DOIAbstract
This study examines the distribution and abundance of the small terrestrial mammal fauna (non-volant, <2kg) in the Northern Kimberley bioregion, Western Australia. This region is considered ‘pristine’ as there have been no known recent mammal extinctions, and cane toads have not yet extensively invaded the region. This study was undertaken on two pastoral stations, Doongan and Theda Stations, which cover a combined area of over 6,650 km² . These stations have never previously been surveyed for the occurrence of small mammals. The investigation describes the presence, abundance and environmental relationships of the small mammal species on these stations. The records obtained in this study fill a significant gap in knowledge of the distribut...
