Kangaroo and wallaby evolution tied to Australia's past climate shifts
A QUT-led study has found how increasing aridity and habitat variation and the subsequent emergence of grasslands shaped the evolution of modern kangaroos and wallabies.

A QUT-led study has found how increasing aridity and habitat variation and the subsequent emergence of grasslands shaped the evolution of modern kangaroos and wallabies. The study, published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, resolves long-standing questions about when, and why, these iconic Australian marsupials diversified.
