| The tammar wallaby is the Australian marsupial model for genetic mapping studies. |
|
| Interestingly, the honey possum belongs to the same marsupial taxonomic division as the dichromatic tammar wallaby. |
|
| The islands are nature reserves and provide refuges for such diverse wildlife as Cape Barren geese, sea lions, tammar wallabies and death adders. |
|
| Extensive mapping of the Y chromosome in the tammar wallaby had shown that the origin of the Y predated the divergence of marsupials from eutherian mammals. |
|
| Then see tammar wallabies, brush-tailed possums and kangaroos at their most active on a nocturnal tour from American River. |
|
| Scientists from the University of Melbourne, leading an international research collaboration, have succeeded in sequencing the genetic makeup of the tammar wallaby. |
|
| As well as understanding the unusual biological characteristics of these marsupials, the study reveals that the tammar kangaroo shares a gene with humans the scientists involved did not know humans had. |
|
| The text is followed by several detailed images of the stripe-faced dunnart and the tammar wallaby, the latter at both mature and earlier stages. |
|
| Tammar wallabies that live on the well-lit landscape of Australia's largest naval base muddle the timing of their natural breeding season. |
