The particle-size distributions of the ingesta of the sacciform forestomach in free-ranging animals of a grazing macropod species [Macropus eugenii (tammar wallaby)], a grazer/browser [Macropus parma (parma wallaby)], a browser/grazer [Petrogale penicillata (brush-tailed rock-wallaby)] and a browser [Wallabia bicolor (swamp wallaby)] from Kawau Island, New Zealand, were compared with those of captive animals maintained on a standing ryegrass (Lolium perenne) sward. Nutrient digestibility was also measured in tammar and parma wallabies fed ryegrass or browse, i.e. fresh mahoe (Melicytus ramiflo

Abstract:
The temporal association between drinking and feeding in four captive tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii Desmarest) maintained on various foods is examined. Tammars maintained on cubed carrots never drank. In tammars fed pellets food-associated drinking took place and 77.5% (7.4, s.e.) of drinking episodes commenced within 60 s of the beginning or end of a feeding event. Drinking events occurred singly, were of short duration and increased in frequency but not duration, when low-quality pellets were fed. Food- associated drinking in the tammar may result from the induction of drinking episodes

Abstract:
Marsupial mammals show extraordinary karyotype stability, with 2n = 14 considered ancestral. However, macropodid marsupials (kangaroos and wallabies) exhibit a considerable variety of karyotypes, with a hypothesised ancestral karyotype of 2n = 22. Speciation and karyotypic diversity in rock wallabies (Petrogale) is exceptional. We used cross species chromosome painting to examine the chromosome evolution between the tammar wallaby (2n = 16) and three 2n = 22 rock wallaby species groups with the putative ancestral karyotype.

Abstract:
Surveys of two wallaby species on Kawau Island, New Zealand, indicated that their distribution was stable so as to permit niche partitioning. Multivariate analysis of environmental factors associated with the relative distribution of tammar and parma wallabies suggested that their distribution may be influenced by the availability of fresh water. Tammar wallabies have greater renal size, mass and relative medullary area than parma wallabies and thus may have greater renal water-conserving capabilities. The tammar colon is significantly longer than that of the parma wallaby and the water conten

We investigated the effects of a ground, pelleted diet versus natural forage on the gross morphology of the gastrointestinal tract of a medium-sized (5–7 kg body mass) macropodid marsupial, the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii).

Similarly, the body-mass-adjusted length of the tammar wallaby caecum and proximal colon combined was 25% longer in animals maintained on the pelle

In the present study, male and female tammar wallabies were immunised with whole tammar wallaby sperm in adjuvant.

The tests were used to monitor the immune response to whole sperm in both male and female tammar wallabies.

With the accelerating recognition of the power of comparative genomics, there is now enormous interest in sequencing the genomes of a broad range of species. Marsupials diverged at an important evolutionary time.

A tammar wallaby BAC library was constructed using pRazorBAC vector. It contains 55 296 clones with an average insert size

Abstract:
Androgens induce the differentiation of the urogenital sinus (UGS) to form a prostate. An early marker of this response is upregulation of the transcription factor Nkx3.1 in the urogenital epithelium in the precursors of prostatic buds. In tammars, prostate differentiation begins ~3 weeks after birth and after the time the testis starts to secrete androgens, and 2 weeks after androgen stimulated Wolffian duct differentiation. The reason for this delay in prostate differentiation is unexplained. Androgen receptors are present in the UGS, and the potent androgen, androstanediol, induces prostati

Abstract:
Microsatellites are simple repetitive DNA sequences that are used as genetic markers throughout the biological sciences. The high levels of variation observed at microsatellite loci contribute to their utility in studies at the population and individual levels. This variation is a consequence of mutations that change the length of microsatellite repeat tracts. Current understanding suggests that most mutations are caused by polymerase slippage during DNA replication and lead to changes of a single repeat unit in length, but some changes involving multiple repeats can also occur.

As a representative of Australian marsupials, the recently sequenced genome of a model kangaroo, the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) provides unique opportunities to understand the organisation and evolution of the genome in marsupials, and in mammals in general.

The general aims of this thesis were to examine the extent to which part of the genome has been conserved in marsupials and in therian mammals, as well as to expl

Abstract In this study we investigated the energy efficiency of kangaroo locomotion as a function of hopping speed. We tracked the motion of the joints and body segments of the Tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) using high-speed digital capture. Kinematic observations revealed that the height of the wallaby’s jump is uncoupled from its velocity for the speed ranges measured. Computing internal torques at the joints during the stance phase revealed a back and forth pattern of torque flow between the lower and upper links.
