Trichromacy in Australian marsupials [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 Vertebrate color vision is best developed in fish, reptiles, and birds with four distinct cone receptor visual pigments [1, 2]. These pigments, providing sensitivity from ultraviolet to infrared light, are thought to have been present in ancestral ...

American marsupials chromosomes: why study them? [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009 Marsupials, one of the three main groups of mammals, are only found in Australia and in the American continent. Studies performed in Australian marsupials have demonstrated the great potential provided by the group for the understanding of basic genetic ...

Morphological study of larynx, trachea, and lungs of Didelphis marsupialis (LINNAEUS, 1758) [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2020 Background and Aim: From a biomedical point of view, the value of marsupials as a model of primitive mammals is indisputable. Among its species, the possum is a model that allows the study of the ontogeny of different organic systems, as well as their ...

What marsupials can do for genetics and what genetics can do for marsupials
, 2021 There are good reasons to know something about the genetics of marsupials, both from the point of view of genetics, and from the point of view of marsupials.

Comparative Study of Brain Size Ontogeny: Marsupials and Placental Mammals [PDF]
, 2022 Simple Summary This study examined brain/body ontogenetic growth in marsupials and compared it with placental mammals. While marsupials display morphology and cerebral organization diverse from placentals, their neocortical arrangement and cellular ...

Journal of General Virology, 1979 A virus-like particle was observed in two continuous cell lines derived from the marsupial Sminthopsis crassicaudata (Fat-tailed Dunnart). The development of the particle was similar to the development of D-type oncoviruses. Initially, a crescentof nucleoid material was observed near the nucleus in the region of the Golgi apparatus.

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.
