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.

Echidna venom gland transcriptome provides insights into the evolution of monotreme venom. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Monotremes (echidna and platypus) are egg-laying mammals. One of their most unique characteristic is that males have venom/crural glands that are seasonally active.

Energy Homeostasis in Monotremes [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 In 1803, the French anatomist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire decided that the newly described echidna and platypus should be placed in a separate order, the monotremes, intermediate between reptiles and mammals. The first physiological observations showed monotremes had low body temperatures and metabolic rates, and the consensus was that they were at ...

Pattern of the divergence of olfactory receptor genes during tetrapod evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 The olfactory receptor (OR) multigene family is responsible for the sense of smell in vertebrate species. OR genes are scattered widely in our chromosomes and constitute one of the largest gene families in eutherian genomes.

Evolution and Organization of Monotreme Sex Chromosomes [PDF]
, 2022 The monotreme lineage, including the platypus and echidna, can be described as the oldest surviving mammals. Their evolutionary history and extraordinary biology make them excellent organisms to study key aspects of mammalian evolution.

Marsupial and Monotreme Genomes
, 2006 Marsupials and monotremes are 'alternative mammals', independent experiments of mammalian evolution that diverged from placental mammals 180 and 210 million years ago (MYA), respectively. Marsupials (e.g. kangaroo, opossum) and monotremes (e.g. platypus) differ from placental mammals in many characteristics, particularly reproduction.

Expanded HOXA13 polyalanine tracts in a monotreme [PDF]
, 2008 The N-terminal region of human HOXA13 has seven discrete polyalanine tracts. Our previous analysis of these tracts in multiple major vertebrate clades suggested that three are mammal-specific.
