Gene regulatory dynamics during craniofacial development in a carnivorous marsupial [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Marsupials and placental mammals exhibit significant differences in reproductive and life history strategies. Marsupials are born highly underdeveloped after an extremely short period of gestation, leading to prioritized development of structures ...

Discovered and disappearing? Conservation genetics of a recently named Australian carnivorous marsupial [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 AbstractFive new species within the Australian carnivorous marsupial genus Antechinus have recently been named, at least two of which are threatened. Important facets of the habitat use and extinction risk of one of these new species, the buff‐footed antechinus, A. mysticus, are not well understood.

Over-eruption in marsupial carnivore teeth: compensation for a constraint. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 Abstract Pronounced over-eruption of the canine teeth, much greater than in eco-morphologically equivalent placental carnivores, occurs with age and growth in Australian marsupial carnivores. Suppression of functional tooth replacement is a characteristic of marsupials and is frequent among diverse placentals, where the primitive ...
