Three forested habitats at Pantanal of Poconé (Mato Grosso) were sampled during 17 months, with an effort of 38,635 trap-nights, resulting in a 6.3% of trapping success. Six marsupial and eight rodent species were recorded.

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Phylogenetic measures applied to the conservation of Mexican marsupials
The didelphimorphs in Mexico are found all over the country except for the Baja California Peninsula. The aim of this study was to use three methods to assess the phylogenetic diversity of the species: Marmosa mexicana, Tlacuatzin canescens, Caluromys ...

A nearly complete juvenile skull of the marsupial Sparassocynus derivatus from the Pliocene of Argentina, the affinities of “sparassocynids”, and the diversification of opossums (Marsupialia; Didelphimorphia; Didelphidae) [PDF]
“Sparassocynids” are small, carnivorously-adapted marsupials known from the late Miocene and Pliocene of South America, thought to be relatives of living didelphid opossums but of otherwise uncertain phylogenetic relationships.

Molecular discrimination of pouched four-eyed opossums from the Mamirauá Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Previous cytochrome B (CytB) mtDNA studies have suggested four species for the opossum genus Philander (four-eyed opossums), three (P. mcilhennyi, P. andersoni and P. opossum) from the Amazon and one (P.

Vestigial structures and variation in the evolution of the marsupial mammal dental development—a study of the woolly opossum Caluromys philander [PDF]
The pattern of dental replacement in marsupial mammals has received much attention for its derived nature and potential relationship to the life history of the group.

ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.
