Platypus and Echidnas [PDF]

Pacific Conservation Biology, 1997
Platypus and Echidnas presents the proceedings of a conference held at the University of New South Wales in July 1991. Platypus and Echidnas incorporates an extensive information source obtained from studies undertaken since the first symposium on "Monotreme Biology" in 1978, while highlighting deficiencies in our knowledge, and subsequently suggests ...

Ultrasonographic features of the platypus abdomen via a limited left pre‐epipubic acoustic window from a series of 54 individuals

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 10, Page 653-660, October 2026.
Introduction There are notable differences between the platypus and common species of domestic mammal in the location and structure of some abdominal organs. The aim of this study was to detail the size, position and relative locations of organs in the left side of the platypus abdomen, to assist evidence‐based decision‐making in a clinical setting ...

Description of the female, nymph and larva and mitochondrial genome, and redescription of the male of Ixodes barkeri Barker, 2019 (Acari: Ixodidae), from the short-beaked echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, with a consideration of the most suitable subgenus for this tick

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Ixodes barkeri, a tick with a distinctive ventrolateral horn-like projection on palpal segment 1, was described in 2019 from two male ticks from the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Returning a lost process by reintroducing a locally extinct digging marsupial [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The eastern bettong (Bettongia gaimardi), a medium-sized digging marsupial, was reintroduced to a predator-free reserve after 100 years of absence from the Australian mainland. The bettong may have the potential to restore temperate woodlands degraded by

Confidence Thresholds: Towards an Automated Workflow for Unmarked Wildlife Population Modelling With Camera Trap Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Our study explores the application of confidence level thresholds to automated wildlife detections from camera trap data to generate detection histories that could circumvent the need for costly manual review. Our approach employs a study‐specific deep learning ensemble, which is an under‐utilised approach in ecology. Our scripted workflow connects the

Convergent gene losses and pseudogenizations in multiple lineages of stomachless fishes

Communications Biology
The regressive evolution of independent lineages often results in convergent phenotypes. Several teleost groups display secondary loss of the stomach, and four gastric genes, atp4a, atp4b, pgc, and pga2 have been co-deleted in agastric (stomachless) fish.

Tuning the Magnetic Phase Transitions in TbMn2‐xTixSi2 (x = 0–0.3)

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Magnetocaloric materials receive considerable attention as promising candidates for next‐generation energy‐efficient and environmentally benign solid‐state refrigeration technologies. These materials exhibit the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), whereby heat is absorbed or released upon the application or removal of a magnetic field. In this study,
