On 1-5-14, a male Diana monkey made contact with a lion in an adjacent exhibit through the barrier fence in the separation moat. The monkey lost the lower half of its arm to the lion, and the arm had to be amputated at the shoulder. This primate has lived in this enclosure since July, 2009 and was only observed entering the moat on two occasions that first year, and none since that time until this incident. The enclosure was not adequate to prevent the primate from being injured. The facility has corrected this citation by placing hot wires at the edge of the primate side of the moat, hardware cloth mesh over the moat fence on the primates side, and electifying the new secondary separation fence on the lions side. Measures are also in place to report and take actions if animals go into the moat. Exit briefing conducted with facility representatives.

  • Antipredator Behaviour of Red-Necked Pademelons: a Factor Contributing to Species Survival?
    Animal Conservation (2002) 5, 325–331 © 2002 The Zoological Society of London DOI:10.1017/S1367943002004080 Printed in the United Kingdom Antipredator behaviour of red-necked pademelons: a factor contributing to species survival? Daniel T. Blumstein1,2, Janice C. Daniel1,2, Marcus R. Schnell2,3, Jodie G. Ardron2,4 and Christopher S. Evans4 1 Department of Organismic Biology, Ecology and Evolution, 621 Charles E. Young Drive South, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1606, USA 2 Cooperative Research Centre for the Conservation and Management of Marsupials, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia 3 Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia 4 Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia (Received 15 January 2002; accepted 17 June 2002) Abstract Australian mammals have one of the world’s worst records of recent extinctions. A number of stud- ies have demonstrated that red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) have a profound effect on the population biol- ogy of some species. However, not all species exposed to fox predation have declined. We studied the antipredator behaviour of a species that has not declined – the red-necked pademelon (Thylogale thetis), and contrasted it with previous studies on a species that has declined – the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii), to try to understand behavioural factors associated with survival. We focused on two antipredator behaviours: predator recognition and the way in which antipredator vigilance is influ- enced by the presence of conspecifics. We found that predator-naïve pademelons responded to the sight of certain predators, suggesting that they had some degree of innate recognition ability.

  • Macropod Herpesviruses Dec 2013
    Herpesviruses and macropods Fact sheet Introductory statement Despite the widespread distribution of herpesviruses across a large range of macropod species there is a lack of detailed knowledge about these viruses and the effects they have on their hosts. While they have been associated with significant mortality events infections are usually benign, producing no or minimal clinical effects in their adapted hosts. With increasing emphasis being placed on captive breeding, reintroduction and translocation programs there is a greater likelihood that these viruses will be introduced into naïve macropod populations. The effects and implications of this type of viral movement are unclear. Aetiology Herpesviruses are enveloped DNA viruses that range in size from 120 to 250nm. The family Herpesviridae is divided into three subfamilies. Alphaherpesviruses have a moderately wide host range, rapid growth, lyse infected cells and have the capacity to establish latent infections primarily, but not exclusively, in nerve ganglia. Betaherpesviruses have a more restricted host range, a long replicative cycle, the capacity to cause infected cells to enlarge and the ability to form latent infections in secretory glands, lymphoreticular tissue, kidneys and other tissues. Gammaherpesviruses have a narrow host range, replicate in lymphoid cells, may induce neoplasia in infected cells and form latent infections in lymphoid tissue (Lachlan and Dubovi 2011, Roizman and Pellet 2001). There have been five herpesvirus species isolated from macropods, three alphaherpesviruses termed Macropodid Herpesvirus 1 (MaHV1), Macropodid Herpesvirus 2 (MaHV2), and Macropodid Herpesvirus 4 (MaHV4) and two gammaherpesviruses including Macropodid Herpesvirus 3 (MaHV3), and a currently unclassified novel gammaherpesvirus detected in swamp wallabies (Wallabia bicolor) (Callinan and Kefford 1981, Finnie et al.

This group of marsupials is the most species rich family within the marsupial order Diprotodontia. Despite significant investigation from previous studies, much of the evolutionary history of macropodids (including their origin within Diprotodontia) has remained unclear, in part due to an incomplete early fossil record.

Experts have identified the distribution of the parma wallaby and the critical management actions required to conserve the species in the long-term. All conservation work being undertaken to conserve the parma wallaby around the state is vital to its recovery. If you are carrying out critical management actions within the species’ habitat, please contact us at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/savingourspecies/contactus.htm Map of parma wallaby distribution Legend Species distribution Threats to this species are outlined at http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10501#threats . The actions listed in the action toolbox are supplementary to NSW legislation, policy and programs and can be used by stakeholders, where applicable, to guide management at a site, regional or state scale. Action toolbox Action description Scale Conduct targeted research to investigate the impacts of feral vertebrate predators at key sites and the likely Site efficacy of control in those areas. Requirements of similar species (e.g. red-legged pademelon) should be incorporated in the design. Encourage landholders to enter into land management agreements that promote the protection of suitable Area habitat - eucalypt forest with dense, shrubby understorey for browsing, and including sensitive grazing to reduce degradation of understorey and shrub layers. Liaise with relevant authorities or landholders undertaking hazard reduction burning to ensure that a mosaic of Area vegetation structures exists in areas occupied by the species.

The wallaby had been seen by the private collection’s local veterinary surgeon initially, and a single intramuscular injection of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (Engemycin® 10% [DD] Solution for injection, Intervet International BV, Netherlands) was adminis- tered, at an unknown dose. This was given approximately two days after initial symptoms of facial swelling and ocular discharge was first noticed by the owner of the collection, the animal in question was then presented seven days after the initial clinical signs were rec- Abstract ognised to ourselves.

    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA T.J. DAWSON, E. FINCH, L. FREEDMAN, I.D. HUME, MARILYN B. RENFREE & P.D. TEMPLE-SMITH 1 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA 2 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA EXTERNAL CHARACTERISTICS The Metatheria, comprising a single order, Marsupialia, is a large and diverse group of animals and exhibits a considerable range of variation in external features. The variation found is intimately related to the animals' habits and, in most instances, parallels that are found in the Eutheria. Useful general references to external characteristics include Pocock (1921), Jones (1923a, 1924), Grassé (1955), Frith & Calaby (1969), Ride (1970) and Strahan (1983). Body form In size, the marsupials range upwards from the Long-tailed Planigale, Planigale ingrami, a small, mouse-like animal weighing only around 4.2 g, with a head- body length of 59 mm and a tail 55 mm long. At the other extreme, there are large kangaroos, such as the Red Kangaroo, Macropus rufus, in which the males may weigh as much as 85 kg and attain a head-body length of 1400 mm and a tail of 1000 mm. Body shape also varies greatly. The primarily carnivorous marsupials, the dasyurids (for example, antechinuses, dunnarts, quolls, planigales and others), are small to medium sized quadrupeds with subequal limbs. The tail is relatively slender and generally about half the length of the body. The omnivorous peramelids show increased development of the hind limbs in keeping with their rapid bounding locomotion. Saltatory or hopping forms (for example kangaroos and wallabies), carry the hind limb specialisation to an extreme, with a concomitant reduction of the forelimbs (Fig.
