Habitat influence on activity patterns of brush-tailed rock-wallabies in Queensland

The brush-tailed rock-wallaby (Petrogale penicillata) is a nocturnal refuge dependent herbivore that can be found from south-east Queensland to East Gippsland in Victoria. Brush-tailed colonies are situated many different habitat types, and within this important for their survival. Dingoes coexist with P. penicillata perceived threat. This study aimed determine the link between behaviour interaction predators. Three were studied Little Liverpool Range, Queensland. Images of dingoes camera traps analysed daily activity patterns overlap species. Dingo scats collected predation. results indicated types change predation risk corresponding penicillata. Predation impacted foraging behaviour, rock-wallabies exposed exhibiting greater predator avoidance behaviours than those more protected types. indicate modified according reduce
