In a subsequent (1983) genetic study on the genus, allozyme electrophoresis indicated ningauis fell into three groups, with large differences between groups (21-32% fixed differences) and homogeneity within groups. One group from the Pilbara of Western Australia was identified as N. timealey; a second group extending from the Kalgoorlie area of Western Australia to the far west of South Australia and north to the Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory was identified as N. rides; a third group extending from the Kalgoorlie area of Western Australia (where it is sympatric with

The Pilbara Ningauiis a ferocious predator. It preys on centipedes and cockroaches, but its prey also includes larger animals that must be subdued with a struggle. In captivity, it eats cockroaches, centipedes, grasshoppers, crickets, and small skinks, but it will ignore beetles and millipedes. Captive Pilbara Ningauis drink water, but in the wild, most water is probably obtained from prey and, if necessary, supplemented by licking dew.

|

Following a good season, sexual maturity of Pilbara Ningauisis attained by late winter, and females have young in the pouch in September-March when most annual rainfall occurs. Females have 4-6 teats arranged in a concentric ring within the pouch, which is a simple depression on the belly lacking fur. Typically, 5-6 young are carried in the pouch to weaning. Young become independent at ¢.2 g in weight.Juveniles are found in trappable populations from late December until May. During the breeding period, males are aggressive toward each other, and females with pouch young will drive away other adults. By March in most years, populations consist predominantly of independent young. Individuals of both sexes can survive to a second breeding season, but adults are likely less mobile than young in autumn. In one study of museum specimens, Pilbara Ningauis reached sexual maturity in their first year, and after the end ofJuly of each year, almost all males were considered reproductively mature. Male Pilbara Ningauis in the active spermatogenic phase were found in August—January; testes had regressed to an immature spermatogenic stage after January. There was no indication that adult males died immediately following mating, as in species of

. In another study, measurements of maximal scrotum width for males trapped in each of five sampling periods suggested that males reached peak sexual developmentin spring (September—October). After this time, malesstill in the population showed a decline in gonadalsize. Young were produced in spring and summer, with pouch young appearing as early as September and females still lactating in late March the following year. Litters consisted of 4-6 pouch young. Individuals caught in March consisted predominantly ofjuveniles; few surviving adults were captured from the previous year. Adults from the previous year were unlikely to have reproduced a second time. By September—October, all Pilbara Ningauis trapped were adults; males had reached peak breeding condition, and some females had developed pouches or were carrying pouch young.

By day, hummocks provide Pilbara Ningauis shelter and refuge; by night, they hunt on the ground in more open spaces, scrambling among branches and stems of shrubs. In captivity, Pilbara Ningauis exhibit alternating periods of activity and inactivity, day and night. In the wild, daylight activity is probably restricted to grooming and defecation within, or near, refuge areas. Interestingly, there is no evidence of torpor.

The Pilbara Ningaui is aggressive when handled and will often bite; it rarely emits an audible noise in captivity. It is often the most commonly trapped mammal in surveys in Pilbara. It is usually caught in pittraps, will enter funnel-traps, and has even been caught in Elliott traps. In one study conducted in the Hammersley Ranges (eastern Pilbara), an impressive 156 individual Pilbara Ningauis were trapped acrossall six localities surveyed.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Pilbara Ningaui has a wide distribution and presumably a large overall population; it does not face any major conservation threats. The Pilbara Ningaui is present in Karijini (= Hamersley Range) and Millstream-Chichester national parks. It is also found in the Meentheena pastoral lease station, which may be converted into a conservation area. In dry years with low reproductive success, Pilbara Ningauis may survive only in pockets of moister habitat refuges, later recolonizing from there.
