Behavior and communication in the short bare-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)
Behavior and communication modes were studied in captive <u>Monodelphis domestica</u>, a small solitary, nocturnal, omnivorous marsupial in the family Didelphidae. The social biology was examined to evaluate the importance of visual, olfactory, auditory, and tactile communication. Social contexts …

Aparato trófico e variação nos hábitos alimentares de Philander opossum e Didelphis aurita (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)
… of a differentiation on food habits of Philander opossum and Didelphis aurita was tested. Were studied the diet in the field, food preference in laboratory, and their relationships with morfofisiological traits of trophic apparatus. Both marsupiais feed on invertebrates, small vertebrates and …

Carve That Opossum and Plucky, Ducky Underwear: A Narrative Inquiry of Laughter in a Preschool Classroom
This thesis is a narrative inquiry of laughter in a University Lab School preschool classroom that describes the many situations in which children laugh as well as laughter's importance for the children, for me, and for all of us as a whole within the context of our classroom. To date, there is a …

Ontogeny of the temporomandibular joint and middle ear of the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) and their implications for mammalian cranial evolution
… these remain untested. Ontogeny of the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) TMJ resembles the evolutionary trajectory of mammalian jaw and ear bones, making it a useful model to study soft tissue development. We explored the soft tissue connections between the TMJ, middle ear, and jaw …

Limb cell behaviors in Monodelphis domestica growth and development: the effects of Fgf pathway activators and inhibitors
… of differential organ growth, the limbs of the opossum (Monodelphis domestica) to investigate the cellular and molecular basis of differential organ growth in mammals. Opossum limbs are an ideal system with which to study differential growth. Opossum forelimbs grow much faster than hind limbs, …

The Characterization of Several Intestinal Spirochetes of Animal Origin
… intestinal spirochetes from a pig, dog, mouse, opossum, and gibbon on the basis of structural and selected biochemical characters, (2) to evaluate these properties using numerical taxonomy in order to provide more information for the classification of such agents, and (3) to further characterize …

The development of the marsupial shoulder girdle: A case study in Monodelphis domestica
… coracoid reduction in the gray short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica. Furthermore, it explores the expression patterns and levels of target genes in a comparative study between Monodelphis domestica and Mus musculus. A quantitative morphometric study of shoulder girdle development …

Faunal Analysis and Comparative Study of Mont Repose Plantation
… represented within the collection include deer, opossum, raccoon, fish, bird, turtle, and alligator. By comparing the findings from the Mont Repose structure with other coastal plantation sites, it is suggested that conclusions can be drawn about who was occupying the structure. Also, it may be …

Thalidomide-induced teratogenesis in gray short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis domestica)
… We propose to develop the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) as a novel mammalian to study thalidomide teratogenesis. In M. domestica we have successfully recreated most morphological defects found in human thalidomide victims. Through RNA sequencing, we have also identified …

Improving the Knowledge of EPM
… neurona. Carried by the North American opossum, Didelphis virginiana, horses are exposed to S. neurona when eating or drinking food or water contaminated with opossum feces. While exposure to the protozoa is high, only around 1% of horses develop clinical disease. While the mechanism by …

A Scent-Station Survey of Medium-Size Mammals on the Callaway Preserve, Harris County, Georgia
… of coyotes, raccoons, armadillos, foxes, opossums, and skunks. Of the total number of visits to the scent-stations, 36.36 % were coyotes, 18.18% were foxes 22.73% were armadillos, and 22.73% were raccoons. Only one opossum and no skunks visited the stations, thus the data was not included. …

Mammalian comparative genomics and epigenomics
… sequences of the chimpanzee, the dog and the opossum. These species share a last common ancestor with humans approximately 6 million, 80 million and 140 million years ago, respectively, and therefore provide distinct perspectives on our evolutionary history. We apply computational methods to …
