Associations ( Anglèis )

fornì da Animal Diversity Web

Primary predators of kultarrs include feral cats and red foxes. Their nocturnal lifestyle and agility help them to avoid many predators. During the day, kultarrs stay in the nest to avoid diurnal predators. Juveniles stay safe in the pouch or nest. When juveniles do leave the nest, they attach to their mother's back.

Known Predators:

  • Red fox Vulpes vulpes
  • Feral cats Felis catus

Conservation Status ( Anglèis )

fornì da Animal Diversity Web

Antechinomys laniger is considered a species of Least Concern by the IUCN. It is widespread, and populations are believed to fluctuate with rain levels. The US Fish & Wildlife service, however, listed this species as endangered in 1970. Over-grazing by cattle and sheep as well as predation by feral cats and red foxes are major threats, and localized extinctions have occurred. Changes in fire regime also negatively affect kultarrs. Protection of land and animal control programs have helped conserve this species. However, additional research on food habits, home range, and movement are necessary for more specific management programs.

Reproduction ( Anglèis )

fornì da Animal Diversity Web

Little is known about mating systems of Kultarrs. It is suspected that olfactory cues are used in mate selection.

Kultarrs are a polyoestrous mammals, and females may enter oestrus up to 6 times during the breeding season. Oestrus cycles occur from July to January and may be photo-dependent. The long breeding season runs from midwinter to midsummer. Breeding females have a supple pouch, elongated nipples, and long red-brown hairs. Males begin spermatorrheoea in May. Kultarrs have 1 to 8 offspring (average 6). Gestation lasts 12 to 17 days. After birth, the young crawl into the pouch, where they remain for 30 to 48 days. Weening occurs at 80 to 90 days of age in captivity. After the breeding season, the female's pouch regresses into a small fold. Kultarrs reach sexual maturity at 11.5 months of age.

Breeding interval: Kultarrs may breed more than once each breeding season.

Breeding season: Kultarrs breed from midwinter to midsummer.

Range number of offspring: 1 to 8.

Average number of offspring: 6.

Range gestation period: 12 to 17 days.

Range weaning age: 80 to 90 days.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 11.5 months.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 11.5 months.

Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization ; viviparous

Female kultarrs feed and protect the offspring in their pouch for 30 to 48 days. After they are weaned, young remain in the nest as the mother forages. When older, they ride on their mother's back as she searches for food.

Parental Investment: female parental care ; pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-independence (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female)

Springbeutelmaus ( Alman )

Verbreitungskarte der Springbeutelmaus

Die Springbeutelmaus (Antechinomys laniger), auch unter ihrem englischen Namen Kultarr bekannt, ist eine Beuteltierart aus der Familie der Raubbeutler (Dasyuridae). Sie bewohnt weite Teile des Landesinneren Australiens.

Beschreibung

Springbeutelmäuse ähneln im Körperbau, obwohl sie Beuteltiere sind, den Springmäusen. Die starken Hinterbeine sind an eine hüpfende Fortbewegung angepasst, die langen Hinterfüße haben ausgeprägte Ballen an den Sohlen. Auch die Vorderbeine sind länger als bei anderen Beutelmäusen. Das lange, weiche Fell dieser Tiere ist auf der Oberseite grau und auf der Unterseite weiß gefärbt, die Schnauze ist verlängert, die Ohren sind groß und nach hinten geneigt. Die Art erreicht eine Kopfrumpflänge von 8 bis 11 Zentimetern und eine Schwanzlänge von 10 bis 15 Zentimetern, wobei die Männchen größer werden als die Weibchen.

Lebensweise

Springbeutelmäuse leben in einer Reihe von Habitaten, darunter Savannen und Grasländer, felsige Gebiete und Wüsten. Sie sind nachtaktiv und ziehen sich tagsüber in Erdhöhlen, Felsspalten oder in dichtere Vegetation zurück. Sie graben keine Baue, übernehmen aber manchmal die anderer Tiere.

Ihre Fortbewegung ist entgegen früheren Meinungen kein Hüpfen mit den Hinterbeinen, sondern eine eher galoppierende: sie springen mit den Hinterbeinen ab und landen auf den Vorderbeinen.

Die Nahrung dieser Tiere besteht hauptsächlich aus Insekten und anderen Wirbellosen, möglicherweise nehmen sie auch kleine Wirbeltiere zu sich.

Fortpflanzung

Weibchen haben keinen permanenten Beutel, sondern entwickeln während der Tragzeit Hautfalten um die sechs oder acht Zitzen. Nach einer kurzen Tragzeit kommen drei bis sechs Jungtiere zur Welt, die die ersten Lebenswochen fest an der Zitze der Mutter angeklammert verbringen. Nach drei Monaten werden sie entwöhnt und mit knapp einem Jahr geschlechtsreif. Die Lebenserwartung wird auf zwei bis drei Jahre geschätzt.

Bedrohung

Aufgrund des dünn besiedelten Verbreitungsgebietes gibt es keine sicheren Angaben über Populationsgröße oder Bedrohungsstand. In manchen Regionen (New South Wales, Queensland) ist die Art aber selten geworden. Die Gründe dafür liegen in der Nachstellung durch eingeschleppte Räuber wie Katzen oder Füchse und in der Umwandlung ihres Lebensraumes in landwirtschaftlich genutzte Flächen.

Systematik

Die Springbeutelmaus ist eng mit den Schmalfuß-Beutelmäusen verwandt und wird manchmal in deren Gattung (Sminthopsis) eingeordnet. Manchmal wird die Art in zwei Arten geteilt, eine westliche (Antechinomys spenceri) und eine östliche Art (A. laniger).

Kultarr ( Anglèis )

fornì da wikipedia EN

The kultarr (Antechinomys laniger) (also called the "jerboa-marsupial" or marsupial jerboa) is a small insectivorous nocturnal marsupial inhabiting the arid interior of Australia. Preferred habitat includes stony deserts, shrubland, woodland, grassland and open plains.[3] The kultarr has a range of adaptations to help cope with Australia's harsh arid environment including torpor similar to hibernation that helps conserve energy.[4] The species has declined across its former range since European settlement due to changes in land management practices and introduced predators.[5][6]

Description

The kultarr is a small carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae with unique morphological features. It is nocturnal, hunting a variety of invertebrates including spiders, crickets and cockroaches. During the day it shelters in a burrows in hollow logs, beneath grass tussocks, at the base of shrubs and trees or cracks in the soil.[3][6] Males weigh between 17-30 grams and 80–100 mm in length. Females are slightly smaller between 14–29 grams and 70–95 mm in length. They have a brown or fawn-sandy color, with a white underside.[3][5][6] The kultarr has a long tail with a distinctive dark brush-like tip. The muzzle is sharply pointed and the eyes and ears are particularly large; the eyes have dark rings around them.[5][6] It has distinguishing elongated hind legs having four toes similar to macropodids. The hind legs are designed for a bipedal or hopping style movement,[7] used to evade predators and catch prey such as insects.[6][8] Kultarrs have been recorded moving at speeds of 13.8 km/h in open country.[9]

Taxonomy

The kultarr is the sole member of the genus Antechinomys of the family Dasyuridae.[5] Originally collected by Sir Thomas Mitchell in New South Wales, it was subsequently described as Phascogale lanigera by John Gould in 1856.

Original illustration of Antechinomys laniger by John Gould 1863

It was then moved into its own genus, Antechinomys, by Krefft in 1867 and in 1888 the species was formally named Antechinomys laniger.[5][10][11]

In 1906 a second species of Antechinomys was described from specimens collected from an expedition to central Australia, classified as Antechinomys spenceri.[10] Extensive discussion regarding the taxonomy of the genus followed. In 1981 it was proposed that Antechinomys was not distinct enough from Sminthopsis; subsequent isozyme and mitochondrial analysis proved the theory to be incorrect.[10] A. laniger laniger and A. laniger spenceri are now accepted as being subspecies with minor morphological differences, both occurring in different geographic ranges.[5] A. laniger laniger occurs in eastern Australia while A. laniger spenceri is found in western and central Australia.[3][5] Morphological differences include A. laniger spenceri being paler in colour and heavier compared to A. laniger laniger.[3]

Distribution

The kultarr occurs across a vast area of semi-arid and arid Australia but has since declined from parts of its former range[5] and is now uncommon with populations suffering seasonal fluctuations.[6] The kultarr has disappeared from Victoria and southern New South Wales at the Murray-Darling junction.[3][10] Populations in south-east South Australia, Cedar Bay in north Queensland and western Queensland have also disappeared.[5]

Populations in the Northern Territory and Western Australia appear to be stable.[5] Kultarr populations around Cobar in western New South Wales continue to persist, being regionally important for conservation of the species.[5][10] Recent sightings of kultarrs occurred in 2015 at Nombinnie Nature Reserve in Central Western NSW. These sightings are significant as the species has not been sighted in the area for over 20 years.[12]

Ecology and behavior

Semi-arid woodlands

Life cycle and reproduction

The lifespan of kultarrs in the wild is unknown however in captivity they can live up to 5 years.[5][13] The kultarr has distinct geographical variations in breeding seasons. Breeding and the onset of estrus occurs in the second half of the year in eastern populations with western populations occurring slightly later.[10][14] Males are sexually mature at 9–10 months and females at 11–12 months. Female are polyestrous, having the ability to enter estrus multiple times in a breeding season.[5] The kultarr has a crescent shaped pouch consisting of small folds of skin with six to eight teats. The young are carried in the pouch for up to 20 days, after this they hold on to the mother's back whilst she forages or are left in the burrow.[5]

Hummock grassland

Both subspecies have different numbers of teats with A. laniger laniger having eight and A. laniger spenceri having six. This can be used to differentiate between the two subspecies. Captive breeding and rearing of kultarr is problematic and difficult.[5][15]

Home range and movement

Gibber plains
Australian plague locust Chortoicetes terminifera (CSIRO)

Kultarrs migrate between different locations throughout the year, meaning local populations numbers can vary depending on seasonal fluctuations. Populations can decline in response to good rain with kultarrs preferring drier seasons.[5] Movements and home ranges of kultarrs vary with movements of up to 1,700 m per night for males and 400 m per night for females. Kultarrs disperse and negotiate a variety of different habitat types to forage from vegetated areas and open bare ground.[10]

Diet

The kultarr is predominantly insectivorous, its diet consisting largely of species including spiders, cockroaches, crickets and beetles. Additionally, kultarrs are also known to prey on other species of dasyurids.[3][13]

The digestive tract of the kultarr has been described,[16] as have the digestibilities of captive feeding regimes,[17] and the rates of passage of different dietary items through their digestive tracts.[18]

Habitat

The kultarr occupies a range of different habitats preferring sparsely vegetated areas. Habitats include claypans, gibber plains, stony deserts, savannas, hummock (Triodia sp.) and tussock grasslands, woodlands and shrublands.[3][6][10] Regional variation in habitat preference occurs with the western subspecies preferring stony, granite plains dominated by Acacia, Eremophila, and Cassia species. Eastern subspecies prefer sparsely vegetated clay pans in acacia woodlands.[3][6][10]

Torpor as an adaptation

The kultarr is an Endotherm having a high metabolic rate, to conserve energy the kultarr enters into a state of torpor where the body temperature is reduced similar to hibernation. The body temperature drops to 11 °C reducing the metabolic rate by 30% conserving energy and reducing water loss.[4][19] Torpor occurs in the evening-early morning, lasting between 2–16 hours.[4][19] Species that enter torpor are referred to as heterothermic endotherms.[4] Other species of Dasyriuds in arid Australia use torpor and is an adaptation to combat limited resource availability.[4] The benefits of torpor include having an extended lifetime; this is advantageous in the harsh arid environment enabling recovery of populations after stochastic weather events such as flooding or drought.[4] Torpor is also used during the breeding season to ensure breeding success even during poor seasons.[4]

Threats to survival

Habitat degradation

Fox (Vulpes vulpes)

Changes in land management practices since European settlement has resulted in catastrophic declines of terrestrial fauna species throughout arid Australia.[20][21] Habitat degradation occurs through overgrazing by introduced species such as rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), sheep (Ovis aries), and cattle (Bos taurus). Cattle can trample and destroy vegetation, damaging soil structure and reducing deep cracks that reduces nesting and shelter sites for the kultarr.[5][10]

Floods

Predation by cats and foxes

Kultarrs are threatened by introduced predators such feral cats (Felis catus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Good rainfall results in ecosystem pulses in arid regions, allowing predators to increase their numbers,[22] therefore predation on kultarrs increases.[10] Kultarrs are also predated by native species such as native owls and snakes.[10] However cats differ from native predators as they are recreational hunters and continue to prey on species even when prey numbers are low.[23] Domesticated cats on cattle stations have also been reported as preying on kultarrs.[14][24][25]

Flooding

Wild fires (CSIRO)

Populations of kultarrs experience significant decline due to the impacts of flooding, causing the mortality of individuals through drowning and flooding of burrows.[26] The impact is exacerbated if kultarr populations are isolated, hindering re-colonisation.[20] The destruction of kultarr habitat is also a consequence of severe flooding.[10]

Fire

The cessation of indigenous fire-stick farming and the reduction of patch-mosaic burning in arid Australia since European colonisation have caused increased severity of large-scale wildfires.[21][27] Contributing to the decline of suitable habitat and refuges for the kultarr including tree hollows, fallen logs, Triodia spp. hummocks, shrubs and leaf litter.[20][28]

Insecticides used to control locusts

Insecticide control of the Australian plague locust has been attributed to possible fatalities of species of Dasyriuds from secondary poisoning.[29][30] Kultarrs are particularly susceptible because of their high insect diet, high metabolism and small body size.[29][30] Once locusts are affected by insecticide kultarrs are able to capture and gorge-feed on them easily making them susceptible to poisoning.[29][30]

Conservation and management

Current status

The kultarr is classified as endangered in New South Wales under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995[10] and near threatened in the Northern Territory under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2000.[31] In Queensland it is classified as least concern under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.[32] The kultarr is not classified in South Australia, Victoria or Western Australia.[5] The kultarr is not listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999[10] and listed as least concern on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ‘red list’ of threatened species.[5]

Targeted conservation programs

Fauna monitoring

A detailed recovery plan has been developed for the kultarr by the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service under the ‘saving our species’ program.[5][11][32] Objectives include identifying species distributions and habitat requirements, identifying specific threats to the species, implementing direct management strategies to reduce threats as well as public education to increase the profile of the kultarr. At present there aren't any plans to reintroduce kultarrs into the wild.[5]

Direct management strategies that benefit the species include:

  • Fox, rabbit and feral cat control programs
  • Maintaining patch mosaic burning in the landscape
  • Reducing the stocking rates of livestock on properties and excluding cattle from important kultarr habitat
  • Retention of understory and groundcover plants as well as other elements such as logs and leaf litter
  • Reporting any new sighting of the species.[11]

Kultarr: Brief Summary ( Anglèis )

fornì da wikipedia EN

The kultarr (Antechinomys laniger) (also called the "jerboa-marsupial" or marsupial jerboa) is a small insectivorous nocturnal marsupial inhabiting the arid interior of Australia. Preferred habitat includes stony deserts, shrubland, woodland, grassland and open plains. The kultarr has a range of adaptations to help cope with Australia's harsh arid environment including torpor similar to hibernation that helps conserve energy. The species has declined across its former range since European settlement due to changes in land management practices and introduced predators.

Il s’accommode d’habitats divers - terrains boisés, régions broussailleuses semi-désertiques-; cette gerboise marsupiale chasse les petits invertébrés la nuit. Pour bondir, elle prend appui sur ses pattes postérieures à quatre doigts et retombe sur ses pattes de devant. Ses oreilles sont grandes et ses yeux cernés de noir ; son museau est pointu, son corps trapu, son pelage fauve ou brun sur le dos et blanc sur le ventre.

Description

L'adulte mesure de 17 à 20 cm de long pour un poids de 20 à 30 g. Le mâle mesure généralement 1,5 cm et pèse 10 g de plus que la femelle[1].

Alimentation

Il se nourrit principalement d'araignées, de blattes et de grillons[1].

Antechinomys laniger ( Italian )

fornì da wikipedia IT

Il kultarr (Antechinomys laniger Gould, 1856) è un piccolo mammifero marsupiale che si muove con grande agilità attraverso i boschi e la boscaglia semi-desertica, balzando sulle zampe posteriori allungate ma atterrando su quelle anteriori. Il manto del kultarr è fulvo chiaro o bruno, con parti inferiori bianche, occhi e orecchie grandi e una coda lunga, sottile e munita di pennacchio. Notturno di natura, può scavare rifugi poco profondi e occupare crepe o tane di altri animali.

Caratteristiche fisiche

  • Lunghezza del corpo: 7–10 cm
  • Coda: 10–15 cm
  • Status: rischio minimo
  • Gestazione:12 giorni

Habitat

Il kultarr vive nella zona che comprende l'Australia meridionale e centrale. Questo piccolo mammifero marsupiale non ha un particolare tipo di habitat poiché vive indifferentemente nel bosco, nella prateria e nel deserto.

Nutrimento

Il kultarr si ciba prevalentemente di insetti e piccoli roditori. Per le prede più grandi degli insetti il kultarr usa uno stile di caccia simile a quello del topo marsupaile dalla coda grassa, suo parente. Infatti, caccia balzando sulle prede e dando loro un morso fatale sul collo.

Curiosità

Le popolazioni possono apparire in una località e "sparire" improvvisamente. L'allagamento delle tane degli animali durante le forti piogge potrebbe esserne la causa.

Australische buidelspringmuis ( olandèis; flamand )

fornì da wikipedia NL

De Australische buidelspringmuis of kultarr (Antechinomys laniger) is een buidelmuis uit de geslachtengroep Sminthopsini die voorkomt in de droge binnenlanden van Australië in open, droge gebieden. Het is de enige soort van het geslacht Antechinomys, dat soms met Sminthopsis, zijn nauwste verwant, wordt samengevoegd.

Beschrijving

De Australische buidelspringmuis is een elegante, kleine buidelmuis met lange poten. Vaak springt hij slechts op zijn achterpoten. De dunne, lange staart loopt uit in een donkere borstel. De oren en ogen zijn groot, de bek is puntig. De bovenkant is grijsbruin tot zandkleurig, de onderkant wit. Om elk oog zit een donkere ring. Aan de lange, dunne achtervoeten zitten slechts vier tenen. De kop-romplengte bedraagt 140 tot 145 mm, de staartlengte 90 tot 115 mm en het gewicht 40 tot 100 g.

Leefwijze

Deze solitaire soort bewoont lichte bossen tot halfwoestijnen. Het zoekt 's nachts zijn prooi (ongewervelden als spinnen en sprinkhanen). Het dier bouwt een nest van droge bladeren tussen dichte vegetatie, onder rotsen of in door andere dieren gebouwde holen.

Voortplanting

In de winter en de lente wordt er gepaard; van augustus tot november zijn er jongen in de buidels van vrouwtjes geboren. De populatiegrootte kan sterk fluctueren.

Mindre australisk punghoppråtta ( svedèis )

fornì da wikipedia SV

Mindre australisk punghoppråtta (Antechinomys laniger) är en art i familjen rovpungdjur och den enda arten i släktet Antechinomys.[2] Den förekommer i Australiens centrala delar.[1]

Utseende

Djuret liknar springråttor i utseende men är ett pungdjur. Med de långa bakre extremiteterna har arten bra förmåga att hoppa. Dessutom finns tjocka trampdynor på de bakre fötterna. Även de främre extremiteterna är längre än hos flera besläktade arter.[3] Den långa mjuka pälsen är på ovansidan grå och på buken vitaktig. Kring ögonen finns en mörk ring och på hjässan förekommer en otydlig mörkare fläck.[3] Nosen är långdragen och de långa öronen är riktade bakåt. Denna punghoppråtta når en kroppslängd mellan 8 och 11 centimeter och en svanslängd mellan 10 och 15 centimeter.[3] Hannar är större än honor.[3]

Ekologi

Arten förekommer i olika habitat, däribland savanner och annan gräsmark, öppna skogar, buskmark, klippiga regioner och öknar.[1] Individerna är aktiva på natten och vilar på dagen i bergssprickor, jordgrottor eller bland tät växtlighet. De gräver inga bon men övertar ibland bon av andra djur.[3]

Rörelsesättet påminner om hästens galopp, de hoppar med sina bakre extremiteter och landar på sina främre extremiteter.[3]

Föda

Födan utgörs främst av insekter och andra ryggradslösa djur. Kanske äter de även mindre ryggradsdjur som möss eller ödlor men för uppgiften finns bara obekräftade berättelser.[3] Vid matbrist faller individerna ibland i dvala (torpor).[3]

Fortplantning

Honor har ingen permanent pung (marsupium) utan utvecklar hudflikar under parningstiden. Dessa flikar ligger kring de 4 till 10 spenarna.[3] Efter en kort dräktighet (cirka 12 dagar) föds 3 till 6 ungar som suger sig fast vid spenarna. Efter ungefär tre månader slutar honan att ge di och efter nästan ett år är ungarna könsmogna. Livslängden uppskattas med två till tre år.[3]

Hot

På grund av det svårtillgängliga levnadsområdet är det komplicerat att fastställa artens hotstatus och beståndsstorlek. I vissa regioner blev djuret sällsynt (New South Wales, Queensland). Det beror huvudsakligen på införda fiender som rödräv och tamkatt samt av levnadsområdets omvandling till jordbruksmark. Trots allt listas arten av IUCN som livskraftig (LC).[1]

Systematik

Mindre australisk punghoppråtta är nära släkt med arter i släktet Sminthopsis och räknas ibland till detta släkte. Ibland klassificeras den östliga populationen som självständig art, Antechinomys spenceri.[2]

Морфологія

Морфометрія. Довжина голови й тіла: 80—110 мм, довжина хвоста: 100—145 мм.

Опис. Самці за звичай більші за самиці. Верхня частина тіла сірувата, нижня - білувата з сірим при основі волоссям. Навколо очей є темні кільця і темний клапоть по центру лоба. Вуха відносно великі. Хутро довге, м'яке з невеликою кількістю покривного волосся за винятком спини й крижів. Більше ніж половина базальної частини дуже довгого хвоста жовтувато-брунатного кольору. Довжина волосся зростає до кінця хвоста, набуваючи коричневого чи чорного кольору на прикінцевій третині хвоста. Верхя третина кінцівок забарвлена як і тіло; решта 2/3 вкриті коротким тонким білим хутром. На обличчі добре помітні вібриси. Під час сезону розмноження сумка стає досить добре розвиненою у самиць. Вона складається зі складок шкіри, збільшених з боків, щоб частково покрити соски.[2]

Поведінка, розмноження

Мабуть власної нори не копає, натомість гніздиться в колодах, пнях, серед рослинності. Можливо, також використовує нори інших тварин або гніздиться в глибоких тріщинах в землі. Здається, веде суворо наземний і нічний спосіб життя. Природною їжею є комахи та інші дрібні безхребетні. Заціпеніння було експериментально індуковане через утримання від їжі і може бути адаптивним механізмом для вирішення погіршення умов навколишнього середовища в природних умовах. Польові та лабораторні дослідження показують, що існує довгий сезон розмноження. Тварини в південно-західному Квінсленді знаходяться в репродуктивному стані з середини зими до середини літа (липень-січень). Вагітність триває 12 діб чи менше. Самиця може народити до 6 малюків за раз. Відлучення від молока відбувається приблизно через 3 місяці а статева зрілість настає в 11,5 місяців. Тривалість життя в неволі три роки.[2]

Генетика

Каріотип: 2n=14.[3]

Загрози та охорона

Деградація середовища проживання вівцями і великою рогатою худобою, хижацтво з боку котів і лисиць є головними загрозами для цього виду. Крім того, місця існування змінюються в зв'язку зі зміною режимів пожеж через поселення європейців.[1]

IUCN 3.1 Least Concern: 1581

Сумчатый тушканчик (Antechinomys laniger) — единственный вид рода сумчатых тушканчиков. Обитает в лесистых местностях и в полупустынях, покрытых кустарниками, в центральной и южной части Австралии.

Классификация

Сумчатый тушканчик впервые был описан в 1856 году английским орнитологом Джоном Гульдом (англ. John Gould), который включил его в состав рода мышевидок. Впоследствии вид был классифицирован в составе рода Sminthopsis, пока на основе молекулярных исследований не подтвердилось, что этот вид принадлежит к самостоятельному роду сумчатых тушканчиков, или Antechinomys, который был описан в 1867 году австралийским зоологом Джерардом Креффтом (англ. Gerard Krefft).

В прошлом в роде сумчатых тушканчиков зачастую выделялись два вида: Antechinomys laniger (или восточноавстралийский сумчатый тушканчик) и Antechinomys spenceri (или центральноавстралийский сумчатый тушканчик). Последний из них недавно был переклассифицирован в подвидовый статус. Латинское слово laniger означает «шерстистый».[1]

Распространение

Сумчатые тушканчики довольно редкий вид, встречающийся в засушливых районах Австралии. В последние годы ареал животного резко сократился. Небольшие популяции в районе бухты Седар в Квинсленде и в южной части Нового Южного Уэльса в настоящее время вымерли.

Сумчатые тушканчики встречаются на пустынных равнинах, покрытых глинистыми отложениями или пустынной коркой; ограниченные популяции обитают на территории солончаков.[2]

Описание

Длина тела сумчатого тушканчика составляет 7—10 см, а длина хвоста достигает 10—15 см. Вес — 20—30 г; самцы имеют большие размеры и вес, чем самки.[1] Отличительные черты сумчатых тушканчиков — удлинённые четырёхпалые задние ноги и торчащие уши. Цвет верха колеблется от желтовато-серого до песчано-коричневого; низ белый.[1] Волосяной покров длинный и густой.

Образ жизни

Период активности сумчатых тушканчиков — ночь. В дневное время они прячутся в своих наземных норах.[2] Плотоядны: питаются преимущественно наземными беспозвоночными, в том числе пауками, тараканами и сверчками. Передвигаются не прыжками, как считалось ранее, а скорее галопом: сначала они подпрыгивают задними лапками, а затем приземляются на передние.

Размножение

Период размножения длится с зимы до весны. Выводковая сумка развивается в период размножения, открывается назад, имеет 6—8 сосков. Молодняк (3—6 детёнышей), как правило, появляется на свет в августе—ноябре. Детёныши отлучаются от груди через три месяца. Половая зрелость наступает через год. Продолжительность жизни — 2—3 года.
