	Honey Possum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus) or Noolbenger is a tiny Australian marsupial weighing just five to 10 grams—about half the size of a mouse.
		It is currently classified as the only member of the genus Tarsipes and of the family Tarsipedidae, but many authorities believe that it is sufficiently distinct to be more properly raised to a separate superfamily within the Diprotodontia, or perhaps even further.
		It is one of the very few entirely nectarivorous mammals; it has a long, pointed snout and a long, protusible tongue with a brush tip like a honeyeater or a hummingbird.

	Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: Honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus)
		The distribution of Tarsipes rostratus is restricted to the sandplain heathlands, shrublands, and open low woodlands with heath understory that patchily surround Australia's arid center.
		The biology of this animal is linked to the distribution and flowering patterns of nectar producing flowers, and flowering plant species-richness is directly related to numbers of Tarsipes individuals.
		It gathers it with its 2.5cm bristled tongue, scraping it onto its upper canines and lower incisors.

		The Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus) or Noolbenger is a tiny Australian marsupial weighing just 5 to 10 grams— about half the size of a mouse[?].
		It is currently classified as the only member of its genus and of the family Tarsipedidae, but many authorities believe that it is sufficiently distinct to be more properly raised to a separate superfamily within the Diprotodontia, or perhaps even further.
		When food is scarce or in cold weather, it becomes torpid to conserve energy.

		The impact of fire on the honey possum Tarsipes rostratus in the Fitzgerald River National Park, Western Australia
		The honey possum Tarsipes rostratus is a tiny (7 - 12 g) highly specialised flower-feeding marsupial endemic to the south-western corner of Australia.
		The impact of fire on this small mammal was studied, over a 19-year period, in the Fitzgerald River National Park, a large (330,000 ha) area of relatively undisturbed heathland/shrubland, rich in the proteaceous and myrtaceous plants upon which the honey possum appears to rely for food.

		Opportunistic breeding in the polyandrous honey possum, Tarsipes rostratus
		Honey possums, Tarsipes rostratus, tiny (7–12 g) flower-dependent marsupials, were trapped in three areas of south coastal heathland in Western Australia on 5–8 occasions each year from 1984 to 1995.
		rostratus females are polyandrous and that the smaller males compete by searching for females in oestrus.

		Like many species, the Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus) is adversely affected by large and intense fires which result in complete or near complete landscape burn-out (Richardson and Wooller 1991; Burrows and Friend 1998).
		The Honey Possum is of particular interest to Professor Bradshaw because of its low reproductive rate which puts it on the ‘soon to be’ endangered list.
		The common brushtail, western ringtail and honey possums are tree dwellers, sheltering in hollows that are formed in very old trees.

	Honey Possum - BIRD
		The Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus) is a tiny marsupial weighing just 5 to 10 grams — not much more than half the size of a mouse.
		One of the very few entirely nectarivoruos mammals, it has a number of unusual adaptations to its favoured habitat, the low-growing heathy scrub of the south-west corner.

	Biodiversity Hotspots - Southwest Australia - Unique and Threated Biodiversity
		Several other bird species are near threatened or rapidly declining in the face of habitat loss, modification and fragmentation or inappropriate fire regimes.
		This hotspot has roughly 60 native mammal species occurring, of which 12 are endemic, including the mouse-sized, nectarivorous honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus), the only representative of the family Tarsipedidae, which lives only in the coastal plain heaths of Southwest Australia.
		Another interesting endemic is the quokka (Setonix brachyurus, VU), a small, furry wallaby confined to the mainland, where it has been declining in numbers, and two small offshore islands (Rottnest Island and Bald Island).

		Relationships Among Families of Diprotodontia (Marsupialia) and the Phylogenetic Position of the Autapomorphic Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus)
		Among possums and gliders, there was strong support for a petauroid clade that includes Pseudocheiridae (ringtail possums), Petauridae (sugar glider, striped possums), Acrobatidae (feathertail possums), and the monotypic family Tarsipedidae, which is represented by the highly specialized and autapomorphic honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus).
		Other prior hypotheses for the phylogenetic placement of the honey possum were rejected by statistical tests.

		The front cover features a extremely cute honey possum with his nose well and truly in the trough of a Scarlett Banksia - or a tarsipes rostratus on a Banksia coccinea, in botanist parlance.
		Dorothy said that the photograph, taken by Dr Steve Hopper, was staged - the honey possum was temporarily detained and then let loose for the photograph - but having been let loose on the Banksia, he lost no time in getting in for a big feed.
