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.

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 ...

Postnatal and Adult Neurogenesis in Mammals, Including Marsupials
Cells, 2022 In mammals, neurogenesis occurs during both embryonic and postnatal development. In eutherians, most brain structures develop embryonically; conversely, in marsupials, a number of brain structures develop after birth.

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 ...

Litter size and reproductive condition of small mammals in southern Goiás, Brazil
Mammalogy Notes, 2021 Litter size and reproductive conditions are important in natural history. However, this information is scarce in scientific literature. Here, we presented litter size data for eight small mammal species (four marsupials and four rodents) and investigated

Mechanisms of Choice in X-Chromosome Inactivation
Cells, 2022 Early in development, placental and marsupial mammals harbouring at least two X chromosomes per nucleus are faced with a choice that affects the rest of their lives: which of those X chromosomes to transcriptionally inactivate.

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.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Native mammals are suffering widespread and ongoing population declines across northern Australia. These declines are likely driven by multiple, interacting factors including altered fire regimes, predation by feral cats, and grazing by feral herbivores.
