Definition of Species of Pouched Four-Eyed Opossums (Didelphidae, Philander) [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 1997
We hypothesize phyletic relationships among taxa of the didelphid marsupial genus Philander , based on sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Data are available for six taxa recognized at either the specific or subspecific levels; P. opossum opossum Lin-neaus (eastern and northeastern Amazonia), P. opossum canus Osgood (western Amazonia), P,

Plasma concentrations of progesterone and testosterone in captive woolly opossums (Caluromys philander) [PDF]

Reproduction, 1989
Plasma testosterone and progesterone concentrations were measured in captive woolly opossums, a didelphid marsupial originating from neotropical forests in French Guyana. Although not exposed to cyclic environmental conditions as in the field, both sexes exhibited spontaneous circannual changes in sexual hormones. Males showed synchronous variations in

Ecological correlates of mammal β-diversity in Amazonian land-bridge islands: from small- to large-bodied species [PDF]

, 2018
Aim: Mega hydroelectric dams have become one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in the lowland tropics. In these reservoirs, vertebrate studies have focused on local (α) diversity measures, whereas between‐site (β) diversity remains poorly assessed

Under the Shade of a Coolabah Tree: A Second Cache of Tulas From the Boulia District, Western Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Ontological polyglossia: the art of communicating in opacity* Polyglossie ontologique : l'art de communiquer dans l'opacité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What do communicating with a baby, with an animal, and with an ancestor have in common? In all three cases, people engage in opaque communication that is far from the standard psycholinguistic model of transparent interaction based on shared intentionality.
