Endemic fauna of Australia [PDF]

, 2010
Australija je najmanji kontinent, prirodno izoliran od drugih kontinenata te su se zbog toga u Australiji razvile posebne biljne i životinjske vrste.

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Ecogeographical rules for animal coloration include Gloger's rule, which states that homeotherms are darker at lower latitudes; however, 19th‐century naturalists observed that animals are more colourful in the tropics. We investigated these ideas across the head, torso, legs and tail regions of 2726 species of terrestrial mammals using phylogenetic ...

Statistical support for the hypothesis of developmental constraint in marsupial skull evolution. [PDF]

, 2013
Background: In contrast to placental neonates, in which all cranial bones are ossified, marsupial young have only the bones of the oral region and the exoccipital ossified at birth, in order to facilitate suckling at an early stage of development.

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 697-703, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Differential predation patterns of free‐ranging cats among continents

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Co‐evolutionary relationships associated with biogeographical context mediate the response of native prey to introduced predators, but this effect has not yet been demonstrated for domestic cats. We investigated the main factors influencing the vulnerability of prey species to domestic cat Felis catus predation across Australia, Europe and North ...

Down to earth: therian mammals became more terrestrial towards the end of the Cretaceous

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract The end Cretaceous extinctions had a profound effect on mammalian diversity, especially on metatherians (marsupials and their extinct relatives). Could mammalian substrate preference have influenced differential survival patterns? The plant fossil record shows changing angiosperm leaf anatomy during the last ten million years of the Cretaceous

A re-examination of the skeletal characters of Wynyardia bassiana, an extinct Tasmanian marsupial. [PDF]

, 1930
Thirty years ago (P.Z.S. 1900, pp. 776-794) Sir Baldwin Spencer described and named the fossil Marsupial that had been brought to light by a fall of the cliff face at Table Cape, Tasmania.

Threatened Mammals With Alien Populations: Distribution, Causes, and Conservation

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Many alien species are safe in their native ranges, but some are threatened. This creates a conundrum for conservation and invasion science. We analyzed the distributions, introduction pathways, threats, and conservation strategies of threatened mammals with alien populations globally.

BIO::Phylo-phyloinformatic analysis using perl [PDF]

, 2011
Background Phyloinformatic analyses involve large amounts of data and metadata of complex structure. Collecting, processing, analyzing, visualizing and summarizing these data and metadata should be done in steps that can be automated and reproduced. This
