Abstract: Resource competition is an important interaction that can structure ecological communities, but is difficult to demonstrate in nature, and rarely demonstrated for large mammals including marsupials. We analysed 10 years of population survey data to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/zo16047
Abstract: Abstract. Dispersal reduces the likelihood of inbreeding and maintains gene flow among populations. Many polygynous mammals exhibit male-biased dispersal with female philopatry. Previous observational studies of eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) suggested female philopatry while… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/zo16051
Abstract: Abstract. Animals exhibit a range of dispersal strategies that impact on the organisation of individuals and can be influenced by both the environment and population demography. We examined the fine-scale spatial genetic structure and patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13104-018-3969-2
Abstract: ObjectivesThe genetic diversity of an eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) population surrounded by landscape barriers was examined. DNA was extracted from tissue samples from 22 road-killed kangaroos, and blood samples from four live captured kangaroos.… read more here.

STEROIDAL SAPONIN TOXICITY IN EASTERN GREY KANGAROOS (MACROPUS GIGANTEUS): A NOVEL CLINICOPATHOLOGIC PRESENTATION OF HEPATOGENOUS PHOTOSENSITIZATION

DOI: 10.7589/2017-03-066
Abstract: Abstract: We describe the clinicopathologic features of a mortality event characterized by blindness and dermatitis affecting eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus), secondary to hepatogenous photosensitization. Affected animals exhibited photophobic behavior, blindness, ataxia, recumbency, lethargy, ear… read more here.
