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 …

Phylogenetic relationships among marsupial taxa have proven to be more complex than the
simple grouping of species by continent. Recent marsupials are distributed across the New …

Even though marsupials are taxonomically less diverse than placentals, they exhibit
comparable morphological and ecological diversity. However, much of their fossil record is …

Selected characters of the cranioskeletal, dental, neuroanatomical, reproductive, lymphoid,
and developmental systems that are known for most or all extant marsupial families are …

Background The early evolution of living marsupials is poorly understood in part because
the early offshoots of this group are known almost exclusively from jaws and teeth. Filling …

Relationships among the seven extant orders of marsupials remain poorly understood. Most
classifications recognize a fundamental split between Ameridelphia, which contains the …

Part of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene was amplified and sequenced for 26
marsupials. Multiple alignments for these sequences as well as seven additional sequences …

Newly described marsupial specimens of Judithian (late Campanian) and Lancian
(Maastrichtian) age in the western interior of North America (Wyoming to Alberta) have …

The Paucituberculata is an endemic group of South American marsupials, recorded from the
early Cenozoic up to the present. In this report, the most comprehensive phylogenetic …

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