Seasonal breeding is a common feature in the life history of marsupials and has been
correlated with temperature, resource availability, and photoperiod. Didelphis aurita is a …

The relative effect of survival and reproductive rates to population growth rate is expected to
be similar across species with similar life-histories. We employed a matrix population model …

Os marsupiais (metatérios), um dos três principais grupos de mamíferos atuais, são
somente encontrados na Australásia e nas Américas. Abrangendo sete ordens e mais de …

Tropical forest marsupials exhibit large interannual variation in population sizes, with direct
negative density dependence capturing the essential features of their dynamics. However …

Highly seasonal breeding has been considered one of the keys to understanding Malagasy
primate socioecology. Strict seasonal breeding may be particularly critical for Malagasy …

We studied the litter sizes of small rodents and opossums caught in the Guianan Region
(Brazilian Amapá, French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana) by pooling the data of animals …

Male-only obligate semelparity is a well-studied reproductive strategy in some Australian
marsupials. This strategy has not been documented in South American species, although …

The temporal pattern of reproduction and its consequences for age structure and density
were investigated in a population of the gracile mouse opossum Gracilinanus microtarsus in …

Seasonal reproduction during the time when food availability is high is a widespread
strategy in marsupials, which maximizes offspring survival. In Australian marsupials …

Here we present, to the authors' knowledge for the very first time for a small marsupial, a
thorough analysis of the demography and population dynamics of the mouse opossum …
