Researchers have found evidence of a previously unknown branch of the marsupial family tree, a discovery that could reshape ...

To better understand patagium evolution, the team focused on marsupials. That is because the ability to glide has developed repeatedly, using similar anatomical changes, in closely related marsupials ...

Phylogenetic analysis of marsupial evolution integrates molecular sequences, morphological data and fossil evidence to reconstruct the relationships and temporal radiation of metatherian mammals.

Around 100 million years ago, a remarkable evolutionary shift allowed placental mammals to diversify and conquer many cold regions of our planet. New research shows that the typical mammalian heater ...

Researchers explain the genomic and developmental basis of the patagium, the thin skin membrane that allows some mammalian species to soar through the air. People say "When pigs fly" to describe the ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown branch of the marsupial family tree, a finding that could reshape understanding of how Australia's unique mammals evolved. In a study published in the ...

Marsupial moles are perhaps Australia's most bizarre mammals. Known as "itjaritjari" to the Indigenous Aṉangu people and featuring prominently in their tales, the marsupial mole is rarely observed, ...

The marsupial mole, an elusive creature that swims through the sands of remote Australian deserts, seems to have suffered an abrupt population crash about 70,000 years ago, possibly due to climate ...
