|

Relatively cool, wet, undisturbed rainforests at elevations above 600 m. The Rusty Antechinuses prefers an abundance of tree hollows, which it uses for shelter, sometimes with several individuals sharing a hollow. Hollows are typically located in midto upperstrata of the forest and are lined with leaflitter, lichens, and moss.

The Rusty Antechinus forages from ground level into the tree canopy for moths, beetles, spiders, cockroaches, flies, worms, and even small vertebrates, including frogs and skinks. It also consumes carrion.

|
||
Rusty Antechinuses follow the typical antechinus reproductive pattern where increased activity in both sexes signifies onset of highly synchronized breeding, which concludes with death of all males in a population. Across the distribution of the Rusty Antechinus, mating is from late May to July, and thus births occur from late June to August. Nevertheless, at any given site, mating and births occur across a shorter 2-3 week period. An average of 4-2 young is raised in the pouch, which contains six nipples. Young are weaned in December—January, in time for peak insect abundance and coinciding with increased temperature and moisture at that time ofyear.

The Rusty Antechinus is unusual in being active mostly during the day, and it is noteworthy that they share parts of their distribution with two larger species of antechinuses, the Atherton Antechinus (

|
||
The Rusty Antechinus typically has a home range of 1-2 ha. Because there is annual die-off of males, most male-female interactions are concentrated around the short and intense breeding period.

Classified as Least Concern on The [UCNRed List. Despite having a small distribution, the high density of the Rusty Antechinus throughout a largely protected distribution suggests its immediate status is secure. Nevertheless, Rusty Antechinuses depend on high-elevation rainforest, so warming and drying anticipated in the Wet Tropics over the next 30 years associated with global warming may threaten its long-term security. Lesser sooty-owls (7yto multipunctata), moreporks (Ninox novaeseelandiae), and domestic and feral cats are known to prey on the Rusty Antechinus. Analysis of regurgitated pellets from roosting sites of lesser sooty owls indicates that the Rusty Antechinus is only a rare component of the owl’s diet, particularly compared with its congener, the Atherton Antechinus. Both species of antechinuses are found in similar numbers where they co-occur, so the largely diurnal activity pattern of Rusty Antechinuses probably explains why nocturnal predators only rarely capture them.
