Development of epiphyseal structure and function inDidelphis virginiana (Marsupiala, Didelphidae)
Journal of Morphology, 1999This study addressed the question of how the epiphyses of growing mammals change their external shape and internal architecture during postnatal development. Ontogenetic transformations in the external form and internal structure of the fore- and hindlimb epiphyses were examined in a mixed cross-sectional sample of Didelphis virginiana using two ...

Helminths of the Virginia Opossum Didelphis virginiana (Mammalia: Didelphidae) in Mexico
Journal of Parasitology, 2005The goal of this study was to provide further information about helminth parasites of Virginia opossum Didelphis virginiana Kerr, 1792 from Mexico. During routine faunal investigations between 1958 and 2001, 101 opossum were necropsied. Nineteen taxa of helminths were collected, representing 13 genera from hosts in 27 localities from Mexico.

A new species of Philander Brisson, 1762 (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)
Mammalian Biology, 2008A new species of Philander, known from two localities in Bolivia and one in Peru, is described. The new species is externally similar to sympatric populations of P. opossum, but both have several differences, such as ventral pelage color, nasal morphology, condition of the zygomatic arches, and rostral tympanic process of the petrosal.

Development of craniofacial musculature inMonodelphis domestica(marsupialia, didelphidae)
Journal of Morphology, 1994AbstractDevelopment of craniofacial muscles ofMonodelphis domestica(Marsupialia, Didelphidae) is described. In a period of 4–6 days all craniofacial muscles inM. domesticaprogress from myoblast condensation, to striated myofibers that are aligned in the direction of adult muscles and possess multiple, lateral nuclei.

American Opossums Order Didelphimorphia, Family Didelphidae
2009Abstract All marsupials were formerly considered to belong to the order Marsupialia; however, this large group has recently been split into 7 orders. New World opossums are repre- sented by 3 orders and Australian marsupials by 4 orders. The Didelphimorphia contains a single family, which includes all Central American opossums.

Reproduction ofDidelphis marsupialis (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) in the Venezuelan Andes
Acta Theriologica, 2006The reproductive cycle of the common opossumDidelphis marsupialis Linnaeus, 1758, inhabiting an agricultural area in the Venezuelan Andes was studied by live-trapping for 18 months (from July 1998 to December 1999). Trap success was slightly higher in the less humid months.

Use of zygodactylous grasp by Caluromys philander (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)
Mammalian Biology, 2010The present report aims to quantify the use of zygodactylous (opposability of digits II to III) grasping in relation to positional modes and support size and orientation, in the highly arboreal, walking/climbing woolly opossum, Caluromys philander. For this purpose, four captive adult C.
