genetic analysis of a documented population bottleneck: introduced bennett's wallabies (macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) in new zealand.few bottlenecks of wild populations are sufficiently well-documented to constitute models for testing theories about the impact of bottlenecks on genetic variation, and subsequent population persistence. relevant details of the bennett's wallaby (macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) introduction into new zealand were recorded (founder number, source and approximate bottleneck duration) and suggest this may provide a rare opportunity to examine the efficacy of tests designed to detect recent bottlen ...200010849291
dietary partitioning of australia's two marsupial hypercarnivores, the tasmanian devil and the spotted-tailed quoll, across their shared distributional range.australia's native marsupial fauna has just two primarily flesh-eating 'hypercarnivores', the tasmanian devil (sarcophilus harrisii) and the spotted-tailed quoll (dasyurus maculatus) which coexist only on the island of tasmania. devil populations are currently declining due to a fatal transmissible cancer. our aim was to analyse the diet of both species across their range in tasmania, as a basis for understanding how devil decline might affect the abundance and distribution of quolls through rel ...201729176811
sarcocystis mucosa in bennetts wallabies and pademelons from tasmania.macroscopic gastrointestinal sarcocysts were detected in 36 of 270 (13%) tasmanian pademelons (thylogale billardierii) and 47 of 292 (16%) bennetts wallabies (macropus rufogriseus) from january 1995 to march 1996 at onshore and offshore study sites in tasmania (australia). the sarcocysts were characterized using light and electron microscopy. the ultrastructure of the primary cyst wall was consistent with that of sarcocystis mucosa, an apicomplexan parasite commonly found in macropodid marsupial ...19989706570
