Introduction Browsing of Eucalyptus eucalyptus (y : see myrtle. eucalyptus seedlings by both native and introduced mammals has been identified as a serious problem for commercial forestry plantings in south-eastern Australia (Cremer 1969; Statham 1983; Neilsen and Pataczek 1991; Wilkinson and Neilsen 1995; Montague 1996; Bulinski 1999; Bulinski and McArthur 1999). In areas where browsing is common and severe, forest managers may need to control browsing if seedling regeneration is to be successful. In south-eastern Australia, measures used to control animals browsing eucalypt seedlings include poisoning, fencing and shooting. A number of reviews of these and other potential browsing control measures are available (Coman 1994; Coleman et al. 1997). For efficient and cost-effective browsing control, a

6. The Natural History Of Marsupials A concise presentation of the natural history of marsupials, showing their evolutionary origins and outlining their representation in the fossil record. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/marsupials.html

The Natural History of Marsupials Chris Nedin [Last Update: June 28, 1994] writer asks: "The question is not how the escaped from Australia etc, but how they got back there. But the evolutionist faces this problem as well. Would one of you care to volunteer your answer?" The marsupials and placentals diverged from a pantotheran stem stock in the late Cretaceous. The first marsupials appeared in North America approximately 80 million years ago, e.g. Alphadon (marsupials can be distinguished from placentals by their dentition - marsupials have 3 premolars and 4 molars whilst placentals have 3-5 premolars and 3 molars). Towards the end of the Late Cretaceous, marsupials start appearing in South America (Peru and Bolivia). In the Eocene marsupials radiated into Europe, North Africa and reached Asia by the Oligocene. However these groups rapidly became extinct. South America parted company with North America in the Eocene, effectively blocking the rapid radiation of placentals in North America at this time from spreading to South America. During the Eocene, marsupials reached Antarctica, which was attached to South America and Australia at this time. Marsupials could follow a belt of Northophagus vegetation all the way around from southern South America, across Antarctica into southern Australia. The first marsupials appear in Australia in the Oligocene via this route. Australia parted company from Antarctica in the Miocene, effectively isolating the marsupial fauna here.

8. Marsupial Mammals Marsupials are the group of mammals commonly thought of as pouched mammals. You can search in their database of Vertebrate Types. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/marsupial/marsupial.html

Marsupial Mammals Marsupials are the group of mammals commonly thought of as pouched mammals (like the wallaby and kangaroo at left). They give live birth, but they do not have long gestation times like placental mammals . Instead, they give birth very early and the young animal, essentially a helpless embryo, climbs from the mother's birth canal to the nipples. There it grabs on with its mouth and continues to develop, often for weeks or months depending on the species. The short gestation time is due to having a yolk-type placenta in the mother marsupial. Placental mammals nourish the developing embryo using the mother's blood supply, allowing longer gestation times. The only naturally occurring marsupial in the United States is the opossum, Didelphis marsupialis . In the past, however, marsupials were quite common. During the Mesozoic marsupials were very common in North America; more common, in fact, than placental mammals. They persisted here until the mid- to late- Tertiary In South America and Australia, however, marsupials continued to be an important group of land mammals. Many South American forms are similar to the North American opossum. The marsupials of South America began to go extinct in the late Miocene and Early Pliocene when a land connection with North America formed, allowing placental mammals to cross into South America. In Australia, though, marsupials continue to be very diverse, and are the dominant native mammals. They include kangaroos, koalas (above left), tasmanian devils, wombats (above right), and other typical Australian mammals. Until recently, they also included the marsupial wolf

12. Paleocene Mammals Of The World Information on this group of mammals which were widely spread in the late Cretaceous and Tertiary, with images of a reconstruction of Alphadon and a fossil skeleton of the opossum, Pucadelphys andinus. http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/marsupials.htm

Marsupials: A southern success story Marsupials are often associated with the Australian continent where such popular animals as kangaroos and koalas live. Less widely known is that a number of marsupials occur in South America today. These include the opossums, the only marsupials that also occur in the northern hemisphere today. Surprisingly, Mesozoic marsupials are mainly known from North America, and they may have originated there during the Cretaceous. Primitive opossum-like marsupials are among the most common and most diverse mammals in the late Cretaceous of North America. They include cat-sized forms like Didelphodon , one of the largest Mesozoic mammals - and one of the most widely known thanks to its appearance in "Walking with Dinosaurs". Didelphodon had teeth specialized for crushing, and it has been suggested that it fed on hard shelled food like clams, snails, turtles or even young ankylosaurs. The diversity of North American marsupials was dramatically reduced at the end of the Cretaceous. Only one single lineage, represented by late Cretaceous Alphadon and Paleocene Peradectes , survived the faunal turnover. Thus marsupials fared hardly better than dinosaurs in North America, and worse than reptiles on the whole.

About Action Plans Action plans are strategic documents undertaken by scientists to review the status of a defined group of related organisms (e.g. birds, fish). They review the conservation status of major Australian taxonomic groups against IUCN categories, identify threats and recommend actions to minimise those threats. Action plans assist government and non-government organisations to establish national priorities for threatened species conservation.

18. Your Group:Fossil Groups: SciComms 04-05: Earth Sciences Provides information on these mammalian lineages, the diversification of which is thought to have happened about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous. http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/Palaeofiles/Fossilgroups/Marsupia/indexmarsupials.h

Monotremes and Marsupials Marsupials (Marsupialia) and monotremes (Monotremata) are two of the three extant mammalian lineages (the other being that of the placentals). Currently, 99.9% of the mammalian fauna consists of placentals and marsupials, with the monotremes only contributing 0.1%. However, in the past the relative abundance and diversity of these lineages was very different. Marsupials are a subgroup belonging to the Metatheria, an assemblage that includes all the extinct mammals that are more closely related to extant marsupials than to placental mammals, who are themselves, a subgroup of the Eutheria. The diversification of these two mammalian groups is believed to have not occurred any later than 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous. The monotremes are not a primitive form of mammal but are thought to have branched from an early mammalian animal that was an ancestor to the placentals and monotremes. Classic views on biogeographic mammalian evolution propose that both the eutherians and metatherians evolved within the northern continents and then proceeded from Asia and North America, to North and South America. A large diversification is thought to have occurred in North America during the Late Cretaceous (100-65 million years ago) and again when the group proceeded south into South America during the Paleocene, an event that the marsupial's current diversity is based on. Approximately 70 species of marsupials remain in South America, the majority of which are opposums, however, many marsupial ancestors also travelled into Australia, through the previously adjoined Antarctica, where the greatest diversity and number of species is seen today (around 200 species).

You are here: BBC Animals Diprotodon Diprotodon optatum Diprotodon was the largest marsupial that ever lived. Meaning of scientific name Diprotodon = "two forward teeth". Subspecies Several species of Diprotodon have been named based on the size of the skull (Diprotodon australis, Diprotodon minor), but these are probably all males and females of one species (Diprotodon optatum). Statistics Shoulder height: up to 1.7m (5 ft 7in), Body length: 3m (10ft) from nose to tail. Weight: males 2000 to 2500kg; females 1000kg. Physical description Diprotodon superficially resembled a rhino without a horn. Its feet turned inwards like a wombat’s, giving it a pigeon-toed appearance. It had strong claws on the front feet, so it may have been able to dig up roots to eat. Footprints of its hairy feet have been found, so we know it had fur like a horse rather than being bald like a rhino. Distribution Diprotodon is found in sites all over Australia, except in Tasmania.
