Skulls may be found in the bush with, or apart from, the rest of the skeleton.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, 4101, Australia Abstract We provide a taxonomic redescription of the dasyurid marsupial Atherton Antechinus, Antechinus godmani (Thomas). A. godmani is only rarely encountered and limited to wet tropical rainforests of north-east Queensland, Australia, between the towns of Cardwell and Cairns (a distribution spanning 135 kilometres from north to south). The distinctive species occurs at altitudes of over 600 meters asl, in all major rainforest types, and can be found with both the northern subspecies of the Yellow-footed Antechinus, A. flavipes rubeculus Van Dyck and the Rusty Antechinus, A. adustus (Thomas). A. god- mani is clearly separated from all congeners on the basis of both morphometrics and genetics. A. godmani can be distin- guished from all extant congeners based on external morphology by a combination of large size, naked-looking tail and reddish fur on the face and head. A. godmani skulls are characteristically large, with a suite of long features: basicranium, palate, upper premolar tooth row, inter-palatal vacuity distance and dentary. Phylogenies generated from mt- and nDNA data position Antechinus godmani as monophyletic with respect to other members of the genus; A.

  • Submission by the Friends of Eastern Otways (Great Otway National Park
    Submission by The Friends of Eastern Otways (Great Otway National Park) Incorporated [FEO (GONP)] to the Environment and Communications References Senate Committee on Faunal Extinction The FEO (GONP) is a community organisation of over 200 members whose area of operation is the Eastern area of the Great Otway National Park. The Friends carry out environmental care activities including weeding, regeneration of native vegetation and flora and fauna monitoring, in collaboration with Parks Victoria. Since 1998, FEO (GONP) has undertaken fauna monitoring in the Eastern Otways. Initially (1998 -2008) hair tubes were employed as animals enter the baited tube they leave hair samples and the animal is identified after analysis of the hair structure. More recently (2009 to 2017) remote, infra-red sensing cameras with attractants to draw native fauna to the camera sites have replaced hair tubes. With camera monitoring, the resultant images enable direct and immediate identification of a wide range of animal species. In the years since we commenced fauna monitoring we have carried out many thousands of hours of monitoring and identified many species of fauna in the area of the Eastern Otways (stretching from Point Addis in the East through Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Lorne to Kennett River in the west, including the coastal hinterland). We make this submission to draw the committee’s attention to the decline in the number and variety of faunal species we have obtained using our monitoring methods. We would particularly wish to draw the Committee’s attention to the decline in small, native, terrestrial, mammals we have observed. Australia has many small terrestrial mammals: They are important in ecosystems such as found in GONP.

  • 17. Morphology and Physiology of the Metatheria
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA T.J. DAWSON, E. FINCH, L. FREEDMAN, I.D. HUME, MARILYN B. RENFREE & P.D. TEMPLE-SMITH 1 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA 2 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA EXTERNAL CHARACTERISTICS The Metatheria, comprising a single order, Marsupialia, is a large and diverse group of animals and exhibits a considerable range of variation in external features. The variation found is intimately related to the animals' habits and, in most instances, parallels that are found in the Eutheria. Useful general references to external characteristics include Pocock (1921), Jones (1923a, 1924), Grassé (1955), Frith & Calaby (1969), Ride (1970) and Strahan (1983). Body form In size, the marsupials range upwards from the Long-tailed Planigale, Planigale ingrami, a small, mouse-like animal weighing only around 4.2 g, with a head- body length of 59 mm and a tail 55 mm long. At the other extreme, there are large kangaroos, such as the Red Kangaroo, Macropus rufus, in which the males may weigh as much as 85 kg and attain a head-body length of 1400 mm and a tail of 1000 mm. Body shape also varies greatly. The primarily carnivorous marsupials, the dasyurids (for example, antechinuses, dunnarts, quolls, planigales and others), are small to medium sized quadrupeds with subequal limbs. The tail is relatively slender and generally about half the length of the body. The omnivorous peramelids show increased development of the hind limbs in keeping with their rapid bounding locomotion. Saltatory or hopping forms (for example kangaroos and wallabies), carry the hind limb specialisation to an extreme, with a concomitant reduction of the forelimbs (Fig.

  • Thomas Mutton Thesis
    EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY OF THE AUSTRALIAN CARNIVOROUS MARSUPIAL GENUS ANTECHINUS Thomas Yeshe Mutton B. App. Sci. (Hons) School of Earth, Environmental and Biological Sciences Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy i Keywords Antechinus, Australia, Australian mesic zone, biogeographical barriers, biogeography, breeding biology, congeneric competition, conservation, genetic structure, Dasyuridae, dasyurid, life-history, mammal, mammalian, Miocene, molecular systematics, Phascogalini, phylogenetics, phylogeography, Pleistocene, Pliocene, population genetics, Queensland, systematics (Davison ) ii Abstract Antechinus is an Australian genus of small carnivorous marsupials. Since , the number of described species in the genus has increased by % from ten to fifteen. The systematic relationships of these new species and others in the genus have not been well resolved and a broad phylogeographic study of the genus is lacking. Moreover, little ecological information is known about these new species. Therefore, the present study examined the evolutionary biology of Antechinus in two complimentary components. The first component aimed to resolve the systematics and phylogeography of the genus Antechinus. The second component, at a finer spatiotemporal scale, aimed to improve understanding of the autecology, habitat use and risk of extinction within the group, with a focus on the recently named buff-footed antechinus, A. mysticus and a partially sympatric congener, A. subtropicus. To date, powerful (>two gene) molecular studies have only included eight Antechinus species. Here, the first comprehensive, multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of the genus using six genes was provided, incorporating all known species and subspecies of Antechinus. Four main lineages of Antechinus were reconstructed: () The dusky antechinus (A.
