Australia's native rodents are the most ecologically diverse family of
Australian mammals. There are about 60 living species - all within the subfamily
Murinae - representing around 25 per cent of all species of Australian mammals.
They range in size from the very small delicate mouse to the highly specialised,
arid-adapted hopping mouse, the large tree rat and the carnivorous water rat.
Native Mice and Rats describes the evolution and ecology of this much-neglected
group of animals. It details the diversity of their reproductive biology, their
dietary adaptations and social behaviour. The book also includes information on
rodent parasites and diseases, and concludes by outlining the changes in
distribution of the various species since the arrival of Europeans as well as
current conservation programs.
