We measured daily changes in plant water content to see if red kangaroos (Macropus rufus), in foraging at night, may gain more water than foraging by day. If so, it could be influential in dictating their time of foraging. The study was stimulated by work in Africa which showed that, by choosing to feed at night, gazelles are able to take advantage of increased plant water content. Daily changes in water content of 15 known forage plants were examined at Idalia National Park in semi-arid western Queensland in February, April and July 2002, during progressive drying of the country in an extraordinarily dry year. Of 29 day-night comparisons of plant water content, thirteen showed no difference, two (both of red spinach, Trianthema triquetra) showed a substantial increase at night, eight showed small but statistically significant increases, and six showed small but statistically significant decreases. We conclude that the choice of red kangaroos to forage at night is unlikely to be explained by nightly increases in plant water content.

Lactating Females

The kangaroo populations of Kinchega National Park respond differently to shifts in pasture productivity, red kangaroos Macropus rufus being mobile and unevenly distributed with respect to soil and vegetation types, by comparison with the more evenly dispersed western grey kangaroos M. fuliginosus and the sedentary and localized euros M, robustus erubescens. Red kangaroo population classes tend to be differentially distributed, so that large males and heavily lactating females predominate on the seasonally preferred pastures, while other classes tend to predominate elsewhere. This finding has several implications for the management of red kangaroos and for our understanding of their resource ecology and mating systems.

Transferrin Polymorphism

A number of polymorphisms involving characteristics of the blood have been described in Australian marsupials, but the genetical control of these has been established only for variation in the iron-binding serum protein transferrin in the red kangaroo Macropus rufus (Desmarest) (= Megaleia rufa) (Cooper and Sharman 1964), and the eastern and western grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus (Shaw) and Macropus fuliginosus (Desmarest) (Kirsch and Poole 1967). Transferrin variation in the brush-tail possum Trichosurus vulpecula (Kerr), first detected by Kirsch (personal communication), is being studied in this laboratory. The inheritance of the protein patterns developed on a starch gel after electrophoresis may be ascribed to the actions of two or more autosomal allelic genes without dominance.

Macroscopic and microscopic dimensions of the intestines in five macropod species (the red kangaroo, Macropus rufus; the eastern grey kangaroo, M. giganteus; the agile wallaby, M. agilis; the swamp wallaby, Wallabia bicolor; and the red-necked pademelon, Thylogale thetis) were investigated allometrically in relation to body mass. In general, the length of the small intestine changed in an area : volume (A:V) compensating manner, but the circumference showed negative allometry such that the overall change in surface areas, both ground and mucosal (including the contribution of villi), were isometric but also included the coefficient derived from 'Kleiber's Law' (0.75) in their 95 and 99% confidence limits, respectively. Villous height and width generally showed no significant correlations with body size, but villous density was lower in large individuals. The allometry coefficient for the length of the large intestine was generally near the A:V compensating value (0.5) in most intraspecific analyses but much higher in the interspecific analysis, suggesting that some factor other than body size might be important (possibly dietary fibre). Caecal length was significantly correlated with body size only in two largest species (M. rufus and M. giganteus) and the interspecific analysis gave a value near A:V compensation).
