We collated 1590 eastern quoll occurrence records from the Tasmanian Natural Values Atlas database [].Records were spread across the time period from 1955 to 2009 and included museum specimens, incidental observations and a range of standardised trapping, spotlighting and camera trap surveys. Eastern quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus 1, water opossum or yapok, Chironectes minimus 2. The subspecies that occurs in the ACT and is the subject of this action plan is D. maculatus maculatus, while D. maculatus gracilis is restricted to north-eastern Queensland.

tailed Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus). Males display seasonal cycles of body weight and testes size. Distribution The Eastern Quoll was formerly found across southeastern mainland Australia, however died out on the continent around 1963, but remains widespread in Tasmania. The eastern quoll (or native cat, as it is sometimes called) has two color phases -- ginger-brown or black, both with white spots on the body, but not the tail. The Eastern quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus, is one of the larger members of the family Dasyuridae and is found only in Tasmania. Weather-defined species distribution models for the eastern quoll in Tasmania, showing (A) habitat suitability (logistic output) and (B) core distribution (binary output). Size Species distribution modelling. There are four species of Quoll in Australia, the Eastern Quoll, Tiger Quoll, Western Quoll and Northern Quoll. Hereafter references to D. maculatus or Spotted-tailed Quoll in …

The Quoll is the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial on mainland Australia and the second largest in the world. Only the ‘Tasmanian Devil’ is larger, found on the island of Tasmania off the southern coast of mainland Australia. Distribution and Habitat Lifespan The lifespan of the Eastern Quoll is 4 - 7 years. Projections are a composite of the 720 individual monthly projections between January 1950 and December 2009 (individual monthly projections shown in S1 Video ). Dasyurus Maugei, Dasiuro di Mauge, Chironette yapock. The quoll has a short breeding period with mating occupying two to three weeks of every year.
