On the landscape of fear: shelters affect foraging by dunnarts (Marsupialia, Sminthopsis spp.) in a sandridge desert environment

Journal of Mammalogy, 2020
Disturbances such as fire reduce the structural complexity of terrestrial habitats, increasing the risk of predation for small prey species. The postfire effect of predation has especially deleterious effects in Australian habitats owing to the presence ...

Reproduction in Peradorcas-Concinna (Marsupialia, Macropodidae)

Wildlife Research, 1986
The length of the oestrous cycle in captive Peradorcas concinna was 33.73 ± 1.65 days (n = 52). Females which were dominant over other females or were alone with their young had a cycle length of about 32 days and subordinate females had a cycle length of about 35 days. Some observations on the growth of the young are presented. Weaning is very abrupt;

Hibernation in pygmy possums (Marsupialia: Burramyidae)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1985
The minimum body temperatures and the longest torpor bouts recorded for pygmy possums (family Burramyidae) are compared with hibernating representatives from the insectivores, rodents and Australian bats. The lowest body temperatures of pygmy possums are around 6 degrees C which is within the range of the other mammalian groups. The torpor bouts of the

STUDIES IN COMPARATIVE HÆMATOLOGY.—III. MARSUPIALIA

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology, 1929
Except for a few minor differences the morphology of the leucocytes of the marsupials is similar to that of the leucocytes in man. The white‐cell counts vary slightly—about 8000 is an average figure. The differential counts, in general, resemble those found in man. The polynuclear counts, for most of the marsupials, are more right‐handed than the human

Prodromus of the Comparative Serology of Marsupialia

Nature, 1968
Serological data, and the information about phylogeny which they supply, can be used as the basis of a revised classification of the Marsupialia.
