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 …

The initial stages of the evolutionary history of peratheriines, the European herpetotheriid
metatherians, are largely unknown, primarily due to their limited morphological dental …

As evolutionary biologists, we live in exciting and promising times. The material basis of our
science is growing at an unprecedented rate; fossils preserving structures we thought …

Peradectidae are Paleogene 'opossum-like'stem-metatherians, largely Laurasian, whose
evolutionary history remains unclear. Based on new remains (mainly dental) discovered in …

Marsupials represent a major mammalian diversification today restricted geographically to
the Americas (but chiefly to the Neotropical Region) and Australasia. The group is highly …

Metatherians represented the most diverse group of Paleogene mammals of South America.

The diversity and phylogeny of marsupials and their stem relatives (collectively, Metatheria)
are reviewed, from their divergence from their sister taxon (Eutheria) and the earliest fossil …
