Energy Homeostasis in Monotremes
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 In 1803, the French anatomist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire decided that the newly described echidna and platypus should be placed in a separate order, the monotremes, intermediate between reptiles and mammals.

Tracing Monotreme Venom Evolution in the Genomics Era
Toxins, 2014 The monotremes (platypuses and echidnas) represent one of only four extant venomous mammalian lineages. Until recently, monotreme venom was poorly understood.

Validation of an Echidna Forelimb Musculoskeletal Model Using XROMM and diceCT
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 In evolutionary biomechanics, musculoskeletal computer models of extant and extinct taxa are often used to estimate joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle moment arms (MMAs), two parameters which form the basis of functional inferences.

Cool sex? Hibernation and reproduction overlap in the echidna. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 During hibernation there is a slowing of all metabolic processes, and thus it is normally considered to be incompatible with reproduction. In Tasmania the egg-laying mammal, the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) hibernates for several months before mating

iScience, 2022 Summary: The sprawling–parasagittal postural shift was a major transition during synapsid evolution, underpinned by reorganization of the forelimb, and considered key to mammalian ecological diversity. Determining when and how this transition occurred in

Natural history of Platypria (Platypria) hystrix (Fabricius, 1798) on Fabaceae host plants, with notes on other Platypria species in India (Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Hispini) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 The leaf-beetle genus Platypria Guérin-Méneville, 1840 comprises two subgenera and 34 species (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Hispini). Host plants are documented for eight species and indicate mostly perennial species of Fabaceae and Rhamnaceae.

ACM SIGGRAPH 2010 Art Gallery, 2010 Echidna is like a fussy tumbled creature that has its own (electronic) voice - it will squeak and react to human presence. It is made of coloured wire, like a messy line drawing infused with life and shaped to create a magnetic field. It sits on a plinth with electronics inside. The work combines a circuit, which directly measures electrostatic changes
