Resting disparity in quoll semelparity: examining the sex-linked behaviours of wild roaming northern quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus) during breeding season
JL Gaschk, K Del Simone… - Royal Society …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Semelparity is a breeding strategy whereby an individual invests large amounts of resources
into a single breeding season, leading to the death of the individual. Male northern quolls …

Immunosenescence in a captive semelparous marsupial, the red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura)
Background The red-tailed phascogale is a 'Near Threatened'dasyurid marsupial. Males are
semelparous and die off shortly after the breeding season in the wild due to a stress-related …
