Using sophisticated genetic technology and 100-year-old museum specimens, we uncovered a new planigale species.

Scientists have discovered that the kultarr – one of Australia’s most elusive marsupials – is actually three different species.
Antechinuses are tiny marsupials famous for their intense sex lives. Now, researchers have documented another unusual behaviour – the cannibalism of their own species.
The tiny, mouse-like planigales are some of the smallest marsupials around – and there are two more species of them than anybody realised.
A new list of 404 Australian mammal species is a crucial conservation step in the face of the ongoing extinction crisis.
One mammal, the long-tailed planigale, can weigh less than a 10-cent coin. But it’s ferocious, bringing down far larger prey with persistent, savage biting to the head and neck
The sugar glider is an icon of the Australian bush. But discovering it’s actually three distinct species has big consequences for its conservation.
