| revision of the progamotaenia zschokkei (janicki, 1905) complex (cestoda: anoplocephalidae), with the description of six new species. | a review of cestodes currently attributed to progamotaenia zschokkei (janicki, 1905) (cestoda: anoplocephalidae) suggests that six additional species are present: pr. tenuis n. sp. found in thylogale stigmatica (gould) and t. thetis (lesson), pr. lomatosoma n. sp.from macropus agilis (gould), pr. petrogale n. sp. from petrogale spp. and macropus dorsalis(grey), pr. fimbriata n.s p. from lagorchestes conspicillatus gould and l. hirsutus gould, pr. obesa n. sp. from onychogalea fraenata (gould) an ... | 2007 | 17323116 |
| klossiella (apicomplexa, klossiellidae) in petaurid and macropodid marsupials in australia. | six new species of klossiella are described in the kidneys of australian marsupials: klossiella rufogrisei in bennett's wallaby, macropus rufogriseus; klossiella rufi in the red kangaroo, macropus rufus; klossiella thylogale in the red-bellied or tasmanian pademelon, thylogale billardierii; klossiella beveridgei in the spectacled hare-wallaby, lagorchestes conspicillatus; klossiella bettongiae in the tasmanian bettong, bettongia gaimardi; and klossiella schoinobatis in the petaurid greater glide ... | 1985 | 3930707 |
| rate of water turnover and electrolyte balance of an arid-zone marsupial, the spectacled hare wallaby (lagorchestes conspicillatus) on barrow island. | the work reported in this paper describes aspects of the water and electrolyte metabolism of free-ranging spectacled hare wallabies (lagorchestes conspicillatus) on barrow island in western australia. two populations were studied in both spring (october) and summer (march). rates of water turnover were measured in spring with tritiated water and were extreme ly low, approximating 5% of the total body water per day, and these are amongst the lowest rates yet published for any marsupial. urine out ... | 1989 | 2566418 |
| the anoplocephalid cestode parasites of the spectacled hare-wallaby lagorchestes conspicillatus gould, 1842 (marsupialia: macropodidae). | progamotaenia gynandrolinearis sp. nov. is described from the small intestine of lagorchestes conspicillatus gould, 1842 from barrow i., western australia. it is distinguished from other species by the small number of testes arranged in a single transverse row. progamotaenia lagorchestis (lewis, 1914) is redescribed. the name progamotaenia thylogale sp. nov. is proposed for a second species described previously under the name p. lagorchestis. progamotaenia zschokkei (janicki, 1905), progamotaeni ... | 1979 | 489942 |
| water and electrolyte homeostasis and kidney function of desert-dwelling marsupial wallabies in western australia. | prolonged drought, necessitating conservation of water, is one of the major environmental challenges faced by many australian marsupials. radioactive isotopes of water and sodium were used to assess the ability of two species of marsupial wallabies to maintain water and electrolyte balance during periods of extreme water deprivation in the arid pilbara region of western australia. the spectacled hare-wallaby, lagorchestes conspicillatus, has the lowest mass-specific rate of water turnover at 27. ... | 2001 | 11263723 |
| cholangitis associated with species of progamotaenia (cestoda: anoplocephalidae) in the bile ducts of marsupials. | gross and histopathologic changes due to infection with progamotaenia festiva and p. effigia in the bile ducts of the marsupials, macropus rufus, m. giganteus, m. fuliginosus, lagorchestes conspicillatus, vombatus ursinus and lasiorhinus latifrons are described. the integrity of the bile duct mucosa was not impaired but varying degrees of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucosa and mucosal glands, inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis were found. portal fibrosis was the prominent reaction in lasi ... | 1978 | 691133 |
| durikainema macropi gen. et sp. nov. (muspiceoidea: robertdollfusidae). a remarkable nematode from macropodidae (marsupialia). | durikainema macropi gen. et sp. nov. (muspiceoidea: robertdollfusidae) is described from the mesenteric and hepatic portal veins of macropus giganteus shaw 1790, m. agilis (gould 1842) and m. rufogriseus (desmarest 1817) (marsupialia: macropodidae) from queensland, australia. it is also known from histological sections of hepatic portal veins of m. robustus gould 1841, m. fuliginosus (desmarest 1817) and lagorchestes conspicillatus gould 1842. the new genus resembles the enoplina in cephalic and ... | 1982 | 7081889 |
| genetic variation in the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 within three species of progamotaenia (cestoda: anoplocephalidae) from macropodid marsupials. | sequence variation within 3 morphologically defined species of the anoplocephalid cestode genus progamotaenia (p. ewersi, p. macropodis and p. zschokkei) was investigated using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. the magnitude of genetic variation detected within each morphospecies suggests that, in each instance, several cryptic species are present. within p. ewersi, 5 genetically distict groups of cestodes were detected, 1 shared by macropus robustus and m. parryi in queensland, 1 in m. a ... | 2005 | 15700763 |

| a state of non-specific tension in living matter? stress in australian animals. | evidence of stress responses in australian animals is reviewed through a series of case studies involving desert frogs and lizards, small carnivorous marsupials, desert wallabies, a dwarf kangaroo species, the quokka wallaby and a small nectarivorous bird. an operational definition of stress as "the physiological resultant of demands that exceed an animal's homeostatic capacities" is used to identify instances of stress responses in the field, and to gauge their intensity. clear evidence of stre ... | 2017 | 26449159 |
| comparative water metabolism of barrow island macropodid marsupials: hormonal versus behavioural-dependent mechanisms of body water conservation. | seasonal variations in rates of water turnover were measured over a 7-year period in four species of macropodid marsupials (lagorchestes conspicillatus, bettongia lesueur, petrogale lateralis and macropus robustus isabellinus), on barrow island off the arid pilbara coast of western australia. these ranged from over 100 ml kg(-0.82) d(-1) in wet seasons to as low as 28.2 ml kg(-0.82) d(-1) in dry seasons in the spectacled hare wallaby, l. conspicillatus. plasma osmolality increased significantly ... | 2008 | 17720162 |
| hematology and erythrocyte biochemistry of spectacled hare-wallaby, lagorchestes conspicillatus (macropodidae marsupialia). | hematology and the red cell enzymes, metabolites, and rates of lactate production were measured in a small marsupial, the spectacled hare-wallaby lagorchestes conspicillatus. in common with other marsupials of similar body weights, the red cells of this wallaby were found to have low levels of atp and higher levels of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (dpg) and produced no lactate when incubated with inosine. one of the five animals examined was suffering from anemia (hematocrit of 22.0% and hemoglobin con ... | 1993 | 8219115 |
| verification of the structure of the complex sex chromosome system in lagorchestes conspicillatus gould (marsupialia: mammalia). | the complex sex chromosome system of lagorchestes conspicillatus has been reinvestigated using g-banding, hoechst 33258 sensitivity, and ag staining. these investigations demonstrate that, as proposed, three exchanges have been involved in the evolution of this system. an autosome was translocated to the original x and the homologue of that autosome was translocated to the original y. an additional autosome has been translocated to the y. there is no sex vesicle at meiosis in the male, and no as ... | 1981 | 6168442 |
