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 ...

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 ...
