Skin development in the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)-From skin respiration to thermoregulation. [PDF]
J AnatThe skin development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been examined using histological, morphometric, and μCT methods. During a long period of postnatal development, the structural differentiation of the skin results in a functional shift from transcutaneous gas exchange to thermoregulation in later life.

Development of the pulmonary vasculature in the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)-3D reconstruction by microcomputed tomography. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract In the marsupial gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica), the majority of lung development, including the maturation of pulmonary vasculature, takes place in ventilated functioning state during the postnatal period. The current study uses X‐ray computed tomography (μCT) to three‐dimensionally reconstruct the vascular trees of the ...

Hormonal evidence for induced ovulation in Monodelphis domestica [PDF]
Reproduction, 1992 Breeding activity in the South American grey opossum, Monodelphis domestica, is stimulated by the presence of males. This study presents the first analysis of changes in concentrations of plasma progesterone during pregnant and nonpregnant cycles. In Expt 1, females were paired with either intact or vasectomized males to stimulate a reproductive cycle,

Photic preference of the short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica). [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2014 The gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) is a nocturnal South American marsupial that has been gaining popularity as a laboratory animal. However, compared to traditional laboratory animals like rats, very little is known about its behavior, either in the wild or in a laboratory setting.
