A new carnivorous marsupial from the Palaeocene of Bolivia and the problem of marsupial monophyly

Nature, 1994
THE distinctive soft anatomy and reproductive biology of marsupials sets them apart as a unique group within mammals. These features are, of course, absent in fossils, so it is difficult to determine marsupial origins and evolution: many of the proposed dental and skeletal characters are controversial1 or primitive1,2. A contribution of the alisphenoid

The basicranial region of marsupicarnivores (Marsupialia), interrelationships of carnivorous marsupials, and affinities of the insectivorous marsupial peramelids

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1976
The basicranial region is examined in detail in didelphids, dasyurids, thylacinids, borhyaenids, myrmecobiids, and comparisons are made with notoryctids and peramelids. Three dasyurid genera (Sminthopsis, Antechinus and Planigale) were doubly injected with latex and basicranial foramina identified partly on the basis of the vessels which they transmit.

Breeding biology and growth in a new, threatened carnivorous marsupial

Mammal Research, 2016
The silver-headed antechinus, A. argentus, is a recently-discovered, threatened carnivorous marsupial known from only two small, isolated montane populations within central-eastern Queensland, Australia. Here, we present the first study of the species’ life-history characteristics.

Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials

2018
Most living carnivorous marsupials lead a secretive and solitary existence. From tiny insect eaters to the formidable Tasmanian Devil, Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials offers rare insight into the history and habits of these creatures – from their discovery by intrepid explorers and scientists to their unique life cycles and incredible ways of ...

The evolution of sociality in small, carnivorous marsupials: the lek hypothesis revisited

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2010
One of the few mammal species reported to have a mating system of lek promiscuity is the tree-hollow nesting marsupial, the agile antechinus, Antechinus agilis. Past conclusions about its mating system have been based on seasonal changes in social group size, sex-specific nest switching and space use.

Release protocols to address hyperdispersal in a novel translocation of a carnivorous marsupial

Australian Mammalogy, 2022
Initial translocations are inherently risky due to uncertainty around species-specific responses to novel environments. Incorporating a range of release protocols can minimise risks of translocation failure. We identified post-translocation hyperdispersal as a risk to the first translocation of the crest-tailed mulgara (Dasycercus cristicauda), an ...

Australia’s surviving marsupial carnivores: threats and conservation

2014
The Australian continent provides a unique perspective on the evolution and ecology of carnivorous animals. In earlier ages, Australia provided the arena for a spectacular radiation of marsupial and reptilian predators. The causes of their extinctions are still the subject of debate.
