Ecology of the eastern quoll dasyurus viverrinus, (Dasyrudae: Marsupialia)
The ecology of the eastern quoll Dasyurus viverrinus was studied in southern Tasmania from July 1978 to June 1981. Most of the research on population processes and social organization was conducted on a population in the Huon peninsula. Qualls had one breeding season each year. Although females …

Molecular systematics and conservation genetics of gliding petaurids (Marsupialia: petauridae).
The gliding petaurids are small sized arboreal and nocturnal marsupials restricted to Australia and the New Guinean region. They have suffered range contractions since European settlement, and most of the species are of conservation concern, either nationally or at a state level. This study applied …

Relações filogenéticas da subfamília Didelphinae: padrões de variação da morfologia crânio-dentária (Marsupialia: Didelphidae)
Used a cladistic analysis to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships among living and fossil genera of the Subfamily Didelphinae. Four different genera were used as outgroups: Caluromys (Caluromyinae, Didelphidae), Sparassocynus (Sparassocynidae), Caenolestes (Caenolestidae) e Dromiciops …

Diversity, phylogeny and biostratigraphy of diprotodontoids (marsupialia: diprotodontidae, palorchestidae) from the Riversleigh world heritage area
The extinct diprotodontoids were large bodied, browsing herbivorous marsupials most closely related to, among living marsupials, wombats. Referred to two families, Diprotodontidae and Palorchestidae, diprotodontoids are geographically and temporally widespread vombatimorphian taxa in Australian and …

The ecology and utilisation of Lumholtz's tree kangaroos Dendrolagus lumholtzi (Marsupialia: Macropodidae), on the Atherton Tablelands, far north Queensland.
Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus Iumholtzi), one of Australia’s largest folivores and one of only two tree-kangaroo species endemic to Australia and far north Queensland’s Wet Tropics. D. Iumholtzi are most commonly found in the fragmented rainforests that remain within an agricultural matrix …

Evolution of the diets of Australian Possums (Marsupialia: Phalangeriformes) from the Etadunna Formation in the Lake Eyre Basin, South Australia
<p>The Lake Eyre Basin in South Australia holds Australia’s oldest known fossil marsupials representing both extant and extinct families in the Etadunna Formation, a formation that spans nearly two million years from 23.3 to 25 MA. During that two-million-year period, the terrestrial herbivorous …

Comportamento postural e locomotor ao escalar de sete espécies marsupiais (Didelphimorphia) da Mata Atlântica
The stratification of didelphids on the arboreal strata seem to be related to their body size, anatomical differences and resources partitioning. Researches on their arboreal ability are still lacking and they could reveal specifics behaviors. ln this study was investigated climbing gait on …
