Megapode chicks live independently from the time of hatching and are thus ideal subjects for investigations into how the lack of parental care can affect chick survival. Here, we present such results for chicks of the Australian brush-turkey (Alectura lathami), radio-tracked in two smallremnant rainforest patches (Mary Cairncross Rainforest Park and Aplin Forest) from their second day of life. Mortality was 88–100% during the first three weeks after hatching. It did not differ between two breeding seasons at Mary Cairncross Rainforest Park, as evident from comparisons of average survival time (in days) and Kaplan–Meier survival estimates. Survival differed, though, between the two sites in the same breeding season: the average survival time was significantly higher at Aplin Forest (8 days compared with 3�days) and the Kaplan–Meier survival estimates decreased less sharply. Predation by cats and birds of prey exerted the greatest influence on survival, but the proportion of deaths caused by these two predators was approximately the same at both sites. The main factor affecting survival was obviously the availability of thickets, which were more abundant at Aplin Forest. The survival rates of chicks released in thickets was significantly higher than of those released in the rainforest, presumably because they were better protected from predators. For chicks living in thickets the likelihood of being killed was lower than expected, but it was higher for those remaining in rainforest. On the basis of these results, we propose that management plans for endangered megapodes should include the identification and protection of large protective thicket habitats for enhancing overall chick survival, apart from controlling introduced predators such as feral cats.

Within Galliformes, megapods (brush turkey, malleefowl, scrubfowl) exhibit unique forms of parental care and growth. Hatchlings receive no post-hatching parental care and exhibit the most exaggerated precocial development of all extant birds, hatching with fully developed, flight-capable forelimbs. Rather than flying up to safety, young birds preferentially employ wing-assisted incline running. Newly hatched Australian brush turkeys ( Alectura lathami ) are extraordinarily proficient at negotiating all textured inclined surfaces and can flap-walk up inclines exceeding the vertical. Yet, as brush turkeys grow, their forelimb-dependent locomotor performance declines. In an attempt to elucidate how hatchlings perform so well, we analysed hindlimb forces and forelimb kinematics. We measured ground reaction forces (GRFs) for animals spanning the entire growth range (110–2000 g) as they ascended a variably positioned inclined ramp that housed a forceplate. These data are compared with a similar dataset for a chukar partridge ( Alectoris chukar ) that exhibit a growth strategy typical of most other Galliformes and that demonstrate improved incline performance with increasing age. The brush turkeys' ontogenetic decline in incline running performance is accompanied by loss of traction at steep angles, reduced GRFs and increased wing-loading. We hypothesize that Australian brush turkeys, in contrast to other Galliformes, develop from forelimb-dominated young that exploit a variable terrain (e.g. mound nests, boulders, embankments, cliffs, bushes and trees) into hindlimb-dominated adults dependent on size and running speed to avoid predation.

Characteristics are presented on eggs of the maleo, Macrocephalon maleo, which are compared with data from other megapodes. Maleo eggs contain an extremely large amount of yolk which, on average, accounts for 61.9% of the egg contents weight, which is much higher than in eggs of the Australian brush-turkey, Alectura lathami (50.1%), and the malleefowl, Leipoa ocellata (52.6%). A higher yolk content leads to an elongation of the egg and a higher relative egg weight. The results suggest that eggs of burrow-nesting megapodes contain more yolk than eggs of mound-building species.

Previous studies of an intermittent migratory oedema occurring in people living in the Central Queensland coastal areas of Woodbury, supported by skin testing and subsequent serology tests established that this problem was

possibly a gnathostomiasis. The problem was previously reported as occurring in an area north of the coastal town of Yeppoon in Central Queensland. It was described as a rapidly moving intermittent oedema lasting for periods between one week and six months.

A study of 96 people living in the Central Queensland area was carried out from 1992 to 1995, showing that the 'Woodbury Bug' is a migrating oedema occurring at irregular intervals over all areas of the body. The phenomenon

was not confined to people living in areas north of Yeppoon, but occurred in all areas of Central Queensland, mostly in the summer months with urticaria lasting from days to several weeks. Reoccurrence of the urticaria occurred

again in the summer months of January to April, every year or every second year, often lasting several years.

The physical findings in the study were remarkably consistent with those found in cases of gnathostomiasis. In contrast to previous serology testing, however, all gnathostome serology tests were negative. The lack of a history of eating raw meats or fish also contradicted the previous suggestion that this was gnathostomiasis. Serology testing for Strongyloides species was also

negative, and the physical findings eliminated Ancylostoma species as a possibility.

During the study it was established that many patients had contact with nest material of the brush turkey, Alectura lathami, a leafy material used as garden mulch. A Heterakid, found as a parasite in the brush turkey is suggested as a

cause of the 'Woodbury Bug'. This parasite could be treated using an anthelminthic, albendazole, or the condition known as the 'Woodbury Bug' could be controlled by avoiding any accidental ingestion of parasites when working with brush turkey nest material.
