Start, A.N., Moro, D., Adams, M. & Bencini, R. (2006) Dunnarts from Boullanger Island: New evidence and reassessment of a taxonomic issue with resource implications. Australian Mammalogy, 28, 51-58. These authors have shown that the dunnart on Boullanger Island is not distinct from typical mainland Sminthopsis griseoventer.
