The yellow-footed antechinus is a marsupial has a rare and unusual mating behavior known as 'male semelparity.'
In the latest paper, the scientists found that if this marsupial experiences warmer temperatures during the early stages of its life, it may be less capable of adapting to and surviving the winter.
Stawski and colleagues then monitored various factors such as body mass and the activity levels of the animals. In the second test, the initial temperature in the chamber began at 14 degrees Celsius and was reduced to 10 degrees after three hours. This has significant implications for the yellow-footed antechinus given temperatures in Australia are expected to rise with climate change, according to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation —an Australian government agency.
