Abstract
Grouping of Macropus giganteus in an extremely open habitat was investigated in this study by measuring group size and group cohesion. In comparison with populations at similar densities in more forested habitats, the study population of M. giganteus formed larger groups. This finding supports a prediction that macropods will form larger groups in open habitats, and this is interpreted as being an adaptive response to increased exposure to predation.https://doi.org/10.1071/WR9870343
