Anatomical study of brachial plexuses of a koala, a Tasmanian devil, and a common ringtail possum
Folia MorphologicaBACKGROUND: Marsupials have a narrower range of forelimb morphological features than placental mammals. It is hypothesised that this is due to a constraint in the reproductive biology of marsupials.

A Poxvirus in a Marsupial Papilloma
Journal of General Virology, 1972 We wish to present some evidence for the implication of an as yet uncharacterized member of the pox group of viruses in producing epidermal papillomata in a marsupial, Setonix brachyurus. Generally neoplasms in marsupials have not been investigated in any great detail (Barker, Calaby & Sharman, 1963), and it is interesting that in the population of S ...

American marsupials chromosomes: why study them?
Genetics and Molecular BiologyMarsupials, 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 ...

Evolution of Transthyretin in Marsupials [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1995 The evolution of the expression and the structure of the gene for transthyretin, a thyroxine‐binding plasma protein formerly called prealbumin, was studied in three marsupial species: the South American polyprotodont Monodelphis domestica, the Australian polyprotodont Sminthopsis macroura and the Australian diprotodont Petaurus breviceps.

Marsupial Gut Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The study of the gut microbiome in threatened wildlife species has enormous potential to improve conservation efforts and gain insights into host-microbe coevolution. Threatened species are often housed in captivity, and during this process undergo considerable changes to their gut microbiome.
