Mating by a pair of wild spotted-tailed quolls was captured in a series of still images on a motion camera at the Windsor Tableland, far north Queensland. Typical of dasyurids, the mating was prolonged (5.75 h), although shorter than that usually described for captive quolls. Surprisingly, mating commenced shortly before dawn, and continued into mid-morning in an exposed location on the rainforest floor. The mating resulted in a distinctive, cleared circular area on the forest floor, similar to that described in captive situations. This may be a useful, if short-lived trace, for identifying the presence of mating quolls.

A population of wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was regularly monitored from November 1996 to April 2022, using mark–recapture as part of a longitudinal epidemiological study into two Australian rabbit biocontrol agents, rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) and myxomatosis. A female rabbit, first captured as a subadult on 26 October 2009, was recaptured 16 times before its final capture on 19 February 2019. The longevity of this rabbit, from its calculated birth date to the date of its last capture, was 9.5 years. This is a record lifespan for a wild European rabbit – acknowledging that such longevity might be specific to our site in temperate South Australia. It exceeds our previous reported record from the same site by 2 years.

Wildfires are considered a major risk to the threatened broad-toothed rat (Mastacomys fuscus mordicus), a native murid rodent. Kosciuszko National Park is an important stronghold for the species, raising concern regarding the impact of the 2019–20 fires on populations occurring in this area. Sixty-two burnt sites known to be occupied by the species in 2016–17 were revisited. One year after the fires, little evidence of the broad-toothed rat was found, with its distinctive scats located at just 8% of sites. All these sites had some unburnt vegetation present. In contrast, 80.4% of 51 unburnt sites had evidence of the broad-toothed rat in both the pre- and post-fire surveys. Two years following the fire, scats were found at 42% of burnt sites, predominantly occurring within grassland (n = 23), with three in forested habitat. Three years following the fire, the scats were detected in 66% of sites, comprising 30 in grassland, 11 in forested gully and the first in lower slope shrubland. Based on the recovery trajectory, it is likely that in subsequent years (with the absence of fire or the adequate management of other competing threats) all remaining previously occupied sites may be re-populated.
