Thermal Biology And Energentics Of Carnivorous Marsupials
, 2009 Extant carnivorous marsupials are small (4-13,000 g) and almost all are nocturnal or crepuscular and are active during the coldest part of the day. Heat loss and gain via their relative large surface area is therefore likely to be substantial and to have

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.This case report describes distal regrowth of the fourth hind digit (P4) following traumatic autoamputation in a young adult eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus). Injury to P4 is generally considered to carry a poor prognosis due to its critical role in weight‐bearing and propulsion during hopping.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.

, 2008 Cryptosporidium macropodum n. sp is described. Oocysts of C. macropodum from the feces of kangaroos (Macropus spp.) are morphologically indistinguishable from other mammalian Cryptosporidium species, including C. parvum, C. hominis, C. suis, and C. canis.

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in wild kangaroos using an ELISA
, 2009 Infection with Toxoplasma gondii is a significant problem in Australian marsupials, and can lead to devastating disease and predispose animals to predation. T.

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaToxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects a large spectrum of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Small rodents and marsupials play an important role in the epidemiology of T. gondii because they are sources of infection for domestic and

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Physical and Comparative Gene Maps in Marsupials
, 2010 Comparative gene mapping in marsupials is responsible for many advances in our understanding of the events occurring during mammalian genome evolution. Over the past few years, the ease and speed at which genes can be physically mapped in marsupials has ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...
