The lumbosacral plexus in two Didelphis species (Didelphidae, Didelphimorphia): origin and nerve distribution [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Morphological studies provide knowledge that allow us to understand how animals interact with the natural environment or the captivity. The goal of this study was to describe the origin and antimeric distribution of lumbosacral plexus nerves in Didelphis

Movement of Free-Ranging Koalas in Response to Male Vocalisation Playbacks
Animals, 2022 Effective conservation strategies rely on knowledge of seasonal and social drivers of animal behaviour. Koalas are generally solitary and their social arrangement appears to rely on vocal and chemical signalling.

The evolutionary process of mammalian sex determination genes focusing on marsupial SRYs
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Maleness in mammals is genetically determined by the Y chromosome. On the Y chromosome SRY is known as the mammalian male-determining gene. Both placental mammals (Eutheria) and marsupial mammals (Metatheria) have SRY genes.

Marsupial Gut Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The study of the gut microbiome in threatened wildlife species has enormous potential to improve conservation efforts and gain insights into host-microbe coevolution. Threatened species are often housed in captivity, and during this process undergo considerable changes to their gut microbiome.

Is Toxoplasma gondii a threat to the conservation of free-ranging Australian marsupial populations?
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2016 It has often been asserted that Australian marsupial species are particularly susceptible to Toxoplasma gondii infection and to clinical toxoplasmosis following infection. This implicates T. gondii as a potential threat to marsupial population viability,

Relative demographic susceptibility does not explain the extinction chronology of Sahul’s megafauna
eLife, 2021 The causes of Sahul’s megafauna extinctions remain uncertain, although several interacting factors were likely responsible. To examine the relative support for hypotheses regarding plausible ecological mechanisms underlying these extinctions, we ...
