Partial dosage compensation in Strepsiptera, a sister group of beetles. [PDF]
, 2015 Sex chromosomes have evolved independently in many different taxa, and so have mechanisms to compensate for expression differences on sex chromosomes in males and females. Different clades have evolved vastly different ways to achieve dosage compensation,

Genetic characterization of flea-derived Bartonella species from native animals in Australia suggests host-parasite co-evolution [PDF]
, 2011 Fleas are important arthropod vectors for a variety of diseases in veterinary and human medicine, and bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella are among the organisms most commonly transmitted by these ectoparasites.

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.

Plantation forests and biodiversity conservation [PDF]
, 2003 There are five key reasons why biodiversity conservation should be considered a part of plantation management. (1) The plantation estate is large, and balancing various land management values with wood and pulp production is important when extensive ...

Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]
, 2020 Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

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 ...

Marsupials and monotremes sort genome treasures from junk [PDF]
, 2016 A recent landmark paper demonstrates the unique contribution of marsupials and monotremes to comparative genome analysis, filling an evolutionary gap between the eutherian mammals (including humans) and more distant vertebrate ...

Marsupial-specific microRNAs evolved from marsupial-specific transposable elements [PDF]
Gene, 2009 Using a direct miRNA cloning strategy we previously identified fourteen marsupial- or species-specific microRNAs in the marsupial species Monodelphis domestica. In the present study we examined each of the pre-miRNAs and their flanking sequences and demonstrate that half of these miRNAs evolved from marsupial-specific transposable elements.
