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.

Tracking marsupial evolution using archaic genomic retroposon insertions.
PLoS Biology, 2010 The Australasian and South American marsupial mammals, such as kangaroos and opossums, are the closest living relatives to placental mammals, having shared a common ancestor around 130 million years ago.

Giardia and Cryptosporidium in Neo-Tropical Rodents and Marsupials: Is There Any Zoonotic Potential?
Life, 2021 Cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis have been identified as emerging diseases in both developed and developing countries. Wildlife has been highlighted to play a major role in the spread of these diseases to humans.

Retrotransposon silencing by DNA methylation can drive mammalian genomic imprinting [PDF]
, 2015 Among mammals, only eutherians and marsupials are viviparous and have genomic imprinting that leads to parent-of-origin-specific differential gene expression. We used comparative analysis to investigate the origin of genomic imprinting in mammals. PEG10 (

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,

On the development of the chondrocranium and the histological anatomy of the head in perinatal stages of marsupial mammals [PDF]
, 2017 An overview of the literature on the chondrocranium of marsupial mammals reveals a relative conservatism in shape and structures. We document the histological cranial anatomy of individuals representing Monodelphis domestica, Dromiciops gliroides ...
