Australian Marsupial Carnivores: Recent Advances in Palaeontology
Over the last two decades, the study of new fossil material has yielded major insights into the evolution of Australia's marsupial carnivores. This material includes the first complete or nearcomplete crania for Tertiary representatives of Dasyuridae, Thylacinidae and Propleopinae (Hypsiprymnodontidae), as well as the first skulls known for the thylacoleonid genera, Priscileo and Wakaleo. Also ...
متن کاملHammer-toothed 'marsupial skinks' from the Australian Cenozoic.
Extinct species of Malleodectes gen. nov. from Middle to Late Miocene deposits of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, northwestern Queensland, Australia are enigmatic, highly specialized, probably snail-eating marsupials. Dentally, they closely resemble a bizarre group of living heterodont, wet forest scincid lizards from Australia (Cyclodomorphus) that may well have outcompeted them as snail-...
متن کاملPlant diversity and structure describe the presence of a new, threatened Australian marsupial within its highly restricted, post-fire habitat
Management of critical habitat for threatened species with small ranges requires location-specific, fine-scale survey data. The silver-headed antechinus (Antechinus argentus) is known from only two isolated, fire-prone locations. At least one of these populations, at Kroombit Tops National Park in central-eastern Queensland, Australia, possesses a very small range. Here, we present detailed veg...
متن کاملDisentangling the Relationship of the Australian Marsupial Orders Using Retrotransposon and Evolutionary Network Analyses
The ancestors to the Australian marsupials entered Australia around 60 (54-72) Ma from Antarctica, and radiated into the four living orders Peramelemorphia, Dasyuromorphia, Diprotodontia, and Notoryctemorphia. The relationship between the four Australian marsupial orders has been a long-standing question, because different phylogenetic studies have not been able to consistently reconstruct the ...
متن کاملThe ecology of visual pigment tuning in an Australian marsupial: the honey possum Tarsipes rostratus.
While most mammals have no more than two types of cone photoreceptor, four species of Australian marsupial have recently been shown to possess three types, and thus have the potential for trichromatic colour vision. Interestingly, the long-wave cones of the honey possum Tarsipes rostratus are tuned to longer wavelengths than those of the other species measured to date. We tested whether the hon...
