...Darren Shelly Four localities within the Warrumbungle National Park were investigated for the presence of the Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby. Direct observation and faecal pellet identification were used to indicate the animal's presence. Results showed that only Chalkers Mountain had the macropods...

... or two of the summit of Cradle Mountain at 1545 m, the highest altitude recorded for M. fuscus within Tasmania. There was a negative relationship between the presence of Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) and M. fuscus at all sites. This is analogous to the absence of tall alpine herbfield...

...Samaa Kalsia; Melanie Edwards; George Wilson ABSTRACT The Parma wallaby Notamacropus parma has an unusual status, being both classified as Near Threatened in Australia yet subject to pest control in areas where it has been introduced. Until 1966, the species was believed to be extinct. In that year...

... events resulted in large numbers of Grey-headed Flying-foxes Pteropus poliocephalus requiring rescue and rehabilitation. Prolonged drought and intense bushfires reduced available foraging resources for the Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby Petrogale penicillata and Mountain Pygmy-possum Burramys parvus...

... typically made by single individuals of species such as the Australian Brush-turkey Alectura lathami and Swamp Wallaby Wallabia bicolor. The results from the second camera-trapping survey undertaken at 24 sites over 6 weeks between October and December 2016 are provided in Appendix 2 and summarised in Table...

... that for two species of kangaroo, the large eastern grey kangaroo ( Macropus giganteus ; liveweight 30-70 kg) and the smaller red-necked wallaby ( M. rufogriseus ; liveweight 10-24 kg), carcase weight loss after 10 days cold storage was negligible. There was no significant effect of species on carcase weight...

... ‘islands’ for conservation purposes. This brief summary of the work undertaken in these predator–proof reserves highlights how threatened species can persist and even thrive when foxes and cats are excluded, with examples from the Bridled Nailtail Wallaby Onychogalea fraenata , Burrowing Bettong Bettongia...

... of the Wallaroo M . robustus) and thick scruh (which is the preferred habitat of the smaller macropods, the Red-necked Wallaby M . mfogrisew and the Swamp Wallaby Wallabia bicolor). Both wallabies are also found wherever there is extensive understorey cover. The Echidna is also ubiquitous, although it seems...

... of perturbations on biodiversity. When the conclusions of research that identified the impact of introduced red foxes Vulpes vulpes on rock wallabies (Kinnear et al. 1988) were questioned on statistical grounds (Hone 1994), a broad-scale impact assessment monitoring program was designed over half a million...

... identified: the Superb Lyrebird Menura novaehollandiae and Rockwarbler Origma solitaria (DAWE 2020). Four invasive species, including the Red Fox, Feral Cat, Common Blackbird Turdus merula and European Rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus were detected. The most common species recorded were Swamp Wallabies Wallabia...

... tree-kangaroo being skinned by Ian Mason at CSIRO Atherton, on the way back from Cape York Peninsula, it struck them as being identical to their sand imprint. The features they considered similar were that the foot was broad and relatively short, broader and shorter than the kangaroo and wallaby...

... for hunting in this country. Of the three dogs poisoned at Wagin, two of them were very good terriers, which would put up bandicoots and wallabies, and could be relied on to point at trees where opossums lived"13 While in Laverton he hired the service of a local with kangaroo dogs to successfully hunt...

... of decline of mammals, distinguishing animals in the size category of the larger native rodents (the first to decline) and those the size of small wallabies (a subsequent decline). His fieldwork indicated an approximate synchrony in decline of medium-sized mammals at two distant locations (Eyre Peninsula...

... of NSW vegetation. From species pairwise interactions at sites, we found only limited evidence for significant interactions, and then only for the co-occurrence of fox-rabbit and fox-swamp wallaby, but no avoidance for any of the predators with each other.
