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

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 ...

What's on the menu? Examining native apex‐ and invasive meso‐predator diets to understand impacts on ecosystems

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
When comparing the diets of native and invasive predator species in semi‐arid Australia, we found that native apex dingoes primarily consume large kangaroos, wallabies and emus, whereas invasive cats and foxes consume smaller prey groups, including 8–9 times the volume of threatened and vulnerable native mammals.

Aerobic power, huddling and the efficiency of torpor in the South American marsupial, Dromiciops gliroides. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
During periods of cold, small endotherms depend on a continuous supply of food and energy to maintain euthermic body temperature (T(b)), which can be challenging if food is limited. In these conditions, energy-saving strategies are critical to reduce the
