On the development of the chondrocranium and the histological anatomy of the head in perinatal stages of marsupial mammals [PDF]
An overview of the literature on the chondrocranium of marsupial mammals reveals a relative conservatism in shape and structures. We document the histological cranial anatomy of individuals representing Monodelphis domestica, Dromiciops gliroides ...

Descriptive Histology and Anatomy of the Nasal Cavity and Its Associated Sensory Organs in the European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) Based on Four Standardised Transverse Sections. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The nasal cavity of European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) harbours a well‐developed olfactory system, essential for food provision and communication. Additionally, it acts as a first line of defence by preventing pathogens and irritants from reaching the lungs, thereby playing an important physiological role.

Revealing histological and morphological features of female reproductive system in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) [PDF]
The tree shrew has been used as a primate animal model in neuroscience studies but it has only rarely been employed in the study of reproductive systems. This is mainly because we know very little about the histological features of reproductive organs of

Posture does not matter! Paw usage and grasping paw preference in a small-bodied rooting quadrupedal mammal. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Recent results in birds, marsupials, rodents and nonhuman primates suggest that phylogeny and ecological factors such as body size, diet and postural habit of a species influence limb usage and the direction and strength of limb laterality ...

Intra- and Interspecies Analyses of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Gene Family Reveal Independent Evolution in Primates and Rodents [PDF]
Various rodent and primate DNAs exhibit a stronger intra- than interspecies cross-hybridization with probes derived from the N-terminal domain exons of human and rat carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-like genes.
