	Student maps marsupial behaviour
		Securing the survival of the Julia Creek Dunnart (Sminthopsis douglasi), a carnivorous marsupial, is in the hands of several scientists including a USQ Masters student, Alice Bjursell.
		’s project is to determine a key or formula to identify when the dunnart is in oestrous - and able to breed - from it’s behaviour alone.
		Alice said at present scientists were forced to examine the dunnart by hand daily which was difficult as the animal had sharp, carnivorous teeth and felt threatened when handled.

		It shelters from the heat in a small nest of grass and leaves built under logs, rocks or in deep cracks in the soil.
		It is thought that the range of the Dunnart may have expanded since European settlement as they have adapted well to changes brought about by land clearance.
