Metagenomic analysis of fecal microbiomes reveals genetic potential for diverse hydrogen management strategies in marsupials [PDF]
mSystemsMethane is an end product of plant biomass digestion by gut microbiota, though the amount produced and/or released varies between hosts. On a per-unit-of-feed basis, macropodid marsupials (e.g., kangaroos) have been reported to emit less methane than ...

Meiotic dynamics in a unique Australian marsupial provide new insights into the evolution of neo-sex chromosomes in the early stages of differentiation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyUnderstanding the origin and fate of sex chromosomes has been one of the most intriguing questions in biology. In therian (marsupial and eutherian) mammals, most species are characterized by a heteromorphic XX female XY male sex chromosome system.

Use of Tie-in Fixation and Modified Poliglecaprone-25 Suture Cerclages in a Complex Femoral Diaphysis Fracture in a Black-Eared Opossum (Didelphis aurita): Case Report [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery, 2022 A juvenile opossum was found after an episode of trauma caused by a vehicular collision. In the emergency care, vital parameters and changes related to the trauma were measured, and it was not possible to verify any changes, other than a crepitation in ...

Cranial anatomy of the earliest marsupials and the origin of opossums. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BackgroundThe early evolution of living marsupials is poorly understood in part because the early offshoots of this group are known almost exclusively from jaws and teeth.

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Toxoplasma gondii infections are common in humans and animals worldwide. Among all intermediate hosts of T. gondii, captive marsupials from Australia and New Zealand are highly susceptible to clinical toxoplasmosis.

Molecular evolution of vision-related genes may contribute to marsupial photic niche adaptations
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Vision plays an essential role in the life of many animals. While most mammals are night-active (nocturnal), many have adapted to novel light environments. This includes diurnal (day-active) and crepuscular (twilight-active) species.
