Sensory receptors in monotremes [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998 This is a summary of the current knowledge of sensory receptors in skin of the bill of the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus , and the snout of the echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus .

The Australian Monotremes [PDF]
Nature, 1877 WITH reference to the existence of Tachyglossus (olim Echidna) in North Australia, and the recent discovery of one (or possibly two) species in New Guinea, the following account, which I lighted on a few evenings ago, when looking over an old volume of the field, seems to be of sufficient interest to warrant its transfer to the pages of NATURE.

Pectoral girdle and forelimb musculoskeletal function in the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus): insights into mammalian locomotor evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Although evolutionary transformation of the pectoral girdle and forelimb appears to have had a profound impact on mammalian locomotor and ecological diversity, both the sequence of anatomical changes and the functional implications remain unclear ...

Electroreception in monotremes [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999 ABSTRACT I will briefly review the history of the bill sense of the platypus, a sophisticated combination of electroreception and mechanoreception that coordinates information about aquatic prey provided from the bill skin mechanoreceptors and electroreceptors, and provide an evolutionary account of electroreception in the three extant ...

Tracing Monotreme Venom Evolution in the Genomics Era
Toxins, 2014 The monotremes (platypuses and echidnas) represent one of only four extant venomous mammalian lineages. Until recently, monotreme venom was poorly understood.

Identification and functional characterization of a novel monotreme- specific antibacterial protein expressed during lactation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Monotremes are the only oviparous mammals and exhibit a fascinating combination of reptilian and mammalian characters. They represent a component of synapsidal reproduction by laying shelled eggs which are incubated outside the mother's body.

Species identification of Australian marsupials using collagen fingerprinting
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 The study of faunal remains from archaeological sites is often complicated by the presence of large numbers of highly fragmented, morphologically unidentifiable bones.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The novel mammalian jaw joint, known in humans as the temporomandibular joint or TMJ, is cushioned by a fibrocartilage disc. This disc is secondarily absent in therian mammals that have lost their dentition, such as giant anteaters and some baleen whales.
