Nitrogen Requirements of the Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps), an Omnivorous Marsupial, on a Honey-Pollen Diet
Andrew P. Smith,Stuart Green +1 more
TL;DR: Sugar gliders maintained body weight and nitrogen balance on a honey-pollen diet containing only 5.0 mg N · g DMI⁻¹, the lowest yet recorded for a marsupial, providing further evidence for more efficient recycling of amino acids by marsupials.

Estimating the home ranges of sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) (Marsupialia: Petauridae), from grid-trapping and radiotelemetry
TL;DR: The success of the HMM in describing home range appears to be in its ability to depict centres of activity, most appropriate for animals such as sugar gliders which use concentrated but patchily distributed food resources, and consequently display uneven patterns of use of space.

Scat contents of the spotted-tailed quoll Dasyurus maculatus in the New England gorges, north-eastern New South Wales
TL;DR: In 1313 scats of the spotted-tailed quoll Dasyurus maculatus, collected over 5 years from the gorge country of north-eastern New South Wales, the most frequent and abundant items were derived from mammals and a restricted set of insect orders.

Ecology of the rare but irruptive Pilliga mouse (Pseudomys pilligaensis). I. Population fluctuation and breeding season
TL;DR: The study suggested that P. pilligaensis is distributed in disjunct patches of (refuge) habitat within its range except when environmental conditions are favourable, and that it is able to irrupt and become briefly ubiquitous before suddenly declining to a low density and sparse distribution.

Seasonally constant field metabolic rates in free-ranging sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps).
TL;DR: This study is the first to provide evidence for a constant FMR in a small mammal in three different seasons and despite different thermal conditions, and suggests that seasonal changes in climate are compensated for by behavioural and physiological adjustments such as huddling and torpor known to be employed extensively by sugar gliders in the wild.
