64. Metatheria From their general morphology and from a few scant fossils, suchotheriids seemto As marsupials, suchotheriids cannot give birth to their young in the water http://www.bowdoin.edu/~dbensen/Spec/Metatheria-SA.html

Marsupials are the first of the two great groups of therian (live-bearing) mammals, distinguished by their tendency to expel the embryo from the womb at a very early stage, and then nurse the infant externally while it develops. Marsupials originated in the early Cretaceous, possibly in North America , and then spread around the globe. Today, marsupials are most numerous in Australia , where almost every mammal belong to that order. They also exist in great numbers in South America and some dwell in Eurasia and North America For the most part, Spec's metatherians are normal, diminutive Spec mammals, but this rule of thumb is not always followed. The Pliocene and Pleistocene brought with them massive environmental changes that did much to loosen the dinosaurs' hold on terrestrial niches. The Ice Age replaced the forest and jungle of the dinosaur world with tundra and steppe, driving many clades to extinction and opening opportunities to others. The oceans were also open for colonization by mammals, and the otter-like selkies and each-uisges have made full advantage of this habitat, even going so far as to push the dinosaurian hesperornithians out of many of their niches over the course of the Neogene.

65. Marsupials Are Different a tourist. In only the most general sense is there an internationalconcern to conserve and manage marsupials. Australia and New http://www.newcastle.edu.au/discipline/biology/marsupialcrc/difmars.html

Marsupials: An Australian Opportunity, Problem and Responsibility In A. B. Paterson's book of children's verse The Animals Noah Forgot an English swan lost in the bush asks a koala "Can you tell me where I am?". The koala's response is to tell stories of the antics of 'native bears', 'porcupines' and bandicoots. These now seem very dated: however, the stories and the Norman Lindsay illustrations capture very well the strangeness that Europeans felt, and still feel, for Australian animals. To a large extent we have perpetuated this Eurocentric focus which has meant that the potential of the unique plants and animals of Australia has been largely neglected even up to the present time. A complex mix of geography and history make marsupials an essentially Australian-New Zealand scientific and practical issue. The perspectives are very different; Australian treasure versus New Zealand threat. However, in both cases our ability to conserve or manage populations, or use the resources they offer, depends on a greatly expanded scientific base and the co-ordinated development of practical management tools that are the aims of the proposed CRC. Despite these imperatives there is currently no major focus comparable to a CRC in either Australia or New Zealand to coordinate and optimise the efforts of the wide range of groups and disciplines active in marsupial biology. Marsupials are also found in the Americas, but our international scientific colleagues are interested in marsupials mainly as an antipodean curiosity, in much the same way as a tourist. In only the most general sense is there an international concern to conserve and manage marsupials. Australia and New Zealand alone will have to undertake the research to produce the technologies required.

December 2000, Volume 21 No. 4 General News IPM Systems Internet Round-Up Announcements General News Mammal Biocontrol: the Hunt Continues Mammal population control is an emotive subject, and scientists searching for effective solutions take this into account. The (particularly urban) public tends to view with disfavour the notion of furry creatures suffering a violent or lingering death, although afflicted landowners may see it rather differently. The public is also very chary about the deliberate introduction of mammalian disease and the possibility of its spread to nontarget species (including humans); species boundaries are no longer confidently regarded as impregnable. Added to that are growing concerns about the environmental impact of poison baits. The challenge for those charged with controlling mammal populations, then, is to come up with solutions that are effective yet meet these constraints. Germs and Worms Historically, the most common approach to mammal control has been to increase mortality in the population by culling (e.g. shooting or poison baiting), by spreading disease or by exclusion (e.g. fencing). For introduced mammals, levels of disease may be lower than they are in the home range, its pathogen natural enemies having been left behind. In this case, a `classical' biological control approach is attractive.

What People Said [an error occurred while processing this directive] General Information on ISS2003 If you are interested in any area of science, from the very smallest building blocks of matter, through molecules, microbes, plants and animals, planets, stars, galaxies and on to the very largest - the study of the universe itself, then the 2003 Professor Harry Messel International Science School will be of interest to you. This Science School gathers together 140 top science students from nine countries (Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America) for two weeks of lectures, activities such as laboratory tours and experiments, and social events. The lecturers have been selected on their international reputations and their ability to communicate. They will be discussing their research, from blue sky topics such as galactic cannibalism and the early universe to immediately applicable research such as the effect of radiation on biological and electronic systems and high resolution meteorology: from the apparently familiar, such as Australian marsupials to the definitely strange, like the extremophiles - organisms that thrive in extreme temperatures or pH conditions.

70. Affinity To A Distinct Group of all Rodents, the bizcacha is most nearly related to marsupials; but in the pointsin which it approaches this order, its relations are general, and not to http://www.science-times.org/chapter13page10.html

The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin Chapter 13: Mutual affinities of organic beings - Page 10 Science Times Mr. Waterhouse has remarked that, when a member belonging to one group of animals exhibits an affinity to a quite distinct group, this affinity in most cases is general and not special: thus, according to Mr. Waterhouse, of all Rodents, the bizcacha is most nearly related to Marsupials; but in the points in which it approaches this order, its relations are general, and not to any one marsupial species more than to another. As the points of affinity of the bizcacha to Marsupials are believed to be real and not merely adaptive, they are due on my theory to inheritance in common. Therefore we must suppose either that all Rodents, including the bizcacha, branched off from some very ancient Marsupial, which will have had a character in some degree intermediate with respect to all existing Marsupials; or that both Rodents and Marsupials branched off from a common progenitor, and that both groups have since undergone much modification in divergent directions. On either view we may suppose that the bizcacha has retained, by inheritance, more of the character of its ancient progenitor than have other Rodents; and therefore it will not be specially related to any one existing Marsupial, but indirectly to all or nearly all Marsupials, from having partially retained the character of their common progenitor, or of an early member of the group.

76. Native Vegetation - General Vegetation Management Guidelines In general, areas of remnant vegetation should not be too widely dispersed or especiallyfor less mobile species like small mammals and arboreal marsupials. http://www.lwa.gov.au/nativevegetation/managing.asp

General Vegetation Management Guidelines Sometimes comforting, surprising, or challenging: some key findings of research about the ecology of bush management. What is the minimum native vegetation cover necessary? There is a lot of discussion at the moment about setting targets and thresholds for native vegetation and biodiversity within a regional planning framework. In southern Australia many areas have less than 10% of their original native vegetation cover, which has had major impacts on native plants and animals, as well as on water and nutrient fluxes. Research shows that 10% cover is a minimum threshold for the persistence of many species of fauna - and at this level of cover many species would already have been lost. In other words, these systems are being pushed beyond their limits! Based on our current level of understanding across a range of research projects and locations, a minimum of 30% woodland or forest cover is needed to avoid serious ecological damage. This isn't an absolute or a maximum - it's a good indicator!

Rarer in wetter forests. The high densities recorded at Perup, WA, (e.g. 0.2 animals/ha) may provide a guide as to what densities in optimum habitat may once have been. 6 Present range and abundance: Range reduced by about 50%, predominantly due to agricultural clearing and deforestation associated with gold mining activities. Presumed extinct in SA (last reliable record 1967). Now largely confined to dry sclerophyll forest. In NSW most commonly encountered on the north coast, particularly from Taree to Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour and parts of the hunter Valley. Abundance within remaining range mostly unknown as the species eludes conventional fauna survey techniques. However, its distribution appears patchy and it seems to be absent or in very low numbers across much of its remaining habitat. Typically reported from infrequent single sightings and/or captures in most regions. Successful re-introduction trials of captive animals have been undertaken by T. Soderquist.

There are in fact over 50 species of these generally predatory marsupials (Strahan 1998), making it the biggest family of marsupials (Egerton 199), yet they are little known by the general public. This is probably the result of the fact that, unlike kangaroos and possums, the dasyurids are very rarely seen, for on the whole they are small, fast and generally nocturnal in habit. Being predators, they are also at the top of the food chain, and naturally less abundant. Most dasyurids prey on insects and other invertebrates. However, they are well known amongst biologists for their tenacious nature and it is not uncommon for them to tackle prey that are larger than themselves, such as small birds and other mammals. The bigger dasyurids will catch larger birds and feed on carcasses. In turn, they are prey for many Australian snakes, although it has been suggested that the aggressive nature of dasyurids has resulted in the high incidence of strongly venomous snakes in Australia relative to the rest of the world (Martin 1993). Like many predators, they have evolved a fairly uniform morphology. Dasyurids tend to have four equal length limbs. The tail is not prehensile (Strahan and Cayley 1995) and may be covered in hair, be fluffy, or have a tuft at the end; in fact the group's name 'Dasyurid' means 'hairy tail' in Greek (Stahan and Cayley 1995). The head usually has large round ears and a elongated snout. Being predators, the long snout is filled with small, sharp teeth.
