The identity of the Depuch Island rock-wallaby revealed through ancient DNA

Ancient DNA is becoming increasingly recognised as a tool in conservation biology to audit past biodiversity. The widespread loss of Australian biodiversity, especially endemic mammal populations, is of critical concern. An extreme example occurred onDepuch Island, situated off the north-west coast ofWestern Australia, where an unidentified species of rock-wallaby (Petrogale sp.) became extinct...

Finding the Balance: Fertility Control for the Management of Fragmented Populations of a Threatened Rock-Wallaby Species

Populations of Australian marsupials can become overabundant, resulting in detrimental impacts on the environment. For example, the threatened black-flanked rock-wallaby ( Petrogale lateralis lateralis ) has previously been perceived as overabundant and thus 'unwanted' when they graze crops and cause habitat degradation. Hormonally-induced fertility control has been increasingly used to manage ...

Developing Predictive Models of Behaviour: Do Rock- Wallabies Receive an Antipredator Benefit from Aggregation?

Many species receive an antipredator benefit from aggregation such that animals in larger groups are able to allocate more time to foraging and less to antipredator vigilance. These beneficial ‘group size effects’ must be traded-off against the costs of increased competition for limited resources that may result from aggregation. Certain species, or species living in certain habitats, may be pr...

Gene flow despite complex Robertsonian fusions among rock-wallaby (Petrogale) species.

Complex Robertsonian rearrangements, with shared arms in different fusions, are expected to prevent gene flow between hybrids through missegregation during meiosis. Here, we estimate gene flow between recently diverged and chromosomally diverse rock-wallabies (Petrogale) to test for this form of chromosomal speciation. Contrary to expectations, we observe relatively high admixture among species...

Conserving the Black-flanked Rock-Wallaby (Petrogale lateralis lateralis) through Tourism: Development of a habitat ranking system for translocated animals and the need for on-going management

The Black-flanked Rock-Wallaby (Petrogale lateralis lateralis) was once widespread throughout Western Australia but due to a combination of factors its range has declined significantly and its present distribution is limited to a few widely scattered isolated populations. It is gazetted as vulnerable under Western Australian legislation and requires active management to ensure its survival. Tra...
