Measurement of the rate of protein turnover and synthesis in the marsupial Honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus)
Rates of protein turnover and synthesis were measured in wild-caught Honey possums (Tarsipes rostratus) in the southwest of Western Australia and compared between males and females with and without pouch young. P...

Field metabolic rate and water turnover of the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus)
The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a diurnal and exclusively termitivorous marsupial. This study examines interrelationships between diet, metabolic rate and water turnover for wild, free-living numbats. The n...

Maintenance nitrogen requirement of an obligate nectarivore, the honey possum, Tarsipes rostratus
A nitrogen balance feeding trial was carried out with the marsupial honey possum, Tarsipes rostratus, using four pollen-honey diets varying in nitrogen content from 9.4 mg · g−1 to 2.3 mg · g−1 dry matter. The d...

Water and electrolyte homeostasis and kidney function of desert-dwelling marsupial wallabies in Western Australia
Prolonged drought, necessitating conservation of water, is one of the major environmental challenges faced by many Australian marsupials. Radioactive isotopes of water and sodium were used to assess the abili...

Water and sodium balances and metabolic physiology of house mice (Mus domesticus) and short-tailed mice (Leggadina lakedownensis) under laboratory conditions
A laboratory study investigated the metabolic physiology, and response to variable periods of water and sodium supply, of two arid-zone rodents, the house mouse (Mus domesticus) and the Lakeland Downs short-tail...

Field energetics and the estimation of pollen and nectar intake in the marsupial honey possum, Tarsipes rostratus, in heathland habitats of South-Western Australia
A method is described, based on the simultaneous turnover of both stable (18O) and radioactive isotopes (3H and 22Na), whereby the daily nectar and pollen intake of free-ranging marsupial honey possums (Tarsipes...

Water and sodium requirements of field populations of house mice (Mus domesticus) and short-tailed mice (Leggadina lakedownensis) on Thevenard Island, in the arid Pilbara region of Western Australia
The coexistence of the Lakeland Downs short-tailed mouse Leggadina lakedownensis and house mouse Mus domesticus on Thevenard Island, in the arid north of Western Australia, prompted a study to compare their seas...

Renal function in red wattlebirds in response to varying fluid intake
Red wattlebirds (Anthochaera carunculata) are among the more nectarivorous of the Australian honeyeaters (family Meliphagidae). As such, they potentially ingest large and dilute fluid loads as food, and they pro...
