	Animal Info - Red-tailed Phascogale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		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.

	Phascogale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Phascogales (members of the eponymous genus Phascogale), also known as Wambengers, are carnivorous Australian marsupials of the family Dasyuridae.
		There are two species; the Brush-tailed Phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) and the Red-tailed Phascogale (Phascogale calura).
		As with a number of dasyurid species, the males live for only one year, dying after a period of frenzied mating.

	Genus Phascogale or phascogales
		The red-tailed phascogale is an opportunistic feeder, preying on a wide range of insects and spiders, small birds and small mammals.
		Most of the reserves where the red-tailed phascogale is more commonly found have not been burned for many years (20 years or more) and, as a consequence, carry a climax vegetation community which provides it with potential nest sites and with sufficiently dense foliage for protection and foraging.
		Phascogales are solitary, arboreal animals with a cream belly and a conspicuous 'bottle-brush' tail.

		The Brush-tailed Phascogale Phascogale tapoatafa is a medium-sized carnivorous dasyurid that is now considered to be rare in Victoria.
		The Brush-tailed Phascogale or Tuan (Phascogale tapoatafa) is a native carnivorous marsupial, about the size of a large kitten (Head-body length: 150-250 mm), with a fl bottlebrush tail.
		Distribution The Brush-tailed Phascogale is found along the eastern seaboard to the western slopes of the Dividing Range, from southern Queensland to Victoria.

	rush Tailed Phascogale
		The BRUSH-TAILED PHASCOGALE is by far the most arboreal of the dasyurids.
		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 number of females that survive to successfully breed in their second year is quite low and estimated to vary between 6 – 16%.

		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.

	Welcome to Perth Zoo!
		The Brush-tailed Phascogale is a small carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid) with a highly arboreal nature.
		The female raises the young alone within her pouch first, then later deposits them in her nest which is usually made in the hollow of a eucalypt tree.
		The Brush-tailed Phascogale's distribution includes the tropical north of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland, as well as the temperate forests of the south-west of WA, Victoria, north-east NSW and south-east Queensland.

	CSIRO - Farmers save endangered mammal
		The survival of the endangered Red-tailed Phascogale is being bolstered by efforts of WA farmers and Landcare groups.
		Locals in the Wagin region of WA, 200km south of Perth, are joining forces to connect isolated patches of this possum-like mammal's remaining habitat by constructing corridors of native vegetation across their farms.
		Surveys of nature reserves of various sizes indicated that while populations of Red-tailed Phascogales survived in small reserves, their isolation provided the animals little opportunity to move around the landscape, reducing their chance of survival in the long-term.

	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.

		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.

		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.

		Many of the grasses the red-tailed phascogale can commonly be found in contain the chemical monosodium fluoroacetate, which will kill sheep and cattle (from ingesting the chemical when grazing).
		Although much of the food is found foraging in the tall vegetation, the red-tailed phascogale can leap up to 2 meters and easily catch small birds in the canopy.
		It is notable that in captivity, males can live longer if they are permitted to mate in their first year but are isolated the rest of the time.

		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.
		He took a small amount of tissue, blood or hair from several Brush-tailed Phascogales from each area, and from the Red-tailed Phascogale from WA, and then compared one region of the miochondrial DNA.
		The researchers also found that the Brush-tailed Phascogale found in northern Australia was also an entirely separate species from the eastern Phascogale.

		The brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) is considered locally rare and vulnerable, despite being found in all mainland states of Australia.
		Measures of genetic differentiation amongst Phascogale tapoatafa populations in eastern, western and northern Australia were estimated using a partial (348 bp) sequence of mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b gene).
		Thus, Phascogale comprises four highly divergent lineages, suggesting that the genus is more diverse than previously thought.

		Brush-tailed Phascogale has the least number of land systems for which it has an A rating: four (4).
		What this example implies is that to focus on a species just because it is potentially available in all land systems does not mean the species has a high encounter rate.
		As shown for Brush-tailed Phascogale, its encounter rate is lower overall because the four (A) rated land systems’ encounter rate equalises the (C) rated land systems instead of overcoming them.
