TASMANIAN DEVIL There is no doubt that persecution led to the extinction of the Thylacine in Tasmania and the process may have been accelerated by a distemper-type disease. The second largest marsupial carnivore the Tasmanian Devil, whilst also suffering some persecution, exacerbated by road-kill, is now also under dire threat from the facial tumour disease. This species is listed as endangered under both the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. -
Ba3444 MAMMAL BOOKLET FINAL.Indd
Intot Obliv i The disappearing native mammals of northern Australia Compiled by James Fitzsimons Sarah Legge Barry Traill John Woinarski Into Oblivion? The disappearing native mammals of northern Australia 1 SUMMARY Since European settlement, the deepest loss of Australian biodiversity has been the spate of extinctions of endemic mammals. Historically, these losses occurred mostly in inland and in temperate parts of the country, and largely between 1890 and 1950. A new wave of extinctions is now threatening Australian mammals, this time in northern Australia. Many mammal species are in sharp decline across the north, even in extensive natural areas managed primarily for conservation. The main evidence of this decline comes consistently from two contrasting sources: robust scientifi c monitoring programs and more broad-scale Indigenous knowledge. The main drivers of the mammal decline in northern Australia include inappropriate fi re regimes (too much fi re) and predation by feral cats. Cane Toads are also implicated, particularly to the recent catastrophic decline of the Northern Quoll. Furthermore, some impacts are due to vegetation changes associated with the pastoral industry. Disease could also be a factor, but to date there is little evidence for or against it. Based on current trends, many native mammals will become extinct in northern Australia in the next 10-20 years, and even the largest and most iconic national parks in northern Australia will lose native mammal species. This problem needs to be solved. The fi rst step towards a solution is to recognise the problem, and this publication seeks to alert the Australian community and decision makers to this urgent issue. -
Measurement of Southern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon Obesulus) Body Temperature Using Internal and External Telemeters
Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 90: 161–163, 2007 Measurement of Southern (as the signal must pass through the body wall), which is important in studies of highly-mobile species (Audet & Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon Thomas 1996; Barclay et al. 1996). obesulus) body temperature To both measure Tb remotely and avoid surgery using internal and external related difficulties, external attachment of body telemeters temperature telemeters have been used on a number of species of endotherms (Audet & Thomas 1996; Barclay et al. 1996; Körtner & Geiser 2000; Körtner et al. 2001; A Larcombe Dausmann 2005). In these studies, small telemeters were either glued to the experimental animals, attached using Zoology, School of Animal Biology M092, an elastic harness, or as a collar.

However, in larger animals (380–550 g) the difference between Tsk and Tb increased by several degrees (Körtner et al. 2001). The Abstract.

Conservation Advice Isoodon Obesulus Obesulus Southern Brown
THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice on 5 May 2016; and confirmed this subspecies 4 Apr 2001 inclusion in the Endangered category. Conservation Advice Isoodon obesulus obesulus southern brown bandicoot (eastern) Note: The information contained in this Conservation Advice was primarily sourced from ‘The Action Plan for Australian Mammals 2012’ (Woinarski et al., 2014). Any substantive additions obtained during the consultation on the draft are cited within the advice. Readers may note that Conservation Advices resulting from the Action Plan for Australian Mammals show minor differences in formatting relative to other Conservation Advices. These reflect the desire to efficiently prepare a large number of advices by adopting the presentation approach of the Action Plan for Australian Mammals, and do not reflect any difference in the evidence used to develop the recommendation. Taxonomy Paull (2008) recognised three subspecies of southern brown bandicoot in the south-eastern states: I. o. obesulus (New South Wales (NSW), Victoria and South Australia), I. o. nauticus (Nuyts Archipelago, South Australia) and I. o. affinus (Tasmania). Following Pope et al. (2001), Zenger et al. (2005) and Westerman et al. (2012), Woinarski et al. (2014) included I. o. affinis and I. o. nauticus as part of I. o. obesulus. This taxonomic grouping was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory, and contributed to the re-evaluation of the status of I. o. obesulus undertaken here. However, recent genetic analysis suggests that I. o. affinis is genetically distinct from the mainland populations (Cooper et al., unpublished). -

High quality habitat at release sites is known to improve the success of assisted colonisations, but defining high quality habitat can be challenging when species no longer inhabit their historical range. A partial solution to this problem is to quantify habitat use at release sites, and use results to inform assisted colonisation in the future. In this study, we quanti- fied habitat use by the eastern barred bandicoot Perameles gunnii, functionally extinct on the Australian mainland, immediately after translocation to an island ecosystem. -
