| lesions associated with infestation of a yellow-footed rock wallaby (petrogale xanthopus xanthopus) with larvae of odontacarus (leogonius) adelaideae (womersley) (acarina: trombiculidae) in south australia. | dermatitis associated with natural infestation of a yellow-footed rock wallaby (petrogale xanthopus xanthopus) with larvae of the chigger mite, odontacarus (leogonius) adelaideae is described. this record extends the known host range of o. adelaideae and is the first from a native animal in southern australia. | 1994 | 8028112 |
| understanding historical demographic processes to inform contemporary conservation of an arid zone specialist: the yellow-footed rock-wallaby. | little genetic research has been undertaken on mammals across the vast expanse of the arid biome in australia, despite continuing species decline and need for conservation management. here, we evaluate the contemporary and historical genetic connectivity of the yellow-footed rock-wallaby, petrogalexanthopusxanthopus, a threatened macropodid which inhabits rocky outcrops across the disconnected mountain range systems of the southern arid biome. we use 17 microsatellite loci together with mitochon ... | 2020 | 32023869 |
| population structure of the yellow-footed rock-wallaby petrogale xanthopus (gray, 1854) inferred from mtdna sequences and microsatellite loci. | the yellow-footed rock-wallaby petrogale xanthopus is considered to be potentially vulnerable to extinction. this wallaby inhabits naturally disjunct rocky outcrops which could restrict dispersal between populations, but the extent to which that occurs is unknown. genetic differences between populations were assessed using mitochondrial dna (control region) sequencing and analysis of variation at four microsatellite loci among three geographically close sites in south-west queensland (p. x. cele ... | 1996 | 8873466 |
| seroprevalence of retrovirus in north american captive macropodidae. | laboratory records of serology results from captive macropodidae sampled between 1997 and 2005 were reviewed to assess the seroprevalence of retrovirus exposure. serum samples from 269 individuals (136 males, 133 females) representing 10 species of macropods housed in 31 north american captive collections were analyzed for retrovirus antibody using an indirect immunofluorescent assay. the prevalence of positive antibody titers comparing male versus female, between species, between age groups, an ... | 2008 | 18816994 |
| ultrastructure and motility of spermatozoa in macropodid and potoroidid marsupials. | in order to gain some understanding of the significance of the morphological features of spermatozoa within the macropodoidea, the motility of spermatozoa from two macropodids (petrogale xanthopus and dendrolagus matschiei) and the motility, number and distribution of spermatozoa from three potoroidids (aepyprymnus rufescens, bettongia penicillata and potorous tridactylus) were examined. sperm were collected by electro-ejaculation or from the cauda epididymides. epididymides from the potoroidids ... | 1995 | 8848581 |
| successful transfer of a goodfellow's tree kangaroo (dendrolagus goodfellowi) pouch young to a yellow-footed rock wallaby (petrogale xanthopus) surrogate. | a 47-day-old orphaned goodfellow's tree kangaroo (dendrolagus goodfellowi) joey was successfully cross-fostered onto a yellow-footed rock wallaby (petrogale xanthopus). the joey was subsequently taken for hand-rearing at age 5 months. this is the first report of the cross-fostering technique, well-established in other macropods, being applied to a dendrolagus sp. this technique can be considered as a viable option to raise young orphaned tree kangaroos, and as a tool to accelerate breeding in ca ... | 2015 | 26189660 |
| review of surrogacy program for endangered victorian brush-tailed rock wallaby (petrogale penicillata) with special reference to animal husbandry and veterinary considerations. | a surrogacy program to increase the reproductive rate of the critically endangered victorian brush-tailed rock wallaby (petrogale penicillata), initially developed in semicaptive conditions, was established in close captivity at adelaide zoological gardens in 1998. pouch young were removed from their mothers on days 8-20 or 40-45 after parturition and placed onto the teat of a tammar wallaby (macropus eugenii) or yellow-footed rock wallaby (petrogale xanthopus xanthopus) surrogate mother. during ... | 2006 | 17312809 |
