A geometric morphometric analysis of cranial and mandibular shape variation of didelphid marsupials
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2000 <strong>Abstract</strong> The New World marsupial family Didelphidae is one of the oldest among mammals and is usually regarded as a morphologically conservative group. We analyzed cranial shape variation among six species of the six largest

New records of two marsupials (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) and conservation notes from southern Mexico [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and ConservationIn Mexico opossums are difficult to find, and much of their natural history, ecology, and behavior are unknown. Through photographic and visual records, we obtained data on the presence of two species of marsupials in southern Mexico.

Molecular discrimination of pouched four-eyed opossums from the Mamirauá Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
, 2006 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.

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]
, 2020 “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.

Phylogenetic measures applied to the conservation of Mexican marsupials
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2015 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 ...
