Publication date 2016 ISSN 0035-922X Keyword(s) Swan Coastal Plain Pseudomys albocinereus Tarsipes rostratus Sminthopsis ash grey mouse monitoring Summary Although long term monitoring can provide land managers and researchers with insights intofaunal changes there are few such programmes in Australia, and many conservation actions areimplemented without assessment of their biodiversity benefits or costs. This study investigatedthe current status of native small mammals in the Boonanarring Nature Reserve (BNR), WesternAustralia, aiming to compare the contemporary distribution of mammals to those recorded 26 yearsago.Of particular importance is the evidence that no small mammal species have been lost from thereserve in the last 26 years; Pseudomys albocinereus, Tarsipes rostratus and Sminthopsis (sp)p. wererecorded in both years’ surveys. Records of P. albocinereus in this study are significant as theyconfirm the persistence of the species on the Dandaragan Plateau, whereas on the adjacent SwanCoastal Plain the species has not been recorded since 1987.Overall, the persistence of small mammals in this reserve, unlike the nearby reserves on the SwanCoastal Plain (SCP), could be attributed to the mix of vegetation types within the reserve and thelarger size of Boonanarring Nature Reserve. However, deficiencies in the monitoring programmewere identified. There is a need to improve the long-term monitoring of small mammals within theBNR with long-term, repeat-measures, analysis and reporting.
