▪ Abstract We summarize the recent information on field metabolic rates (FMR) of wild
terrestrial vertebrates as determined by the doubly labeled water technique. Allometric …

Discovering the distinctive photophysical properties of semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs)
has made these a popular subject in recent advances in nanotechnology-related analytical …

Following our traditional concept of Mammalia, and thus including a number of forms known
only by fossils of the Mesozoic, the earliest mammals are from the Late Triassic, a bit over …

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 …

In the tradition of GG Simpson's classic work, Kenneth D. Rose's The Beginning of the Age of
Mammals analyzes the events that occurred directly before and after the mysterious KT …

This report summarizes a decade of morphological and molecular research on the
phylogenetic relationships of didelphid marsupials (opossums), a substantially intact …

Drawing on the latest research from around the world, Life of Marsupials explores this
unusual group of mammals covering the extraordinary diversity of forms around the world …

The influence of climate (mean annual rainfall, rainfall variability, ambient temperature, T a)
on the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of 267 small mammals (< 1 kg) from six zoogeographical …

When isolated from predators, costly and no longer functional anti-predator behaviour
should be selected against. Predator naiveté is often pronounced on islands, where species …

We propose a phylogeny of all major groups of Mesozoic mammals based on phylogenetic
analyses of 46 taxa and 275 osteological and dental characters, using parsimony methods …
