- W1574277721 abstract "Aspects of the behaviour of a captive group of red-bellied pademelons(Thylogale billardierii), were investigated, concentrating onthree main areas, viz. diel activity-patterns, sexual interactions andagonistic interactions. Some data pertaining to mother-offspringrelationships were also collected.T. billardierii exhibited a marked peak in feeding at around sunset,with other conspicuous peaks occurring late at night and in theearly morning. Conversely, peaks of resting behaviour occurred mainlyat midday and, in general, two distinct peaks were evident during thenight. Locomotory activities were most frequent during the periodimmediately preceding dawn.Grooming behaviour was performed at relatively constant diellevels; however, there was evidence of this activity occurring atgreater frequencies before and after rest periods.Although patterns of the various diel activities were generallysimilar in all of the subjects studied, there were some disparities inthe times of performance of certain behaviours between individual subjects,possibly related to the social structure of the group. Theresults are discussed in relation to what is known of the activity patternsof free-ranging T. billardierii and those of other macropodspecies.As well as indications of temporal variations in behaviourpatterns, there was evidence of spatial-temporal stratification ofcertain behaviours, notably resting activities.Quantitative data were collected on sexual interactions. Maleswere the active participants in these, both in terms of initiating suchinteractions and performing specific and distinctive behaviours withinbouts of sexual interactions. Analyses of behavioural events occurringin the context of anoestrous courting yielded consistent trends with respect to the temporal ordering of activities. Male T. billardieriidid not distribute their attentions equally among potentially availablefemales but evidenced definite preferences for certain individuals.Observed instances of copulation are described and compared withprevious descriptive accounts of the behaviour in this species andin other species of macropods. There was some evidence that accessto oestrous females was determined aprioristically, by the dominancestatusof males.The agonistic behaviour of T. billardierii was also investigated.Generally, linear hierarchies existed within each monosexual group.However, when all subjects were considered together a non-linear organizationwas noted to occur. Position in the individual hierarchieswas related to weight but, at least in the case of female subjects,this was shown not to be the only factor involved. A relatively lowlevel of aggression occurred between female subjects and also inmale-female interactions. Given the relative stability of the socialpositions of individuals and low observed frequencies of dominancereversals,it is suggested that individual recognition (possibly basedon olfactory cues gained by nose-sniffing behaviour) plays a prominentrole in the maintenance of consistent social relationships in captiveT. billardierii.Ritualized fighting behaviour of male T. billardierii is described,and its possible function is discussed. Grass-pulling and other visualdisplays which occur in the context of male-male interactions are describedand their relationship with similar displays occurring inother macropods is considered.In mother-offspring interactions it was found that the young wasprimarily responsible for the maintenance of proximity, but that themother played a greater role in maintaining proximity at largerdistances." @default.
