Australia's oldest marsupial fossils and their biogeographical implications.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundWe describe new cranial and post-cranial marsupial fossils from the early Eocene Tingamarra Local Fauna in Australia and refer them to Djarthia murgonensis, which was previously known only from fragmentary dental remains.Methodology/principal ...

Gene Maps of Marsupials [PDF]

open access: yesILAR Journal, 1998
Increased interest in the structural characteristics of mammalian genomes, together with rapid advances in mapping technology, have led to the explosive expansion of gene mapping activity in recent years. Species for which gene mapping data were virtually nonexistent just a decade ago now possess substantial and serviceable gene maps that are enabling ...

Placental imprinting of SLC22A3 in the IGF2R imprinted domain is conserved in therian mammals

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2022
Background The eutherian IGF2R imprinted domain is regulated by an antisense long non-coding RNA, Airn, which is expressed from a differentially methylated region (DMR) in mice.

Coat colour in marsupials: genetic variants at the ASIP locus determine grey and black fur of the brushtail possum

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
The possession of fur or hair is a defining characteristic of mammals and can occur in a variety of colours and patterns. While genetic determinants of coat colour are well described in eutherian ‘placental’ mammals, the other major mammalian infraclass,

Anatomy of the heart and coronary blood supply of the white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) [PDF]

open access: yesArquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
Although the white-eared opossum is frequently observed in both rural and urban environments, there is little anatomical knowledge about this marsupial species. To our knowledge, there are no descriptions of its heart anatomy. Thus, the aim of this study

A species under siege: modelling habitat suitability for the bear cuscus Ailurops ursinus in South Sulawesi

open access: yesOryx
Phalangerids in Sulawesi occur at the westernmost extent of marsupial distribution in Wallacea and are facing escalating anthropogenic pressures. The ecology of the Vulnerable bear cuscus Ailurops ursinus, one of four endemic phalangerids in Sulawesi, is
