Identification of the mRNA encoding interleukin-6 and its receptor, interleukin-6 receptor α, in five marsupial species
Expressed coding sequences for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-6 receptor α (IL-6R)
were examined in five marsupial species. Full length expressed coding sequences for IL-6 …

Immunosenescence in a captive semelparous marsupial, the red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura)
Background The red-tailed phascogale is a 'Near Threatened'dasyurid marsupial. Males are
semelparous and die off shortly after the breeding season in the wild due to a stress-related …

Hearing thresholds of small native Australian mammals–red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura), kultarr (Antechinomys laniger) and spinifex hopping-mouse …
Hearing is essential for communication, to locate prey and to avoid predators. We addressed
the paucity of information regarding hearing in Australian native mammals by specifically …
