The ecology and utilisation of Lumholtz's tree kangaroos Dendrolagus lumholtzi (Marsupialia: Macropodidae), on the Atherton Tablelands, far north Queensland.
… and habitat utilisation of Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos in a Type lb rainforest fragment on the Atherton Tablelands and compared this to earlier studies (Procter-Gray 1985, Newell 1999). The two previous studies were both undertaken on the same spatially restricted rainforest type (Type Sb) …

Managing kangaroo grazing for the conservation of grassland and grassy woodland fauna
… counts to investigate the relationship between kangaroos, grass structure, and fauna. I found that: 1) there was a strong negative relationship between the abundance of kangaroos and grass structure (Paper I); 2) high intensity kangaroo grazing had a negative effect on the reptile community …

Biomechanics of Hierarchical Elastic Systems
… efficient recycling of kinetic energy in hopping kangaroos. Elastic energy is also responsible for ultrafast movements; the fastest movements in animals are not powered directly by muscle, but instead by elastic energy stored in a spring. By demonstrating that the power required to generate …
