The cleavage stages of marsupial development are very variable between groups and aspects of marsupial early development are not yet fully understood. An infant marsupial is known as a joey . Marsupials have a very short gestation period—usually between 12.5 and 33 days, [ 41 ] but as low as 10.7 days in the case of the stripe-faced dunnart ...
All extant marsupials are endemic to Australasia and the Americas. A distinctive characteristic common to most of these species is that the young are carried in a pouch . Well-known marsupials include kangaroos , wallabies , koalas , opossums , wombats , Tasmanian devils , and the extinct thylacine .
Maastrichtidelphys is a Late Cretaceous genus of metatherian (marsupial lineage) mammal from the Netherlands in Europe. [1] The genus contains a single species, M. meurismeti . It is known from an extremely small right upper molar, and analysis of it suggests that Maastrichtidelphys is most closely related to the North American herpetotheriid ...
Analysis of retrotransposon insertion sites in the nuclear DNA of a variety of marsupials has shown that the South American monito del monte's lineage is the most basal of the superorder. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The Australian australidelphians form a clade , for which the name Euaustralidelphia ("true Australidelphia") has been proposed (the branching ...

Modern marsupials are now understood to be an originally South American lineage that later reached Australia and diversified there in a massive adaptive radiation. [1] [2] Molecular data, including analysis of retrotransposon insertion sites in the nuclear DNA of a variety of marsupials, and the fossil evidence indicate that Ameridelphia might best be understood as an evolutionary grade.
