Subfossils suggest worse-than-realised losses of small-bodied mammals in northern Australia Open
Context Examining Australia’s late Quaternary subfossil record can be valuable in assessing whether the current diversity of small-bodied mammals seen across some parts of northern Australia is ‘normal’. Such records are important for esta…

Bone collagen from subtropical Australia is preserved for more than 50,000 years Open
Ancient protein studies have demonstrated their utility for looking at a wide range of evolutionary and historical questions. The majority of palaeoproteomics studies to date have been restricted to high latitudes with relatively temperate…

Conservation implications of a new fossil species of hopping-mouse, <i>Notomys magnus</i> sp. nov. (Rodentia: Muridae), from the Broken River Region, northeastern Queensland Open
The Australian hopping-mouse Notomys includes 10 species, eight of which are considered extinct, vulnerable, near-threatened or endangered. Here we report a new fossil species from the Broken River Region, northeastern Queensland. Notomys …

Interim report on the vertebrate deposits recovered from the Capricorn Caves, Rockhampton, Queensland Open
Late Pleistocene to Holocene-aged microfaunal assemblages are rarely reported in Australia despite their critical importance for palaeoecological studies, as well as their bearing on the megafaunal extinction debate. Capricorn Caves, centr…

<i>Urrayira whitei</i> gen. et sp. nov.: a dasyuromorphian (Mammalia: Marsupialia) with incipient zalambdodonty from the Middle Pleistocene of Queensland, Australia Open
Urrayira whitei gen. et sp. nov. is described based on dental remains from middle Pleistocene cave sites at Mount Etna, Queensland. Its higher-level systematic affinities are unclear but it appears to be a dasyuromorphian. It is unusual in…

Fossil Uromys (Rodentia: Murinae) from central Queensland, with a description of a new Middle Pleistocene species Open
The first fossil species of Uromys (Giant Naked-tailed Rats) is described, as well as the southern-most records of the genus based on palaeontological data. Uromys aplini sp. nov. lived during the Middle Pleistocene in the area around Moun…

Late Quaternary fossil vertebrates of the Broken River karst area, northern Queensland, Australia Open
Two new fossil deposits from caves of the Broken River area, northeast Queensland, provide the first regional records of vertebrate species turnover and extinction through the late Quaternary. Fossil assemblages from Big Ho and Beehive Cav…

Shifting faunal baselines through the Quaternary revealed by cave fossils of eastern Australia Open
Fossils from caves in the Manning Karst Region, New South Wales, Australia have long been known, but until now have never been assessed for their palaeontological significance. Here, we report on late Quaternary faunal records from eight c…

Short-tailed mice with a long fossil record: the genus<i>Leggadina</i>(Rodentia: Muridae) from the Quaternary of Queensland, Australia Open
The genus Leggadina (colloquially known as ‘short-tailed mice’) is a common component of Quaternary faunas of northeastern Australia. They represent a member of the Australian old endemic murid radiation that arrived on the continent somet…
