Savanna Gliders part 1 episode information

Dr Alyson Stobo-Wilson and Dr Teigan Cremona joined us for this episode.

They contributed to an article for the Conversation about the Savanna Glider, which is considered a new and separate species from other gliders. Alyson's PhD thesis on the ecology of the savanna glider can be found here. You can also read the abstract (and more if you gain access) from this research journal article about why savanna gliders needed to be recognised as a new species, another article  about their range, an article contrasting how that range is shrinking (in comparison with changes in the range of brushtail possums) and this one about the tree hollows that the savanna glider uses.  

Also catch Alyson with the savanna gliders in this video on ABC iView (The Wonder of Marsupials, Episode 3, go to 45 and a half minutes into the episode, and this and another video from the Territory Wildlife Park showing savanna gliders, and you can hear the noise they make by catching this Wildcare NT Facebook Post or going to ABC iView and finding The Kimberley, Season 1, episode 3 (go to about 5 and a half minutes in). That is the episode Alyson referred to in our podcast. You can also try this direct link if it still works.
