Book Synopsis The Developing Marsupial by : C.H. Tyndale-Biscoe
Download or read book The Developing Marsupial written by C.H. Tyndale-Biscoe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsupials are excellent objects for studies on developmental processes in all mammals including humans. Marsupials are very immature at birth and undergo most of their development in a pouch where they can be manipulated in a variety of ways without affecting the mother. Most of these studies are on systems which largely mature before birth in eutherian mammals and are consequently difficult to investigate. Attention is also drawn to certain features peculiar to adult marsupials: e.g., they continue to grow throughout adult life, valuable for studies on growth mechanisms, and furthermore the composition of marsupial milk changes radically through lactation, most important in studies of hormonal regulation of milk composition and secretion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2006 book examines the exciting discoveries in the study of marsupials of the last 20 years. These discoveries have led to significant developments in our understanding of this unique group of mammals. The impact of these developments have been such that marsupials are coming to be seen as model organisms in studies of life history evolution, ageing and senescence, sex determination and the development and regeneration of the nervous system. This volume brings together information scattered throughout the primary literature. Coverage includes evolutionary history and management strategies as well as all aspects of basic biology. A complete listing of known species and a comprehensive list of references make this a unique repository of information on this fascinating group of animals.

Book Synopsis The Biology of Marsupials by : Don II Hunsaker
Download or read book The Biology of Marsupials written by Don II Hunsaker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biology of Marsupials is a compilation and analysis of the research conducted on New World marsupials that covers both Australian and didelphid marsupials. It is organized into nine chapters that aim to bring scientific community the information available on certain aspects of marsupial biology. After presenting data on karyotypes, comparative serology, classification, and phylogenetic inferences of marsupials, this book goes on discussing the organism's chromosomes, cell cycles, and cytogenetics. A chapter covers the ecological strategies and adaptations of marsupial family, particularly, of the Didelphis virginiana. Another chapter discusses marsupial neurology; evidence of commonalities with eutherian nervous systems; distinctive features peculiar to the marsupial subclass; and neural specialization identification of particular genera and species in this subclass. The following chapter describes the plasticity, variability, and generability of the behavior patterns of marsupials. This book also describes the anatomy and histologic, embryologic, and gerontologic observations of Marmosa robinsoni. The concluding chapters discuss diseases of both American and Australasian marsupials based on zoological, wildlife, parasitological, and veterinary medical studies. Supplemental texts are also provided. This book is ideal for researchers in the fields of developmental anatomy, immunology, neurology, and many aspects of comparative medicine and behavior.
Book Synopsis Protection of Marsupial Young by : Melanie Edwards
Download or read book Protection of Marsupial Young written by Melanie Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newborn marsupial is born at a highly altricial stage of development when compared to eutherian newborn mammals. Interestingly, the marsupial young are born into a non-sterile environment and lack a developed immune system which prevents them from mounting an adaptive immune response. Two reviews are presented in this thesis. The first review examined the complementary mechanisms which protect the developing marsupial young. Immune protection through forms of innate immunity and maternal contributions has been examined in marsupials. However, as there are many facets to immune protection, our understanding of the protection of the developing marsupial young is far from complete and much of the developing marsupial's innate immune system remains unexplored. Importantly, the review also recognised that the availability of marsupial genomes should be exploited to help direct further research on the protection of marsupial young. The second review examined the role of the pouch in marsupial reproduction. While it is clear that the pouch provides immune protection to those species that have a pouch, the pouch cannot provide immune protection to the young of those species without a pouch. Thus, instead of using the pouch to explain immune protection of marsupial young, the review examined the role of the pouch in supporting highly altricial young and promoting reproductive success in various environments where a pouch may confer significant advantages over free hanging young. The reviews set the direction for the experimental research presented in this thesis. The model species tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) was used to further examine innate immune genes. First, innate immune genes, mucin and lysozyme were identified or predicted in the tammar wallaby. The mucin and lysozyme genes were then physically mapped to conserved regions of the tammar wallaby genome which facilitated the confirmation of the identification of the genes. Second, the expression of immune genes was examined in the skin and lung of developing tammar wallabies considered immune-incompetent and immune-competent using transcriptome sequencing. There were 390 and 429 immune genes expressed in developing tammar wallaby skin and lung, respectively, suggesting that both tissues play a role in immune defense. Unexpectedly, mucin and lysozyme were not expressed in the skin and lung of wallabies considered to be immune-incompetent. Further, enrichment analysis of genes identified in Gene Ontology terms showed that specific immune genes, complement component 3, complement factor B and apolipoprotein A1, have increased expression in the skin and lung of wallabies considered immune-incompetent. The increased expression of the immune genes suggests that there may be specific innate immune system processes in play to compensate for the delayed development of the adaptive immune system in marsupial. The research presented in this thesis identified gaps in the research of immune protection of marsupial young and identified, mapped and examined the expression of innate immune genes in the developing tammar wallaby. Thus, we are closer to understanding the complexity of the developing marsupial immune system. The identification of immune genes and their expression, lays the foundation for further functional research in marsupial developmental immunology.

Download or read book The Marsupial Order written by Rebecca Stefoff and published by Marshall Cavendish. This book was released on 2008 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammals with young that develop in pouches after birth are marsupials, or metatherians. Kangaroos, koalas, and Tasmanian devils are just a few of the best-known members of this order. Dozens of small, shy, little-known species are found in the Americas and around Australia. The Marsupial Order explores the origins of these mammals and examines their unusual reproductive method, which has unique advantages. In addition, The Marsupial Order discusses the biology, life cycles, and ecological roles of marsupials, as well as current threats to their survival and approaches to conservation. With a survey of the various metatherian suborders and families, The Marsupial Order introduces pouched mammals from wombats to wallabies and beyond. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis The Neurobiology of Australian Marsupials by : Ken Ashwell
Download or read book The Neurobiology of Australian Marsupials written by Ken Ashwell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian marsupials represent a parallel adaptive radiation to that seen among placental mammals. This great natural experiment has produced a striking array of mammals with structural and behavioural features echoing those seen among primates, rodents, carnivores, edentates and ungulates elsewhere in the world. Many of these adaptations involve profound evolutionary changes in the nervous system, and occurred in isolation from those unfolding among placental mammals. Ashwell provides the first comprehensive review of the scientific literature on the structure and function of the nervous system of Australian marsupials. The book also includes the first comprehensive delineated atlases of brain structure in a representative diprotodont marsupial (the tammar wallaby) and a representative polyprotodont marsupial (the stripe-faced dunnart). For those interested in brain development, the book also provides the first comprehensive delineated atlas of brain development in a diprotodont marsupial (the tammar wallaby) during the critical first 4 weeks of pouch life.
