A topic of perpetual fascination, the kangaroos of Australia
have been the focus of myriad books and documentaries. "Kangaroos
in Outback Australia" focuses on Yathong Nature Reserve, where
three species of kangaroo -- red, eastern grey, and western grey --
overlap and create a unique opportunity for ecological study.
Dale and Yvette McCullough spent fifteen months in Yathong
examining the comparative ecology and behavior of the different
species. The McCulloughs used systematic counts, radio telemetry,
direct observations, and other techniques to characterize and
compare the different species' population sizes, home ranges and
movements, activity patterns, habitat selection, feeding behavior,
and social organization.
The researchers' previous work on the kangaroos' closest
ecological counterparts in North America, the white-tailed and the
mule deer, serves as a subject for comparison and enlarges the
overall scope of the work.
