A regional and representative survey of the distribution and habitat associations of spotted-tailed quoll (Dasyurus maculatus maculatus) and eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) was required in Tasmania to determine conservation and reservation status and assist in the development of management recommendations and the national recovery plan.
Spotted-tailed quoll (Dasyurus maculatus) are distributed state-wide in Tasmania but the probability of occurrence varies.
Priority for conservation should be given to spotted-tailed quoll before eastern quoll, on account of their smaller area of core distribution, low population density, small population size, comparative lack of dietary flexibility and forest-dependence.

 Encyclopedia: Dasyuromorphia
Binomial name Thylacinus cynocephalus (Harris, 1808) Thylacine The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Tasmanian Tiger or the Tasmanian Wolf, was a large carnivorous marsupial native to Australia.
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.
Genera Dasyurus Dasycercus Dasykaluta Sarcophilus The subfamily Dasyuridae includes about several genera of small carnivorous marsupials native to Australia: quolls, Kowari, Mulgara, Kaluta, dibblers, psudantechinuses, and the Tasmanian Devil.

The spotted-tailed quoll (Dasyurus maculatus - or tiger cat as it was once inappropriately known) is the second largest of the world's surviving carnivorous marsupials.
Spotted-tailed quolls vary from reddish brown to dark chocolate brown with white spots on the body and tail (unlike eastern quolls which do not have spots on the tail).
Male eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) are about the size of a small domestic cat averaging 60 cm in length and 1.3 kg in weight; females are slightly smaller.

During a field study of carnivorous dasyurid marsupials in subalpine Tasmania, the trapping success for Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii), but not for spotted-tailed quolls (Dasyurus maculatus) or eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus), was significantly lower when winter weather conditions turned to sleet or snow or when deep snow lay on the ground.
Torpor is known to occur in eutherian mammals as large as devils and in a similar-sized congeneric marsupial, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroyi).
Using radiotelemetry, body temperatures of Tasmanian devils and eastern quolls ranging freely in their natural habitat were monitored throughout winter.

 Rainforest Biogeography
The Australian rainforest covers about 90% of the area it occupied when the first Europeans arrived, and much of what remains is now protected.
However, the native fauna and flora are of the Australian rainforest to some extent being menaced by introduced species, for example the American cane toad (Bufo marinus) which, if eaten, poisons the native marsupial cat (Dasyurus maculatus).
Once they have been introduced, pest species such as the cane toad are often virtually impossible to eradicate from the forest; it seems that they will simply remain there forever.
