 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.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Zoology
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).
tapoatafa was substantial, with an average of 13% separating the allopatric populations in south-eastern, south-western and northern Australia.

 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.

 Phascogalinae
The subfamily Phascogalinae includes about 12 very small marsupial carnivores native to Australia and New Guinea: the antechinuses and the phascogales.
Like the quolls[?], the planigales and ningauis, the Tasmanian Devil, and a number of others, they make up part of the biological order Dasyuromorphia: the carnivorous marsupials.
The antechinus group has shrunk considerably in recent years: study of the small marsupial carnivores has led to the realisation that many of the species once classified as "antechinuses" are not as closely related as once thought.

 rush Tailed Phascogale
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 species is found in all mainland Australian states and on a couple of close islands, however is not present in Tasmania.
The number of females that survive to successfully breed in their second year is quite low and estimated to vary between 6 – 16%.

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.

Brush-tailed Phascogale, Common Brushtail Possum, and the Northern Brown Bandicoot are available in all nine land systems but other species vary in the number of land systems they are potentially available in when compared to the whole research area (Table X.2.1: X.4).
Since the distribution of potential availability is the same between the catchments, the average potential availability of Brush-tailed Phascogale and therefore the encounter rate, is the same for both catchments.
Subsequently, Brush-tailed Phascogale would be expected to be represented in both archaeological fauna assemblages with similar minimum number of individuals (MNIs).

Comment: The population of Brush-tailed Phascogales in East Gippsland is probably very small, and may be on the verge of extinction.
No confirmed specimens have been recorded for several decades and the current status is unknown.
As such phascogales are especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and environmental perturbations, including drought and severe wildfire.
