| hybridization between tammar wallaby (macropus eugenii) populations from western and south australia. | populations of tammar wallabies (macropus eugenii) occur in southwest western australia and on five australian offshore islands, four in western australia and one in south australia. the south australia and western australia populations have probably been isolated from each other for 50,000-100,000 years. studies have shown that there are morphological and genetic differences between these populations. attempts at mating individuals from garden island (western australia) with individuals from ka ... | 1997 | 9378916 |
| further characterisation of two eimeria species (eimeria quokka and eimeria setonicis) in quokkas (setonix brachyurus). | the identification and characterisation of novel eimeria species has largely been based on sporulated oocyst and sporocyst morphology, the host species and the geographical range. variation in the size and shape of eimeria oocysts across their host range however, make the identification and characterisation of novel species using traditional methodologies alone problematic. the use of molecular markers and phylogenetic analysis has greatly advanced our ability to characterise eimeria species and ... | 2014 | 24508502 |
| sex-linked and autosomal microsatellites provide new insights into island populations of the tammar wallaby. | the emerging availability of microsatellite markers from mammalian sex chromosomes provides opportunities to investigate both male- and female-mediated gene flow in wild populations, identifying patterns not apparent from the analysis of autosomal markers alone. tammar wallabies (macropus eugenii), once spread over the southern mainland, have been isolated on several islands off the western australian and south australian coastlines for between 10,000 and 13,000 years. here, we combine analyses ... | 2014 | 24169646 |
