Perameles bougainville ssp. fasciata

Perameles bougainville fasciata was endemic to the Australian mainland. It is thought to have disappeared from the mainland by the 1930s. The clearance of natural vegetation and other habitat modification by European settlers along with accidental poisoning through efforts to control rabbits, the effects of introduced predators such as foxes and domestic cats contributed to the extinction of this subspecies.

The Shark Bay subspecies of the western barred bandicoot (Perameles bougainville bougainville) is one of Australia’s rarest mammals, currently surviving only as two wild populations on Bernier and Dorre Islands off Shark Bay, and as several small, captive populations on the mainland (Maxwell et al. 1996). The three original mainland subspecies, P. b. fasciata, P. b. notina and P. b. myosura are all extinct, due mainly to predation by cats and foxes, and modification of vegetation by rabbits and livestock (Maxwell et al. 1996). On semi-arid Bernier and Dorre Islands, wild P. b. bougainville mainly inhabits scrub associated with coastal sand dunes. The mainland captive population at Dryandra Nature Reserve used in this study inhabits open wandoo and powderbark woodland. The western barred bandicoot is the smallest bandicoot, with adults weighing 170–290 g (Friend and Burbidge 1995).

While we are not revising P. myosuros, P. notina or P. fasciata in this study, as we are awaiting to recover someDNA sequences first, our results do show that they are sufficiently distinct (little to no overlap in size andmorphology) to warrant being re-elevated to full species.

First fossil record of Perameles fasciata from New South Wales and Queensland: reassessment of Perameles sobbei.

The first fossil record of the Liverpool Plains striped bandicoot, Perameles fasciata, is presented. Since this species was split from its west coast counterpart, Perameles bougainville, no fossil record had been reported. Perameles fasciata is found in five fossil sites in Queensland and New South Wales, all Pleistocene in age. Perameles sobbei, described from the Darling Downs in Queensland, is found to be a junior synonym of P. fasciata, based on morphometrics and diagnostic morphological features. A morphological phylogeny finds that P. fasciata is more closely related to Perameles nasuta, Perameles pallescens and Perameles gunnii than P. bougainville. Perameles fasciata was likely more widespread in the Pleistocene, but by the Holocene had only survived on the Liverpool Plains in New South Wales until its extinction in the 1860s, probably as a result of land clearing and the introduction of foxes. While P. bougainville has been translocated in New South Wales, P. gunnii, which co-occurred with P. fasciata, is a better ecological analogue because of it is similar size, morphology and phylogenetic affinity.
