THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES™ Taxonomy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Chordata Mammalia Diprotodontia Macropodidae Taxon Name: Thylogale stigmatica (Gould, 1860) Common Name(s): • English: Red-legged Pademelon Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Least Concern ver 3.1 Year Published: 2016 Date Assessed: June 15, 2015 Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, occurrence in a number of protected areas, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category. Previously Published Red List Assessments 2008 – Least Concern (LC) – http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2008.RLTS.T40574A10335692.en 1996 – Lower Risk/least concern (LR/lc) 1996 – Lower Risk/least concern (LR/lc) Geographic Range Range Description: This species is found in the extreme southern Fly region of New Guinea (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea), and throughout much of eastern Australia, where it ranges from the Cape York Peninsula to eastern New South Wales. It is found from sea level to 1,200 m asl. Country Occurrence: Native: Australia; Indonesia; Papua New Guinea © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Thylogale stigmatica – published in 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-2.RLTS.T40574A21958270.en 1 Distribution Map Thylogale stigmatica © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Thylogale stigmatica – published in 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-2.RLTS.T40574A21958270.en 2 Population In Australia, it is common within suitable habitat (Johnson and Vernes 2008). It is believed to be uncommon in New Guinea. Current Population Trend: Decreasing Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) This species is a largely solitary forest species. In Australia, it has been recorded from lowland and highland tropical moist forest, wet sclerophyll forests, deciduous vine thickets and is occasionally found in lantana thickets in formerly forested areas (Johnson and Vernes 2008). In New Guinea, it is largely confined to the gallery forests, and is not present in adjacent grasslands. This species is out competed by T. brunii in New Guinea with which it shares similar habitat affiliations. Systems: Terrestrial Threats There are no major threats to this species overall. In Australia, the species may be somewhat threatened by fragmentation of suitable forested areas (the species generally does not persist within fragments, and has, for example, disappeared from patches of scrub in Cape York and on the Atherton Tablelands) and by predation by dogs. Within New Guinea, overhunting for meat is a threat to this species. Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) It is present in a number of protected areas in Australia. It does not occur in any protected areas in New Guinea. Credits Assessor(s): Burnett, S. & Ellis, M.
