Adrenocortical functions in a macropodid marsupial Thylogale billardierii
In a study of adrenocortical functions in macropodid marsupials, measurements were made of the effects of ACTH infusion, ether stress and adrenaline infusion on plasma corticosteroid and glucose concentrations in wallabies (Thylogale billardierii) provided with indwelling venous catheters.

Helminth parasites were examined from 4 Hypsiprymnodon moschatus, 18 Aepyprymnus rufescens, 13 Thylogale stigmatica, 13 Onychogalea unguifera, 2 0.
The helminth community of T. stigmatica was extremely diverse and was dominated by helminths specific to Thylogale spp.
The helminth communities of the various host genera showed little similarity to one another, even in the case of host species that were broadly sympatric.

 Dorrigo National Park - Native animals
Red-necked wallabies (Thylogale thetia) are also very common within the rainforest areas.
Red-legged pademelons (Thylogale stigmatica) and long-nosed potoroos are also found in the rainforest, but are less common.
Four species of climbing possum are recorded in the park, including the common grey brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecular), the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus caninus), which appears almost fl in colour, the ringtail possum (pseudocheirus peregrinus) and the pygmy-possum (Cercartetus nanus).

 Genetic variation in browsing resistance of <i>Eucalyptus globulus</i>: implications for resistance breeding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Once a genetic basis to browsing resistance of a plant species has been demonstrated and the plant characteristic that confers resistance has been identified, then there is the potential to breed for that plant character and consequently for resistance.
We aimed to examine the genetic variation of browsing resistance of Eucalyptus globulus to the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) and the Tasmanian pademelon (Thylogale billardierii.
We assessed browsing damage in a Eucalyptus globulus base population comprising 563 families and assessed animal preferences in a feeding trial in captivity.

Thylogale stigmotico (stig.mat'-ik-ah: "pricked pouched-weasel", referring to faint (pricked out as with a pin on paper) markings on neck and hip)
In the northern part of its range the Red-legged Pademelon feeds mainly on the fallen leaves of rainforest trees; in the more southern parts, it includes more grass in its diet.
Red-necked Pademelon makes runways in dense ground vegetation, moving out from these at night to graze in more open areas and to browse on- herbs and soft-leaved shrubs.

Inspection of ground dwelling macropods, both large and small, suggests there is variation but as in Hole 1, variation is not as clear at first as it is for non-macropod ground dwellers and tree dwellers (Tables IX.3.1.1.1 and IX.3.1.2.1).
Bone element distribution for Pademelon (Thylogale thetis), the second prevalent species is examined to verify the trend in bone distribution seen with Brushtailed Rock Wallaby bone.
Pademelon (Thylogale thetis) is represented throughout the site by 85 identified elements.

Globocephaloides macropodis Yorke and Maplestone, 1926, redescribed from specimens from the type host, Mmropus agilis, was also found in Macropus dorsalis, M. giganteus, Petrogale inornata, P. venutula and Thylogale thetis.
Globocephaloides wallabiae Johnston and Mawson, 1939, G. affinis Johnston and Mawson, 1939, and G. thetidis Johnston and Mawson, 1939, are placed as synonyms of G. macropodis.
nov., which differs from Globocephaloides in having a subdivided buccal capsule, was found in Thylogale billardierii, T. stigmatica and T. thetis.

 ! Red-legged Pademelon ! Tropical Rainforest, Far North Queensland Australia
They are often thought to be solitary animals, with feeding in groups only due to sharing of the resource, and are reported to scatter when alarmed rather than bunching together as the more gregarious macropods do (Lindsey 1998).
However, this is countered by observations of 'Red-legged Pademelons' Thylogale stigmatica in North Queensland that seem to operate in groups, complete with dominant individuals and guards that sound perimeter alarms (Chambers, pers com 1999) by thumping the ground with their big feet (Egerton 1997) much like rabbits.
Breeding occurs all year, with males that are not usually much taller than the females, but may weigh almost twice as much due to more muscle (Egerton 1997).
