The history of savanna vertebrates in the New World reveals one of Nature's boldest
experiments. Independently, in the heart of each American continent, open-country habitats …

This report summarizes a decade of morphological and molecular research on the
phylogenetic relationships of didelphid marsupials (opossums), a substantially intact …

Drawing on the latest research from around the world, Life of Marsupials explores this
unusual group of mammals covering the extraordinary diversity of forms around the world …

The current literature on marsupial phylogenetics includes numerous studies based on
analyses of morphological data with limited sampling of Recent and fossil taxa, and many …

Bony position, occlusal relationships, and tooth replacement have been the criteria most
commonly used for assessing mammalian dental homologies, since first proposed by Owen …

THE phylogenetic affiliation of the extinct marsupial wolf (Thy-lacinus cynocephalus), which
once was widespread in Australia, has been uncertain. On the basis of morphology, some …

We review past DNA-hybridisation studies of marsupials and present a reanalysis of the
data, utilising results from our and additional studies to formulate and rationalise a new …

Bandicoots and bilbies (Marsupialia: Peramelemorphia) represent the dominant omnivorous
clade of Australasian marsupials and, as ground-dwelling, small-to medium-sized mammals …

A randomization procedure is proposed to determine if sets of data used for phylogenetic
analysis contain phylogenetically nonrandom information. The method compares the …

In order to test the results of a previous study of didelphid marsupial phylogeny based on
IRBP nuclear gene sequences (Jansa and Voss, 2000. Phylogenetic studies on didelphid …
