| uterine epithelial remodelling during pregnancy in the marsupial monodelphis domestica (didelphidae): implications for mammalian placental evolution. | mammalian pregnancy involves remodelling of the uterine epithelium to enable placentation. in marsupials, such remodelling has probably played a key role in the transition from ancestral invasive placentation to non-invasive placentation. identifying uterine alterations that are unique to marsupials with non-invasive placentation can thus elucidate mechanisms of marsupial placental evolution. we identified apical alterations to uterine epithelial cells prior to implantation in monodelphis domest ... | 2020 | 32052440 |
| chronic excess fluoride uptake contributes to degenerative joint disease (djd): evidence from six marsupial species. | one of the manifestations of chronic fluoride toxicosis in mammals is skeletal fluorosis, which can include lesions of degenerative joint disease (djd). although djd lesions have been less commonly studied than bone or dental lesions in relation to the pathology and epidemiology of fluoride toxicosis, there have been multiple independent studies in various species that have concluded that there appears to be an effect. the mechanisms by which fluoride affects the joints are not clear, but our da ... | 2018 | 30015183 |
| molecular surveillance of piroplasms in ticks from small and medium-sized urban and peri-urban mammals in australia. | natural landscape alterations as a consequence of urbanisation are one of the main drivers in the movements of wildlife into metropolitan and peri-urban areas. worldwide, these wildlife species are highly adaptable and may be responsible for the transmission of tick-borne pathogens including piroplasms (babesia, theileria and cytauxzoon spp.) that cause piroplasmosis in animals and occasionally in humans. little is known about piroplasms in the ticks of urban wildlife in australia. ticks from lo ... | 2018 | 29988853 |
| overlapping den tree selection by three declining arboreal mammal species in an australian tropical savanna. | tree cavities are important denning sites for many arboreal mammals. knowledge of cavity requirements of individual species, as well as potential den overlap among species, is integral to their conservation. in australia's tropical savannas, development of tree cavities is enhanced by high termite activity, and, conversely, reduced by frequent fires. however, it is poorly understood how the availability of tree cavities in the tropical savannas impacts tree cavity use and selection by cavity-dep ... | 2020 | 33033470 |
| vulpeculin: a novel and abundant lipocalin in the urine of the common brushtail possum, trichosurus vulpecula. | lipocalins are a family of secreted proteins. they are capable of binding small lipophilic compounds and have been extensively studied for their role in chemosignalling in rodent urine. urine of the common brushtail possum (trichosurus vulpecula) contains a prominent glycoprotein of 20 kda, expressed in both sexes. we have isolated this protein and determined its primary sequence by mass spectrometry, including the use of metabolic labelling to resolve the leucine/isoleucine isobaric ambiguity. ... | 2020 | 33022194 |

| intrinsic clearance rate of o-desmethyltramadol (m1) by glucuronide conjugation and phase i metabolism by feline, canine and common brush-tailed possum microsomes. | quantitative aspects of in vitro phase ii glucuronidative metabolism of o-desmethyltramadol (o-dsmt or m1), the active metabolite of the analgesic drug tramadol, by feline, canine and common brush-tailed possum hepatic microsomes are described.whilst previous studies have focused on the phase i conversion of tramadol to m1, this is the first report in which the phase ii glucuronidative metabolic pathway of m1 has been isolated by an in vitro comparative species study.using the substrate depletio ... | 2020 | 31755346 |
| the mixed liver and heart transcriptome dataset of the new zealand brushtail possum, trichosurus vulpecula. | new zealand suffers greatly from invasive mammal predators including rats, stoats, feral cats and possums all of which not only damage or prey on new zealand's unique terrestrial biodiversity, but also have huge impact on nz's economy as many of these pests act as vectors of disease to farm and game animals. as such, the nz government has invested nearly $90 m to support an ambitious plan to make the country predator free by 2050. although there are adequate means to control invasive predator po ... | 2019 | 31700950 |
| a spatial open-population capture-recapture model. | a spatial open-population capture-recapture model is described that extends both the non-spatial open-population model of schwarz and arnason and the spatially explicit closed-population model of borchers and efford. the superpopulation of animals available for detection at some time during a study is conceived as a two-dimensional poisson point process. individual probabilities of birth and death follow the conventional open-population model. movement between sampling times may be modeled with ... | 2020 | 31517386 |
| estimating disease survey intensity and wildlife population size from the density of survey devices: leg-hold traps and the brushtail possum. | wildlife disease surveillance requires accurate information on the proportion of managed populations sampled or their population density, parameters that are typically expensive to measure. however, these parameters can be estimated using spatially explicit modelling of capture probabilities, based on the distribution and deployment times of capture devices, given accurate information on the relationships between these variables. this approach is used in new zealand's surveillance programme aime ... | 2018 | 30314786 |
| viral rna load and histological changes in tissues following experimental infection with an arterivirus of possums (wobbly possum disease virus). | tissues from australian brushtail possums (trichosurus vulpecula) that had been experimentally infected with wobbly possum disease (wpd) virus (wpdv) were examined to elucidate pathogenesis of wpdv infection. mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrates were present in livers, kidneys, salivary glands and brains of wpd-affected possums. specific staining was detected by immunohistochemistry within macrophages in the livers and kidneys, and undefined cell types in the brains. the highest viral rna l ... | 2018 | 30014860 |
| visit, consume and quit: patch quality affects the three stages of foraging. | foraging is a three-stage process during which animals visit patches, consume food and quit. foraging theory exploring relative patch quality has mostly focused on patch use and quitting decisions, ignoring the first crucial step for any forager: finding food. yet, the decision to visit a patch is just as important as the decision to quit, as quitting theories can only be used if animals visit patches in the first place. therefore, to better understand the foraging process and predict its outcom ... | 2018 | 29995984 |
| next generation sequencing reveals widespread trypanosome diversity and polyparasitism in marsupials from western australia. | in western australia a number of indigenous trypanosoma spp. infect susceptible native marsupials, such as the woylie (bettongia penicillata), brushtail possum (trichosurus vulpecula), and chuditch (dasyurus geoffroii). two genotypes of trypanosoma copemani (identified as g1 and g2) have been found in the woylie, and g2 has been implicated in the decline of this host species, making its presence of particular interest. here we used targeted amplicon next generation sequencing (ngs) of the trypan ... | 2018 | 29988778 |
