... shorter than 120 years, would appear unlikely to provide for the long term hollow needs of arboreal marsupials in this area. ...

... status are also identified. Population Viability Analyses and patterns of historical extinction of marsupial carnivores suggest that even if other pressures are managed, the continued presence of feral populations of eutherian carnivores poses a serious threat to the survival of Australia's marsupial...

... on the western plains (27 species lost, representing 38 per cent of the original fauna) than on the coastal strip or in the Great Dividing Range (losses 4–15%).
