In Australia the brush-tailed rock-wallaby (Petrogale penicillata) is the subject of a national recovery plan, and several sites have been selected for reintroductions. Condition of wild populations and individual animals can be monitored using hematologic and serum biochemistry analytes, and hematologic variables have been correlated with postrelease survival in other species. Prior to such monitoring, reference values for blood variables are required, but these data have not been available for the brush-tailed rock-wallaby. During four trapping periods from November 2004 to August 2005, 116 blood samples were collected from 44 brush-tailed rock-wallabies in a wild colony in southeast Queensland. Some variables varied with sex, age, method of restraint, lactation demands, and trapping period. After partitioning, when required, reference ranges for hematology and serum biochemistry variables were established. This study provides the most comprehensive serum biochemistry reference range for any macropodid marsupial yet published.
在澳大利亚，刷尾岩袋鼠（Petrogale penicillata）是一项国家恢复计划的对象，并且已经选定了几个地点进行重新引入。可以使用血液学和血清生物化学分析物来监测野生种群和个体动物的状况，并且血液学变量已与其他物种放归后的存活率相关联。在进行此类监测之前，需要血液变量的参考值，但刷尾岩袋鼠尚无这些数据。在2004年11月至2005年8月的四个诱捕期内，从昆士兰州东南部一个野生群体的44只刷尾岩袋鼠身上采集了116份血样。一些变量随性别、年龄、约束方法、泌乳需求和诱捕期而变化。在必要时进行分组后，建立了血液学和血清生物化学变量的参考范围。本研究提供了迄今已发表的关于任何袋鼠科有袋动物最全面的血清生物化学参考范围。
