  Mulgara - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mulgaras are the two species in the Dasycercus genus.
They are marsupial carnivores closely related to the Tasmanian Devil and the quolls that lives in deserts and spinifex bush of central Australia.

The mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) is listed as PRESUMED EXTINCT on the schedules of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act.
One of the rarest marsupials in Australia the Mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) is known to live here as do over 180 bird species and many lizard species.
The Mulgara Dasycercus cristicauda is a small native carnivore that inhabits the arid sandy regions of Australia.

Effects of cover reduction on mulgara Dasycercus cristicauda (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae), rodent and invertebrate populations in central Australia: Implications for land management
This study investigates the effect of cover reduction on the mulgara, Dasycercus cristicauda, a small marsupial classified as vulnerable to extinction, which occurs in areas of central Australia dominated by hummock grasslands.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Zoology
Eight species of dasyurid marsupials have been typed for the electrophoretic mobility of 18 of their enzymes and proteins.
The species were the Ningbing antechinus (Pseudantechinus sp.), Pseudantechinus macdonnellensis (formerly Antechinus macdonnellensis), Parantechinus apicalis (formerly Antechinus apicalis), Parantechinus bilarni (formerly Antechinus bilarni), Antechinus stuartii, Dasykaluta rosamondae (formerly Antechinus rosamondae), Dasycercus cristicauda and Planigale maculata.
The data suggest that its nearest relative is Dasycercus cristicauda.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Simpson desert (AA1308)
Species endemic to this ecoregion include the grey grasswren (Amytornis barbatus) and the kowari (Dasycercus byrnei), which is listed as vulnerable on the 2000 IUCN Red List (Hilton-Taylor 2000).
In a study on the northern parts of the region McFarland (1992) found that only 3 percent of the total number of fauna species recorded in the region were classified as rare or threatened.
However a high number of mammal species, 14 percent of the total mammalian fauna, are considered regionally or globally threatened, including the greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis VU), hairy-footed dunnart (Sminthopsis hirtipes), dusky hopping mouse (Notomys fuscus VU), mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda VU), and kowari.

In this study, two examples demonstrate that using Bayesian statistics to incorporate basic ecological principles and prior data can be very cost-effective for increasing confidence in ecological research.
The first example is based on examining the effects of an experimental manipulation of the habitat of mulgara Dasycercus cristicauda, a marsupial of inland Australia.
The second example is based on observational mark–recapture data to estimate the annual survival of the European dipper Cinclus cinclus, a passerine in France.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Great Victoria desert (AA1305)
Diversification in habitat results in high lizard density: in a portion of the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia up to 9 different species of geckos may overlap, with species utilizing a wide variety of food and habitats (sandridges, rocky breakaways, and salt lakes) (Van Oosterzee 1991).
Several threatened mammals, the endangered sandhill dunnart (Sminthopsis psammophila), the endangered marsupial mole (Notoryctes typhlops), and the vulnerable mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) still occur within the region (Strahan 1995).
Australia has experienced nearly half of the world’s mammal extinctions within the past 200 years, with most of the extinctions concentrated in drier interior regions of the continent (Short and Smith 1994).

CALM researchers are at the stage where it is now possible to assess capsule acceptance/rejection by the range of local species potentially at risk from feral cat baiting programs.
Examinations of bait acceptance/rejection by Mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda) and Dibbler (Parantechinus apicalis) at Perth Zoo have commenced.
