	Dasyuromorphia
		Most carnivouous marsupials belong to the order Dasyuromorphia, including the quolls[?], dunnarts[?], Numbat, Tasmanian Devil, and the recently extinct Thylacine.
		The primary specialisation among marsupial predators is that of size: prior to the massive environmental changes that came about with the arrival of humans about 50,000 years ago, there were several very large carnivores, none of them members of the Dasyuromorphia and all of them now extinct.
		Those that survived into historical times ranged from the wolf-sized Thylacine to the tiny Long-tailed Planigale which at 4 to 6 grams is less than half the size of a mouse.

	Wikipedia: Numbat
		The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is an endangered small marsupial native to western and southern Australia with a number of unique features.
		The Numbat is the sole member of the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families that make up the order Dasyuromorphia, the generalised marsupial carnivores.
		The old common name for the Numbat, Banded Anteater has fallen into disuse, but was unusually appropriate: the Numbat does have a series of 5 to 7 white bands crossing its lower back and rump, and it does eat ants, although only accidentally: its primary, almost exclusive, diet is termites.

	ANIMAL BYTES - Order Dasyuromorphia
		The fossil history of Dasyuromorphia is from the middle Miocene to Recent in Australasia and indicates the presence of many more species in the past than exists today.
		The larger species, such as the quolls, are found predominantly in tropical forests and wooded areas, whereas the smaller Dasyuromorphia are distributed throughout the terrestrial habitats of Australia and New Guinea.
		Even the smallest of the genera are highly efficient predators feeding on a diet of insects, lizards, small birds and mammals.

	Evolutionary Biology - Phylogeny of Marsupials based on phosphoglycerate kinase DNA sequences
		The Diprotodontia has a low level of inter-sequence variation in comparison to the other Australian lineages, possibly explaining the failure to separate the members of the Phalangeridae and Petauridae, although this may also be due to the scoring of a pseudogene in one species.
		The amount of sequence divergence within the Dasyuromorphia is substantial, presenting a striking contrast to the low variability of the Diprotodontia.
		This emphasises that efforts to conserve the evolutionary potential of the marsupials should fully consider the genetic diversity represented by the Dasyuromorphia, as well as their more conspicuous relatives.

	Planigalinae - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The subfamily Planigalinae contains the planigales and the ningaui: very small marsupial carnivores native to Australia which are, like the quolls[?], antechinuses[?], dibblers[?], Tasmanian Devil, and many others, part of the biological order Dasyuromorphia: the carnivorous marsupials.
		All members of the subfamily are very small, ranging from Giles' Planigale[?] at just over 10 grams to the smallest marsupial of all, the 4.3 gram Long-tailed Planigale.
		Until the improvements in biochemical analysis methods towards the end of the 20th century, very little was known about the relationships between the smaller carnivorous marsupials: it is only in recent years that it has been possible to discover that the Planigalinae are a distinct group within the Dasyuromorphia.

	Print Article: Tasmanian tigers were last of an old Australian family, DNA shows
		Earlier evidence, collected by Dr Richard Thomas, now at the British Museum in London, that Thylacines were dinky-di marsupials, was considered inconclusive because it was based on analysis of a very small stretch of Thylacine DNA.
		Dr Krajewski told the Herald the "key conclusion" is that Thylacines formed their own family in the order Dasyuromorphia, separate from the meat-eating Dasyurid marsupials and insect-nibbling numbats.
		Because numbats are the only members of their family, he warned that if the endangered creatures went the way of the Tasmanian tiger, yet another "large chunk of marsupial biodiversity" would vanish forever.

	Running title: Evolution of neurotrophins in mammals
		Polyprotodonts, including Dasyuromorphia, Notoryctemorphia and Peramelemorphia, have several incisors in the upper and lower jaws.
		These morphological traits suggest that Dasyuromorphia and Diprotodontia are clearly separated groups.
		Peramelemorphia can be associated to either Dasyuromorphia or Diprotodontia but the association of Notoryctemorphia is troublesome since hind limb morphology is unclear.

	Dasyuromorphia - BIRD
		Almost all carnivorous marsupials belong to the order Dasyuromorphia, which includes the quolls, dunnarts, Numbat, Tasmanian Devil, the recently extinct Thylacine, and many others.
		All have three pairs of roughly equal-sized incisors in the lower jaw, and none have the distinctive fused toes that both the herbivore and omnivore groups have.

	WTA - Wildlife Groups
		Monotremes are of great biological interest, as they are the only animals that lay eggs as well as having fur and suckling their young.
		Marsupials are divided into four orders - Diprotodonta, Dasyuromorphia, Peramelemorphia and Notoryctemorphia.
		The Order Dasyuromorphia, consists of about 52 species of carnivores (some of which feed predominantly on insects) ranging from mouse-sized animals to the quolls, numbat and Tasmanian devil.

	Long-tailed Planigale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is rarely seen but quite common inhabitants of the flsoil plains, clay-soiled woodlands, and seasonally flooded grasslands of Australia's Top End.
		Like all members of the Dasyuromorphia, it is carnivorous, living on invertebrates and small vertebrates which they catch by energetic nocturnal hunting through leaf litter and in soil cracks.
		The Long-tailed Planigale has an extraordinary head shape.
