The major predators of this species are New Guinea harpy-eagles, carpet pythons, and wedge-tailed eagles.
Known Predators:
Dorcopsulus macleayi is the smallest marsupial in its genus. Pelage is a general brownish-grey and it is lighter ventrally. The tip of the tail is nearly bare and is white in color.
The skull is smaller, shorter, and broader in comparison to the other members of its genus. Head and body measure 490 mm. The tail averages 320 mm, and the hind foot is 115 mm. Individuals weigh between 3 and 5 kg.
The dentition of D. macleayi is characterized by a pair of incisors that are small, light, and that do not touch each other. The canines are short and slender, whereas the molars are broad, evenly oval, and shorter than other Dorcopsulus.
Range mass: 3 to 5 kg.
Average length: 490 mm.
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes alike
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
There are no records of the lifespan of D. macleayi. However, a related species found in the same geographic range but at lower altitudes, Dorcopsulus luctuosa, has a maximum lifespan of eight years. Dorcopsulus macleayi probably has similar longevity.
Average lifespan
Status: captivity: 7.9 years.
Papuan forest wallabies utilize cover and roaming space within the dense forests of New Guinea. They prefer dry areas that are heavily covered by tall trees and have rich floor vegetation. However, expansion of the broad plains containing savannah woodland and grasslands (maintained largely by periodic native burning) has pushed Papuan wallabies to move to higher elevations (1200 to 1300 m) in the forest.
Range elevation: 1,200 to 1,300 m.
Habitat Regions: tropical ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: forest ; rainforest
Papuan forest wallabies, Dorcopsulus maclaeyi, are endemic to southern New Guinea. This species is restricted to the rain forest near Port Moresby on the south coast of south-eastern Papua New Guinea.
Biogeographic Regions: oceanic islands (Native )
Other Geographic Terms: island endemic
Dorcopsulus macleayi is a generalist browsing herbivore. Its diet is composed of leaves, buds, and stems of dictotyledonous plants.
Plant Foods: leaves; wood, bark, or stems
Primary Diet: herbivore (Folivore , Lignivore)
These wallabies are an important part of their ecosystem. They serve as prey for many animals, and have some affect on the vegetation they feed upon.
Several native tribes of the Papuan forest regions have used the furs of Papuan wallabies as a means of trade and as bridal gifts. Beyond this limited use, the species holds no real economic importance for humans.
Positive Impacts: body parts are source of valuable material
There is no known negative impact of this species on humans.
Currently, D. macleayi is considered a vulnerable species that is subject to the effects of human activities. It has an unpredictable future. IUCN says that this species can very easily become critically endangered.
Several organizations are now working with farmers in New Guinea to protect and preserve the forests and the land, and are also helping preserve wildlife. They may be assisting the survival of this wallaby species.
In 1994, the World Wildlife organization began the Kikori Integrated Conservation and Development Project to promote wildlife management along with managed forestry and community development ideas. This project significantly helps conserve the endemic species of the forest.
Conservation Melanesia is another project works in Pacific Islands to protect the habitat for the species that dwell in the forest.
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: no special status
State of Michigan List: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
Like most marsupials, Papuan forest wallabies have a well-developed sense of smell. Females release a strong scent when they are in estrus and ready to find a mate. In addition to using this olfactory cue of mating readiness, males also smell the genital area of a female to make sure that no young are already in the pouch.
In addition to olfactory communication, it is likely that in mating and during the pouch life of an offspring, much tactile information is exchanged. Visual cues may also be used in communication, but have not been documented. Similarly, the role of vocal communication has not been investigated.
Communication Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Other Communication Modes: scent marks
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Both male and female Papuan forest wallabies grow to about the same size and mature sexually about the same time. Mating is typically polygynandrous. Males commit fewer resources than females to the production of each offspring. Males engage in little pre-mating behavior and increase their chances of producing offspring by mating with as many females as possible.
Mating System: polygynandrous (promiscuous)
Breeding of Papuan forest wallabies occurs mostly in late January and early February. Reproduction is apparently related to female physiological condition. Because females invest so much energy in reproduction, a female will only enter estrus if she has enough energy and resources to successfully rear her offspring.
As is true of all marsupials, the young are born after a short gestation. At birth, young are altricial. They complete their development inside their mother's pouch. Gestation is reported to last 21 days. Weaning probably occurs when the young leave the pouch at about 18 months of age. Of two records of females with offspring, one female had two young in the pouch, another had only one pouch young. Based on this, it is likely that only one or possibly two offpsring are produced at a time. Reproductive maturity is reached around the age of 2 years.
Breeding interval: Papuan forest wallabies breed once per year.
Breeding season: Breeding season occurs in January and February.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Average gestation period: 21 days.
Average weaning age: 18 months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 2 years.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 2 years.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization ; viviparous
The gestation period is about 21 days. Birth is so rapid that females do not even feel when their young are born. The newborn moves from the vagina into the pouch and attaches itself to a teat. After birth, a young wallaby may spend up to 18 months inside the pouch.
The energy needed for daily activity remains low for many marsupial mothers during gestation. This indicates that the growing fetus requires little energetic investment from the mother. Investment in the young after birth is substantial, however. A female lactates for the entire time the young is in her pouch. Males do not stay around to look after the young, leaving the rearing of offspring to the mother.
Parental Investment: altricial ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); extended period of juvenile learning

Das Macleay-Buschkänguru (Dorcopsulus macleayi), auch als Papua-Buschkänguru bezeichnet, ist eine Känguruart aus der Gruppe der Buschkängurus. Es lebt im Osten von Neuguinea.[1]
Das Macleay-Buschkänguru erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 43,5 bis 46 cm, eine Schwanzlänge von 31,5 bis 34,5 cm und ein Gewicht von 2,5 bis 3,5 Kilogramm. Der Rücken ist graubraun bis dunkelbraun, der Bauch ist heller. Die Gliedmaßen haben die gleiche Farbe wie der Körper. Der Schwanz hat an seiner Basis ein buschiges Fell, das körperferne Drittel ist unbehaart und weiß.[1]
Verglichen mit dem nah verwandten und teilweise im gleichen Gebiet vorkommenden Berg-Buschkänguru (Dorcopsulus vanheurni) ist das Macleay-Buschkänguru größer, hat weniger abgerundete Ohren, hat ein helleres und weniger glänzendes Fell und einen kürzeren Schwanz. Beim Berg-Buschkänguru ist die Spitze dunkel.[1]
Das Macleay-Buschkänguru lebt im Osten von Neuguinea in Bergregenwäldern in Höhen von 1000 bis 1800 Metern an den südlichen Hängen des Owen-Stanley-Gebirges. Über die Lebensweise ist kaum etwas bekannt. Wahrscheinlich ernährt es sich vor allem pflanzlich, auch von Pilzen. Die Weibchen bekommen ein einzelnes Jungtier pro Jahr. Die Fortpflanzung findet das ganze Jahr über statt.[1]
Das Macleay-Buschkänguru wird von der IUCN als nicht gefährdet (Least Concern) gelistet, da es in einem relativ große Verbreitungsgebiet von mehr als 20,000 km² vorkommt und noch recht individuenreich ist.[2][1]

Macleay's dorcopsis (Dorcopsulus macleayi), also known as the Papuan dorcopsis or the Papuan forest wallaby, is a species of marsupial in the family Macropodidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest]. Being little threatened by habitat destruction, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as being of "least concern".
Macleay's dorcopsis was first described by the Russian biologist Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay who named it Dorcopsulus macleayi in honour of the Australian naturalist William John Macleay.[3] It is the type species of the genus.[1] Some authorities consider it to be the same species as the small dorcopsis (Dorcopsulus vanheurni), which has a much wider distribution in New Guinea, but Groves (2005) supports its status as a separate species.[2]
The species is a small, nocturnal forest wallaby with an average weight of about 3 kg (7 lb) and fur that is dense and dark brown to black. It differs from D. vanheurni in having about two-thirds to three-quarters of its tail covered with fur, compared to one half in D. vanheurni.[4]
Macleay's dorcopsis is endemic to the southeastern part of the island of New Guinea. It is found in hilly areas and lower montane slopes at altitudes of between 1,000 and 1,800 m (3,300 and 5,900 ft) where it occurs in both primary and secondary tropical moist forest.[2]
At one time considered to be a "vulnerable species", D. macleayi is now listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being of "least concern"; the area where it lives is inaccessible and largely undisturbed, it is a common species and no particular threats have been identified.[2] The indigenous people hunt this species for food to a limited extent, but not to such a degree as to warrant placing it in a more threatened category.[2]

Wallaby de Macleay, Dorcopsis de Macleay
Le Wallaby de Macleay ou Dorcopsis de Macleay (Dorcopsulus macleayi) est une espèce de marsupiaux de la famille des Macropodidae. Il est endémique de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Son habitat naturel est les forêts tropicales et subtropicales sèches. Il est menacé par la disparition de son habitat.
Il dorcopside di Macleay (Dorcopsulus macleayi Miklucho-Maklaj, 1885), noto anche come dorcopside papua o wallaby di foresta papua, è una specie di marsupiale della famiglia dei Macropodidi, molto simile al dorcopside minore, tanto che alcuni scienziati considerano i due animali come una specie unica. È diffuso nelle foreste pluviali della Nuova Guinea sud-orientale, ad altitudini comprese tra 1000 e 1800 m. Sebbene sia piuttosto diffuso, non sappiamo molto delle sue abitudini e anche l'estensione esatta dell'areale è incerta[2].

Papua-skogsvallaby (Dorcopsulus macleayi[2][3][4]) är en pungdjursart som först beskrevs av Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay 1885. Dorcopsulus macleayi ingår i släktet skogsvallabyer och familjen kängurudjur.[5][6] IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig.[1] Inga underarter finns listade.[5]
Pungdjuret förekommer på sydöstra Nya Guinea och vistas där i bergstrakter som är 1 000 till 1 800 meter höga. Habitatet utgörs främst av tropisk regnskog.[1]
Med en genomsnittlig kroppslängd (huvud och bål) av 49 cm, en svanslängd av cirka 32 cm och en vikt av 3 till 5 kg är arten mindre än den andra skogsvallabyn i samma släkte. Papua-skogsvallaby har ungefär 11,5 cm långa bakfötter och gråbrun päls som blir lite ljusare på undersidan. Vid artens vitaktiga svansspets finns bara några glest fördelade hår. Tanduppsättningen kännetecknas av två små framtänder med en liten klaff mellan, av korta hörntänder samt av breda molarer.[7]
Papua-skogsvallaby är aktiv på natten och den är marklevande. Födan utgörs av blad, unga växtskott och örter. Hos arten sker parningen oftast i slutet av januari och i början av februari. Dräktigheten varar i cirka 21 dagar och sedan föds en eller två ungar. Ungarna är bara rudimentärt utvecklade och de kravlar till moderns pung (marsupium). De lever där cirka 18 månader och efter denna tid slutar honan med digivning. Könsmognaden för båda kön infaller efter ungefär två år. Livslängden antas vara lika som hos andra mindre skogsvallabyer, alltså upp till 8 år.[7]
Detta pungdjur jagas av olika rovlevande fåglar som Papuaörn och kilstjärtsörn.[7]
