Abstract

Describes the construction of an improved spool-and-line mammal-tracking device with a range of 1550 m used in a short-term tracking study of the previously unstudied New Guinea spiny bandicoot. The nightly range size may reach 1.2 ha. For the 5 occasions on which an animal was followed all night, mean nightly distance traveled was 344 m. Three types of nest or refuge are described. E. kalubu forages for invertebrates and fallen fruit. -from Authors
