Thermoregulation in monotremes: riddles in a mosaic

Australian Journal of Zoology, 2009
The three extant genera of the Monotremata have evolved, probably from a pre-Cretaceous Gondwanan origin, independently of the Theria to display a variety of ancestral and derived features. A comparison of their thermoregulation reveals a diversity of physiology that might represent both plesiomorphic and apomorphic elements within this mosaic.

Neurobiology of Monotremes

2013
Neurobiology of Monotremes brings together current information on the development, structure, function and behavioural ecology of the monotremes. The monotremes are an unusual and evolutionarily important group of mammals showing striking behavioural and physiological adaptations to their niches.

Parathyroids and ultimobranchial bodies in monotremes

The Anatomical Record, 1999
Only scant information is available in the scientific literature on the parathyroids and ultimobranchial bodies in the primitive mammals, the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) and platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus). The major aim of this paper is to describe the morphology of the monotreme parathyroid gland and to compare it with parathyroids in ...

Chemoarchitecture of the Monotreme Olfactory Bulb

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2006
The cyto- and chemoarchitecture of the olfactory bulb of two monotremes (shortbeaked echidna and platypus) was studied to determine if there are any chemoarchitectural differences from therian mammals. Nissl staining in conjunction with enzyme reactivity for NADPH diaphorase, and immunoreactivity for calcium binding proteins (parvalbumin, calbindin and

Thermoregulation in marsupials and monotremes

2015
Seasonal weather extremes and climate have a direct and indirect influence on the physical and behavioural processes of animals. Understanding how these processes differ between species is a fundamental element of understanding how animals interact with their environment.
