Abstract
The northern quoll Dasyurus hallucatus has declined rapidly with the spread of the cane toad Chaunus (Bufo) marinus across northern Australia, and is now listed as
endangered nationally. Against a general pattern of rapid decline to local extinction in most northern quoll populations soon after the arrival of cane toads, there have been reports of persistence in some northern quoll populations in areas of Queensland with cane toads. The number, location and extent of such co-existing quoll populations have not previously been examined systematically. Here we report on these populations, through analysis of historical records and substantial and extensive field surveys.
