Encephalization of Australian marsupials was analyzed using the endocranial volume (ECV) of 52 species of Dasyuromorphia and Notoryctemorphia, 14 species of Peramelemorphia and 116 species of Diprotodontia from Australia and New Guinea and compared with 16 species of Ameridelphian marsupials and 3 species of native and recently introduced Australian eutherian carnivores (dingo, feral cat and feral fox). Linear regression analysis of the relationship between ECV and body weight for marsupials… Expand

Numerical Analysis of the Cerebral Cortex in Diprotodontids (Marsupialia; Australidelphia) and Comparison with Eutherian Brains.
TLDR
There are significant differences between diprotodontids and eutherians in the way that cortical folding and expansion of allocortical structures occurs with brain enlargement, suggesting that white matter scaling is identical among all therians. Expand
Brain and behaviour of living and extinct echidnas.
TLDR
Despite differences in diet, habitat and body size, the suite of neurological specialisations in the Tachyglossidae has been remarkably constant: encephalisation, sensory anatomy and specialisation, hypoglossal nerve size and cortical topography have all been stable neurological features of the group for at least 300,000 years. Expand
Diet, feeding behaviour and echidna beaks: a review of functional relationships within the tachyglossids
TLDR
Using museum specimens and photographs I measured skull dimensions on echidnas from different parts of Australia, and found that acanthion and multiaculeatus have narrower skulls and shorter beaks than aculeatus and setosus, withSetosus being the only Australian subspecies where beak length exceeds cranium length.

Marsupials indeed confirm an ancestral mammalian pattern: A reply to Isler

TLDR
It is suggested that placentals differ from what could be called an ancestral mammalian pattern by having a placenta, through which increases in maternal BMR could benefit offspring brain sizes. Expand
Another look at the foramen magnum in bipedal mammals.
TLDR
The results provide further evidence that bipedal mammals tend to have more anteriorly positioned foramina magna than their quadrupedal close relatives and suggest that the evolution of FMP and FMA in hominins may not be closely coupled. Expand
Cortical Cyto- and Chemoarchitecture in Three Small Australian Marsupial Carnivores: Sminthopsis macroura, Antechinus stuartii and Phascogale calura
TLDR
The findings indicate that the cyto- and chemoarchitectural features which characterize the iso- and allocortex in these small marsupial carnivores are similar to those reported in didelphids and eutherians and the findings suggest the existence of putative dedicated motor areas medial to the S1 field. Expand
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brains of Three Peramelemorphian Marsupials
TLDR
The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using this sort of imaging of archived brains to analyze the neuroanatomy of rare and evolutionarily significant species and to relate these findings to the behavioral neurology of those species. Expand
Marsupial Brains Are Not as “Primitive” as Expected
TLDR
Findings suggest that only the brain of South American marsupials may be considered as a proxy of the ancestral mammalian brain, whereas Australasian marsupial brains seem as derived as any eutherian brain. Expand
The Basal Radial Glia Occurs in Marsupials and Underlies the Evolution of an Expanded Neocortex in Therian Mammals
TLDR
This study characterized and quantified the NPCs in the developing neocortex of a marsupial, the tammar wallaby, demonstrating that its neocortex is characterized by high NPC diversity and supporting the concept that changes in multiple parameters contribute to neocortex expansion. Expand
Reassessing the Relationship Between Brain Size, Life History, and Metabolism at the Marsupial/Placental Dichotomy
TLDR
The results support the suggestion that mammalian brain sizes are predominantly constrained by the ability of females to fuel the growth of their offspring's large brains, rather than by the maintenance requirements of the adult brain. Expand

  • 1998
TLDR
Results show that the encephalization level of Homo sapiens is still extraordinary relative to that of nonhuman species, but a subset of delphinid odontocetes are significantly more highly encephalized than the most highlyEncephalized anthropoid primates and narrow the gap in encephalizations between humans and nonhumans substantially.

Prediction of marsupial body mass
TLDR
Total jaw length is the most reliable predictor for diprotodontians, as well as for all species combined, whereas lower molar row length appears to be more appropriate for dasyuromorphians. Expand
Life of marsupials
TLDR
The author's original text, also called Life of Marsupials published in 1973, was the first student textbook on marsupials and this completely re-written edition brings a lifetime's experience and masterly insights into the lives of these fascinating mammals. Expand
The cranial endocast of the early Miocene marsupial, Wynyardia bassiana: an assessment of taxonomic relationships based upon comparisons with recent forms.
TLDR
Examination of the latex endocast of the nearly intact neurocranium of Wynyardia bassiana reveals that the marsupial's brain is clearly phalangeroid in external morphology, resembling closely that of the extantphalangerid, Trichosurus vulpecula. Expand

The distribution of play behaviour among Australian marsupials
TLDR
The distribution of play in Australian marsupials supported the hypothesis that play acts to modify brain development and was correlated with relative brain mass. Expand
Brain Growth in the Harbor Porpoise and Pacific White-Sided Dolphin
TLDR
Examining brain-growth patterns in the harbor porpoise and Pacific white-sided dolphin found the brain of P. phocoena is substantially more mature throughout development than that of L. obliquidens, and brain- growth patterns are related generally to adult encephalization levels in these two species.

Taxonomic differences in the scaling of brain on body weight among mammals.
Theories for the evolution of brain weight in mammals suggest that closely related species have diverged largely as a result of selection for differences in body weight, but that differences among… Expand
Can endocranial volume be used as an estimate of brain size in birds
TLDR
A combination of interspecific and intraspecific comparisons indicates that endocranial volume does provide a reliable estimate of brain size in birds, and is supported by correlational analyses that showed a significant positive relationship between endocrinial volume and brain mass. Expand
