	Animal Info - Red-tailed Phascogale
		The red-tailed phascogale is arboreal and mainly nocturnal.
		The red-tailed phascogale has declined due to habitat loss and fragmentation from clearing for agriculture (in the wheatbelt), and possibly also due to predation by foxes and cats and changed fire regimes leading to a reduction in old, long-unburned vegetation.
		The occurrence of the red-tailed phascogale in areas where plants that contain fluoracetate also occur may be a result of the protection these toxic plants provide from competition with livestock and from predation by introduced carnivores.

	Brush-tailed phascogale survey
		Todd thinks it is unlikely that they have struck it lucky on this first survey, but says that in terms of the research not finding them will be almost as important as finding them.
		Phascogales have been recorded in the survey area but not in recent decades.
		Phascogales and their close relatives the antechinuses are well known for the early death of the males, worn out by the frenetic breeding season.

	Environment & Nature News - Genetic research reveals new species - 05/06/2000
		Researchers at the Marsupial Co-operative Research Centre (CRC) have found a Brush-tailed Phascogale, a small, tree-dwelling marsupial which was, until recently, thought to be a sub-species of the Brush-tailed Phascogale that lives in eastern Australia.
		The researchers also found that the Brush-tailed Phascogale found in northern Australia was also an entirely separate species from the eastern Phascogale.
		Phascogales are solitary, arboreal animals with a cream belly and a conspicuous 'bottle-brush' tail.

	rush Tailed Phascogale
		95% arboreal, the Brush-tailed Phascogale lives in a variety of forest and woodland habitats having a reliable annual rainfall within the range of 500 to 2000 mm but its preferred habitat is open dry sclerophyll forest with little ground cover.
		The species is found in all mainland Australian states and on a couple of close islands, however is not present in Tasmania.
		The number of females that survive to successfully breed in their second year is quite low and estimated to vary between 6 – 16%.

	Tuft-tailed phascogale; a newly discovered species
		It had a long tail with a distinct tuft on the end of it, which flowed along behind.
		The tuft was bout 30x50mm, at the end of an otherwise rat-like tail.
		Not a Brush-tailed Phascogale; the size was much smaller and the tail only tufted at the tip.

		The Brush-tailed Phascogale is a large rat or squirrel-sized, carnivorous arboreal marsupial.
		The Phascogale feeds mainly on spiders, insects, small mammals and birds and during the day they can be found in their preferred nesting site of a tree hollow, which is usually lined with bark, leaves, fur and feathers.
		Unfortunately, the range of the Brush-tailed Phascogale is declining, primarily due to land clearance pressures, feral predators and feral honeybees taking over their tree hollows.

		The brush-tailed phascogale is not a well-known marsupial.
		In appearance somewhere between a large rat and a small possum, it is characterised by its large fl fluffy tail, which is thought to play a role in evading predators.
		The phascogale is little known because it's now a rare species, with an estimated one individual only every 35 hectares in prime habitat.

		The survey sought to determine the size and location of any remaining population, but no evidence of the species’ presence in the area was found.
		Even though the presence of Phascogales could not be confirmed, any knowledge about the species is essential.
		Although now highly fragmented, the habitat on the Western Slopes is still suitable, and once scientists have found a good solid population, habitat protection may help their young to recolonise the area.

	Phascogale
		It seems that most places where the red-tailed phascogale is found have not been burned for 20 years so there is a good number of large hollow trees providing potential nest sites and plenty of dense foliage for protection and foraging.
		The red-tailed phascogale live in hollow tree trunks (often Wandoo and Eucalypt) which provide nests which they line with grass and feathers, in small communal nesting groups, which they shelter in during the day.
		Brush-tailed Phascogales being arboreal (tree dwellers) they eat insects, spiders, ants, beetles, centipedes even cockroaches, mainly found on trunks and branches of rough-barked trees and fallen logs, usually during the night.

		Cover: A Brush-tailed Phascogale Phascogale tapoatafa with a group of Sugar Gliders Petaurus breviceps that are feeding on honey.
		Phascogales were found to mainly use nestboxes in the absence of suitable natural tree hollows.
		Phascogales appear to be patchily distributed through the forest and in very low density due to the lack of suitable tree hollows.

		Not just a pretty face and a bushy fl tail, brush-tailed phascogales (Phascogale tapoatafa) are small, ferocious and agile hunters with an amazing life history.
		"Brush-tailed phascogales have been recorded within most of the regrowth forests we've surveyed on the coast, most with a recorded history of regular timber harvesting from as early as the 1920s," Justin said.
		Phascogales use many different den sites as they move through their large home range.

		In order to ensure the continued survival of such a variety of native animals it is essential that their habitat is preserved as far as possible.
		Scientists believe that phascogales are a species that could become threatened with extinction in the near future.
		Phascogale populations are able to support a population of predators and normally a balance exists between numbers of predators and prey.

		The litter size for the Brush-Tailed Phascogale is usually around 3 to 8 babies.
