Marsupial Genome Sequences: Providing Insight into Evolution and Disease
Scientifica, 2012 Marsupials (metatherians), with their position in vertebrate phylogeny and their unique biological features, have been studied for many years by a dedicated group of researchers, but it has only been since the sequencing of the first marsupial genome ...

Large area used by squirrel gliders in an urban area, uncovered using GPS telemetry
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis) is a threatened, gliding marsupial that persists in fragmented landscapes despite its restricted capacity to cross large gaps.

Elucidating Patterns in the Occurrence of Threatened Ground-Dwelling Marsupials Using Camera-Traps
Animals, 2019 Establishing trends in endangered fauna against management efforts is a key but often challenging enterprise. Camera-traps offer a new and literal window into monitoring many different mammalian species.

Marsupial-specific microRNAs evolved from marsupial-specific transposable elements [PDF]
Gene, 2009 Using a direct miRNA cloning strategy we previously identified fourteen marsupial- or species-specific microRNAs in the marsupial species Monodelphis domestica. In the present study we examined each of the pre-miRNAs and their flanking sequences and demonstrate that half of these miRNAs evolved from marsupial-specific transposable elements.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Invasive buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) is considered a threat to the critically endangered northern hairy‐nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii; NHW). Buffel grass outcompetes native grasses, reducing availability of native food items for NHW, and causes
