The "backdoor pathway" of androgen synthesis in human male sexual development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mammalian sex determination (male versus female) is largely controlled by genes, whereas sex differentiation (development of reproductive structures) is largely controlled by hormones. Work in the 20th century indicated that female external anatomy was a

Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in wild rodents and marsupials from the Atlantic Forest, state of São Paulo, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Toxoplasma 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

Genetic Structure and Gene Flow in Eastern Grey Kangaroos in an Isolated Conservation Reserve

open access: yesDiversity, 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

Atlantic mammal traits: a dataset of morphological traits of mammals in the atlantic forest of south America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.

The transcriptomic evolution of mammalian pregnancy:gene expression innovations in endometrial stromal fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

A Marsupial Oncovirus?

open access: yesJournal 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.

Characterization of extracellular spike waveforms recorded in wallaby primary visual cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Extracellular recordings were made from 642 units in the primary visual cortex (V1) of a highly visual marsupial, the Tammar wallaby. The receptive field (RF) characteristics of the cells were objectively estimated using the non-linear input model (NIM),

A new genus and species of Heligmonellidae (Nematoda: Trichostrongylina) parasitic in Delomys dorsalis (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) from Misiones, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Alippistrongylus bicaudatus gen. et sp. n. (Nematoda: Heligmonellidae) is described from the striped Atlantic forest rat, Delomys dorsalis (Hensel) (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae), from the province of Misiones in Argentina.

¬Immunolocalization of cation-chloride cotransporters in the developing and mature spinal cord of opossums, Monodelphis domestica

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2013
Spinal inhibition is required to generate coordinated outputs between antagonistic muscles during locomotion. It relies on low neuronal chloride concentration set by two cation-chloride cotransporters, NKCC1 and KCC2 which, respectively, pumps Cl- in or ...

Assessing the potential for intraguild predation among taxonomically disparate micro-carnivores: marsupials and arthropods [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Interspecific competition may occur when resources are limited, and is often most intense between animals in the same ecological guild. Intraguild predation (IGP) is a distinctive form of interference competition, where a dominant predator selectively ...
