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 …

Muscle is a complex tissue that has been studied on numerous hierarchical levels: from
gross descriptions of muscle organization to cellular analyses of fiber profiles. In the middle …

Macropodids are the most diverse group of marsupial herbivores ever to have evolved. They
have been the subject of more phylogenetic studies than any other marsupial family, yet …

Masticatory muscle features allow for an understanding of how dietary habits and
masticatory functions have evolved across mammalian lineages. Herbivorous mammals …

The extinct macropodine kangaroo, Protemnodon nombe, was first described in 1983 on the
basis of two partial dentaries from a late Pleistocene deposit in Nombe Rockshelter, Papua …

Species of the kangaroo genus Protemnodon were common members of late Cenozoic
communities across Australia and New Guinea until their extinction in the late Pleistocene …

Increasing body size is accompanied by facial elongation across a number of mammalian
taxa. This trend forms the basis of a proposed evolutionary rule, cranial evolutionary …

Kangaroos and kin (superfamily M acropodoidea) are the principal endemic herbivores of A
ustralia and the most diverse radiation of marsupial herbivores ever to have evolved. As is …

There is a deep and rich literature of comparative studies of jaw muscles in mammals but no
recent analyses employ modern phylogenetic techniques to better understand evolutionary …

Marsupial herbivores exhibit a wide variety of skull shapes and sizes to exploit different
ecological niches. Several studies on teeth, dentaries, and jaw adductor muscles indicate …
