phylogeography of the antilopine wallaroo (macropus antilopinus) across tropical northern australia.	the distribution of antilopine wallaroo,macropus antilopinus, is marked by a break in the species' range between queensland and the northern territory, coinciding with the carpentarian barrier. previous work onm. antilopinusrevealed limited genetic differentiation between the northern territory and queenslandm. antilopinuspopulations across this barrier. the study also identified a number of divergent lineages in the northern territory, but was unable to elucidate any geographic structure. here, ...	2016	27878077
differing impact of a major biogeographic barrier on genetic structure in two large kangaroos from the monsoon tropics of northern australia.	tropical savannas cover 20-30% of the world's land surface and exhibit high levels of regional endemism, but the evolutionary histories of their biota remain poorly studied. the most extensive and unmodified tropical savannas occur in northern australia, and recent studies suggest this region supports high levels of previously undetected genetic diversity. to examine the importance of barriers to gene flow and the environmental history of northern australia in influencing patterns of diversity, ...	2014	25035797
separating the influences of environment and species interactions on patterns of distribution and abundance: competition between large herbivores.	1. much recent research has focused on the use of species distribution models to explore the influence(s) of environment (predominantly climate) on species' distributions. a weakness of this approach is that it typically does not consider effects of biotic interactions, including competition, on species' distributions. 2. here we identify and quantify the contribution of environmental factors relative to biotic factors (interspecific competition) to the distribution and abundance of three large, ...	2009	19175695
australia's savanna herbivores: bioclimatic distributions and an assessment of the potential impact of regional climate change.	the future impacts of climate change are predicted to significantly affect the survival of many species. recent studies indicate that even species that are relatively mobile and/or have large geographic ranges may be at risk of range contractions or extinction. an ecologically and evolutionary significant group of mammals that has been largely overlooked in this research is australia's large marsupial herbivores, the macropodids (kangaroos). the aims of our investigation were to define and compa ...	2008	18937565
host-parasite associations of eimeria spp. (apicomplexa:eimeriidae) in kangaroos and wallabies of the genus macropus (marsupialia:macropodidae).	faecal samples from 514 kangaroos and wallabies representing 12 species of the genus macropus were examined for oocysts of eimeria spp. six species of eimeria were redescribed from their type hosts, and on the basis of finding homologous oocysts in the faeces of other macropus spp., host ranges for these coccidia were extended. eimeria hestermani mykytowycz, 1964 is redescribed from m. giganteus (eastern grey kangaroo) and is described from m. fuliginosus (western grey kangaroo), m. rufogriseus ...	1989	2759765
