Its unusual, but probably ancient, pollinators are tiny honey possums.

Honey Possums disappear after a hot fire and only re-colonise the area after several years.

It attracts pygmy and honey possums in the garden.

She also started working on honey possums, in collaboration with Ron Wooller.

The honey possum is mainly nocturnal, but will come out to feed during daylight in cooler weather.

The honey possum, Gilbert's dunnart and the red-tailed phascogale are present.

A single marsupial species, the honey possum, feeds on nectar and pollen exclusively.

The honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus) also visits the flowers.

Australian heathlands are also home to the world's only nectar-feeding terrestrial mammal: the honey possum.

The honey possum can also use its prehensile tail (which is longer than its head and body combined) to grip, much like another arm.

Its pollinators include bees, honey possum, silvereye and honeyeaters, particularly the western spinebill.

Several species of honeyeater visit the flower spikes, as does the honey possum, which has an important role as a pollinator.

The honey possum might also employ the idea, the authors speculate in PNAS.

His research interests range from a long term ecological study of the honey possum to various functional morphological studies particularly of birds and marsupials.

Calothamnus gracilis is an important food source for the tiny Honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus).

Most of the time, honey possums stick to separate territories of about one hectare (2.5 acres), outside of the breeding season.

One such study is investigating the ecology of the honey possum (Tarsipes), a marsupial with a number of unusual reproductive traits.

Mammals include tiny honey possums (which feed on nectar of the kangaroo paw flowers), and the endangered western quoll.

Mammals include the honey possum and the southwestern pygmy Possum, both of which feed on nectar from the wildflowers.

Dryandras produce an abundant quantity of nectar that is a precious food resource for Honey Possums and honeyeaters.

This reproductive system known as the embryonic diapause, is found in honey possums, bats and seals as well as the other macropods.
