taxon, offers an opportunity to explore patterns of the population structure across the ...
