Global priorities for conservation across multiple dimensions of mammalian diversity [PDF]
, 2017 Conservation priorities that are based on species distribution, endemism, and vulnerability may underrepresent biologically unique species as well as their functional roles and evolutionary histories.

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.

Molecular conservation of marsupial and eutherian placentation and lactation
eLife, 2017 Eutherians are often mistakenly termed ‘placental mammals’, but marsupials also have a placenta to mediate early embryonic development. Lactation is necessary for both infant and fetal development in eutherians and marsupials, although marsupials have a ...

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 ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

The transcriptomic evolution of mammalian pregnancy:gene expression innovations in endometrial stromal fibroblasts [PDF]
, 2016 The endometrial stromal fibroblast (ESF) is a cell type present in the uterine lining of therian mammals. In the stem lineage of eutherian mammals, ESF acquired the ability to differentiate into decidual cells in order to allow embryo implantation.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Genetic Structure and Gene Flow in Eastern Grey Kangaroos in an Isolated Conservation Reserve
Diversity, 2021 Dispersal is a key process for population persistence, particularly in fragmented landscapes. Connectivity between habitat fragments can be easily estimated by quantifying gene flow among subpopulations. However, the focus in ecological research has been
