Macropus dorsalis is a species that has been studied very little, and more biological studies need to be done on the species to get a better understanding of how these animals fit into the ecosystem. This would allow biologists to better manage the population of back-striped wallabies in the future.
Information on communication in this species is scant. M. dorsalis uses vocal communication to maintain contact between individuals when groups are in thick underbrush. Some members of the genus Macropus will growl to alarm predators.
Other forms of communication also play some role in this species. Tactile communication is used in the boxing play of young joeys, as well as in the sparring of adults. It probably also occurs during mating, and it definitely happens between a mother wallaby and her joey. Visual signals such as body postures are probably also important in aggressive encounters, although because of the dense vegetation in the habitat of this species, it can be assumed that visual signals are not used over long distances.
Communication Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
The loss of M. dorsalis has been of some concern in Australia. Much of the land that used to be covered in dense forest has now been cleared for agricultural fields and pastures. This has caused a decline in both the range and population size of M. dorsalis. Management is the key to the survival of black-striped wallabies. Dense forested areas need to be maintained and restored to ensure their survival. Also, allowing the ranchers to hunt them during the dry season when grass is not as abundant would have a smaller impact on the populations than the current hunting regime.
CITES: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
Macropus dorsalis is considered to be a pest. Ranchers have long believed that M. dorsalis has caused the depletion of grass in their pastures. Even though studies have shown that cattle are the main cause of the depletion of grasses in the pastures, the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service allows ranchers to hunt wallabies on their land. Ranchers have also cleared areas of brush, destroying areas for the wallabies to take shelter during the day.
Negative Impacts: crop pest
Macropus dorsalis has not been reported to have any particular positive impact on human economies. However, the genus Macropus is an important animal in zoos across the world. Also, there may be some ecotourism related to these animals, as foreign visitors to Australia like to see macropods in their natural habitat.
Positive Impacts: ecotourism
Macropus dorsalis is an important disperser of seeds. Seeds of monocots upon which M. dorsalis feeds have a higher chance of germination if they have gone through the digestive system of M. dorsalis. Wallabies also help replenish nutrients to the area through their feces. To the extent that this species serves as prey, they affect predator populations.
Ecosystem Impact: disperses seeds
Black-striped wallabies feed mainly on monocot grasses, but also browse on forbs and other shrubs. They have the ability to change diet to eat more shrubs when there is less grass available in the winter. They prefer the soft, leafy part of the plant. M. dorsalis generally feeds during the night in either pastures or open fields.
Plant Foods: leaves; wood, bark, or stems; seeds, grains, and nuts
Primary Diet: herbivore (Folivore )
Macropus dorsalis (black-striped wallaby) is a marsupial that makes its home in Australia. Historically, M. dorsalis was widespread throughout New South Wales and Queensland. Due to the destruction of their habitat, the current range for M. dorsalis is now confined to a small part of northern New South Wales and areas of Queensland.
Biogeographic Regions: australian (Native )
Macropus dorsalis prefers warm, wet summers and dry winters. These wallabies can usually be found in dense areas of vegetation. These areas include dense rainforests, forests with a substantial under story, and areas of regrown brigalow scrub, which provide shelter during the day. Many times, they will be found on the edge of these dense vegetation areas, where they can migrate out into the pastures at night to feed.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; tropical ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: forest ; rainforest ; scrub forest
Other Habitat Features: agricultural
The lifespan of M. dorsalis has not been reported, but information on the genus Macropus reveals that they can live to be 20 years of age in captivity, but may only survive to be 10 years of age in the wild. It is likely that this species is similar to other members of the genus.
Typical lifespan
Status: wild: 10 (high) years.
Typical lifespan
Status: captivity: 20 (high) years.
Macropus dorsalis gets its common name, black-striped wallaby, from the black stripe that runs along the middle of its back. The head and body stand from 100 cm to 159 cm in height, with the tail being 54 to 83 cm in length. Like other members of the Macropodidae, the length of the tail is an adaptation that allows them to balance both when moving and sitting still. The hind legs also tend to be larger and stronger than the front legs, allowing these animals to use a jumping motion for movement. Adult males tend to be three times larger than adult females.
Range length: 100 to 159 cm.
Sexual Dimorphism: male larger
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Average mass: 49500 g.
Humans are one of the main predators of M. dorsalis. Ranchers receive permits to hunt them on their land. The goal of the ranchers is to elimate M. dorsalis from their land, beause these wallabies damage crops and pastures. It is also likely that dingos prey upon this species.
Known Predators:
Details on the mating habits of M. dorsalis are not available in the literature. However, other species in the genus Macropus are polygynous. Males compete for access to females. This competition can become very intense, with injuries occuring to the competitors in the interaction. There have been accounts of females also being injured when males are overly aggressive in pursuing them. Generally, the dominant male in a social group will be the one to mate with the females. Because of the extreme sexual dimorphism in M. dorsalis, it is likely that the mating system of this species is similar.
Mating System: polygynous
The general reproductive behavior of the genus Macropus is interesting in several respects. Like all members of the order Diprododontia, these animals lack a placenta, and so are unable to efficiently provide nutrients and oxygen to a large fetus. They therefore give birth to very altricial young, which are then nursed in a pouch, where they complete their development.
Females in Macropus are reported to be polyestrus. The estrus cycle of most members of the genus is between 28 and 45 days in length. Females may be receptive to males only for a breif time during this cycle. Females of species which have been studied undergo a postpartum estrus, within two days of parturition, and typically conceive at that time.
The breeding season of this species has not been reported. In captivity, births of M. dorsalis have been recorded as occuring in March, September, and October. When a female is not nursing a joey, gestation is short in the genus, ranging from 33 to 35 days. However, the embryo undergoes a diapause if the mother is nursing another offspring when conception occurs. Embryonic dispause happens after the egg is fertilized and the embryo begins to develop, but the development is arrested at around the 70 to 100 cell stage. Because of the short gestation and the need for an empty pouch in which to nurse and incubate a newborn joey, this diapause is highly adaptive. After the first joey leaves the mother's pouch for good, then the embryo in the mother resumes the process of development. Because of embryonic diapause, a mother can rapidly produce a new offspring, should her first joey fail to survive the harsh Australian environment.
Although details are not available for M. dorsalis, other members of the genus weigh less than one gram at birth (Macropus rufus weighs 0.75 g). and it is likely that M. dorsalis neonates are comparably small. The newborn makes its way by squirming from the birth canal to the opening of the pouch, which it enters. Once in the pouch, the young attaches to a nipple. In M. rufus, the young does not let go of the nipple until it is 70 days old, and does not stick its head out of the pouch until it is 150 days old. It may begin to leave the pouch for short intervals by the age of 190 days, and may permanently leave the pouch by about 235 days of age. Within Macropus development seems to take about the same amount of time, despite differences in final adult size, so it is likely that these events are similarly timed in M. dorsalis. Weaning occurs in M. dorsalis between 10 and 12 months of age, and the young become more or less independent at that time. The average age of independence is reported to be 300 days of age.
Males are sexually mature at the age of 20 months, whereas females are sexually mature as young as 14 months.
Breeding interval: These animals are capable of producing approximately one offspring every year.
Breeding season: Breeding season for this species has not been reported, but births are known to take place in March, September, and October.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Range gestation period: 33 to 35 days.

Sex: male: 608 days.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female: 426 days.
Parentla investment in this species has not been documented. However, in Macropus, a great deal is known. After the gestation period, the joey soon finds its way into the mother's pouch where it begins the development process. The mother feeds the joey with her milk while the joey is still confined to the mother's pouch. After 5 to 6 months the joey may begin to leave the pouch for short periods of time, always returning to the mothers pouch. A joey will then begin to spend 1-2 hours a day out of the mother's pouch, and begin feeding on grass four times a day at the age of around 7 months. The joey becomes increasingly independent and spends more time out of the pouch, relies less on the mother for milk, and finally becomes independent by about a year of age. Males have no role in parental care.
Parental Investment: altricial ; pre-fertilization (Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-independence (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female)

Das Rückenstreifenwallaby (Notamacropus dorsalis) ist eine Känguruart aus der Gattung der Wallabys (Notamacropus). Es lebt im östlichen Australien.
Rückenstreifenwallabys erreichen eine Kopfrumpflänge von 53 bis 82 Zentimetern und eine Schwanzlänge von 54 bis 83 Zentimetern. Mit rund 16 Kilogramm sind die Männchen deutlich schwerer als die Weibchen, die nur 6,5 Kilogramm erreichen. Wie bei den meisten Kängurus sind die Hinterbeine deutlich länger und kräftiger als die Vorderbeine, der Schwanz ist lang und muskulös. Das Fell dieser Tiere ist am Rücken graubraun und am Bauch hellgrau bis weißlich gefärbt. Namensgebendes Merkmal ist der schwarze Rückenstreifen, weitere Fellzeichnungen sind der weiße Streifen an der Wange und der weiße Fleck an der Hüfte.
Rückenstreifenwallabys leben im östlichen Australien. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich von der Kap-York-Halbinsel (Queensland) bis in das nordöstliche New South Wales. Lebensraum dieser Tiere sind mit dichtem Unterholz bestandene Wälder.
Diese Kängurus sind vorwiegend nachtaktiv, tagsüber ruhen sie im dichten Unterholz verborgen. In der Nacht begeben sie sich auf Nahrungssuche, wobei sie offenere Stellen aufsuchen und überwiegend Gräser fressen. Sie leben in Gruppen von 2 bis 20 Tieren, die auch bei der nächtlichen Nahrungssuche nahe beieinander bleiben und sich nicht mehr als 30 Meter voneinander entfernen. Die Gruppen zeigen keine ausgeprägte Sozialstruktur, die Zusammensetzung ändert sich immer wieder, ebenso schwankt die Gruppengröße.
Nach rund 33- bis 35-tägiger Tragzeit bringt das Weibchen ein einzelnes Jungtier zur Welt. Wie bei vielen Känguruarten lässt sich auch bei ihnen eine verzögerte Geburt beobachten. Das Jungtier verbringt seine ersten sieben Lebensmonate im Beutel der Mutter und wird mit rund einem Jahr entwöhnt. Die Geschlechtsreife tritt mit 14 bis 20 Monaten ein.
Rückenstreifenwallabys haben unter der Umwandlung ihres Lebensraums in Weideflächen gelitten, heute sind die Populationen aber stabil und haben sich soweit erholt, dass die Tiere mancherorts als Plage gelten. Die IUCN listet die Art als nicht gefährdet.
In Europa wird die Art nicht mehr gepflegt, ehemalige Halter sind Köln, Hamburg, Frankfurt, London, Rotterdam und Rom.[1]

The black-striped wallaby (Notamacropus dorsalis), also known as the scrub wallaby or eastern brush wallaby, is a medium-sized wallaby found in Australia, from Townsville in Queensland to Narrabri in New South Wales. In New South Wales, it is only found west of the Great Dividing Range. It is decreasing in these areas, but is not classified as threatened as a species yet.[3] The New South Wales population, however, is classified as endangered.[4]
The black-striped wallaby resembles the mainland Australian subspecies of the red-necked wallaby, differing in the black line down its back, a white stripe over the hip and more red colouration (extending down the arms and further down the abdomen). It is a shy, nocturnal grazer and is not well-known, owing to its preference for thick scrub, where it may easily be hidden.[3]

Macropus dorsalis es una especie de marsupial de la familia Macropodidae. Endémica del este de Australia.
Es muy característica la raya negra que corre por la mitad de su espalda.
La altura de la cabeza y cuerpo está entre 100 cm a 159 cm, teniendo la cola una longitud de 54 a 83 cm. Como otros miembros de la Macropodidae, la longitud de la cola es una adaptación que les permite equilibrar tanto cuando se mueve y sentado. Las patas traseras también tienden a ser más grandes y más fuertes que las patas delanteras, lo que permite a estos animales a utilizar un movimiento de salto para el movimiento. Los machos adultos tienden a ser tres veces más grandes que las hembras adultas.
Su peso promedio es de unos 50 kg.
Se encuentra preferentemente en zonas boscosas, con sotobosque de arbusto denso. En la zona norte de su área de distribución se le encuentra en pastizales y matorrales secos adyacentes a los cultivos de vid.
Es gregario y forma grupo de alrededor de 20 animales.
El periodo de gestación de la especie es de sólo 33 a 36 días, permaneciendo después en el interior de la bolsa alrededor de 200 días.

Macropus dorsalis, communément appelé le Wallaby à raie noire (en anglais Black-striped Wallaby ou Scrub Wallaby), est une espèce de wallabies australiens de taille moyenne.
Il mesure 1 m de haut et pèse de 11 à 20 kg. Il ressemble beaucoup au Wallaby de Bennett, avec son pelage gris, le bout du museau, l'extrémité des pattes et de la queue noire, n'en différant que par la ligne noire courant sur tout le dos, une rayure blanche sur la cuisse et une coloration rousse descendant plus loin sur les pattes avant et l'abdomen.
On le trouve depuis Townsville au Queensland jusqu'à Narrabri en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. En Nouvelle-Galles-du-Sud, on ne le trouve qu'à l'Ouest de la Cordillère australienne. Il est en voie de diminution dans ces zones là. Il est classé comme espèce en danger en Nouvelle-Galles-du-Sud.
Il aime vivre dans les régions broussailleuses où il peut se cacher.
Il est herbivore.
C'est un animal craintif, nocturne, passant ses journées à dormir dans les buissons, ne sortant que le soir pour se nourrir en bandes de quinze à vingt individus.

Il wallaby dalle strisce nere (Notamacropus dorsalis (J. E. Gray, 1837)) è un wallaby di medie dimensioni diffuso in Australia, in un'area che va da Townsville, nel Queensland, a Narrabri, nel Nuovo Galles del Sud. In quest'ultimo Stato si trova solamente a ovest della Grande Catena Divisoria. Il suo numero è piuttosto diminuito, ma non è ancora ritenuto minacciato.[3] La popolazione del Nuovo Galles del Sud, tuttavia, è considerata in pericolo.[4]
Il wallaby dalle strisce nere somiglia molto alla forma continentale di wallaby dal collo rosso; differisce da esso solo per la presenza di una striscia nera lungo il dorso, di due strisce bianche sui fianchi e per una colorazione più rossastra (la quale si estende verso il basso fino agli arti anteriori e all'addome).
È una specie timida e notturna, ma non si sa granché del suo comportamento, dato che vive preferibilmente nella fitta boscaglia, dove non è facilmente individuabile.[3]
