| the phylogenetic position of the musky rat-kangaroo and the evolution of bipedal hopping in kangaroos (macropodidae: diprotodontia). | kangaroos and their relatives (family macropodidae) are divided into the subfamilies macropodinae (kangaroos, wallabies, pademelons) and potoroinae (rat-kangaroos, potoroos, bettongs). the musky rat-kangaroo, hypsiprymnodon moschatus, is traditionally allied with other potoroines, based primarily on the basis of osteological characters and aspects of the female reproductive system. unlike other macropodids, however, which are capable of bipedal hopping, hypsiprymnodon is a quadrupedal bounder an ... | 1998 | 12066687 |
| unique features of spermiogenesis in the musky rat-kangaroo: reflection of a basal lineage or a distinct fertilization process? | previous research has found the mature spermatozoon of the musky rat-kangaroo to share many characteristics with other macopodoids, some phalangeroids and even the dasyurids. while there have been several studies published on the ultrastructure of the mature marsupial spermatozoon, there are only a few detailed studies on marsupial spermatogenesis. furthermore, there have been no studies undertaken which combine the staging of the epithelial cell cycle with transmission electron microscopy to de ... | 2008 | 18304206 |
| eimeria spp. (apicomplexa:eimeriidae) parasitic in the rat-kangaroos hypsiprymnodon moschatus, potorous tridactylus, aepyprymnus rufescens and bettongia gaimardi (marsupialia:potoroidae). | | 1988 | 3225116 |
| corollostrongylus hypsiprymnodontis gen. et sp. n. (nematoda: strongylidae) from the rat-kangaroo, hypsiprymnodon moschatus (marsupialia). | corollostrongylus hypsiprymnodontis (nematoda: strongylidae) is described from the intestine of the musk rat-kangaroo, hypsiprymnodon moschatus ramsay 1876, from atherton, queensland, australia. the new genus is distinguished from other genera of the strongylidae by the dorsal deviation of the head, the oval mouth opening, and the dorsal ray which given off 2 small lateral branches before dividing into 2 long parallel rays. | 1978 | 682068 |
| porphyromonas loveana sp. nov., isolated from the oral cavity of australian marsupials. | an obligatory anaerobic, gram-stain-negative coccobacillus with black-pigmented colonies was isolated from the oral cavity of selected australian marsupial species. phenotypic and molecular criteria showed that this bacterium was a distinct species within the genus porphyromonas, and was closely related to porphyromonas gingivalis and porphyromonas gulae. this putative novel species and p. gulae could be differentiated from p. gingivalis by catalase activity. further characterization by multi-lo ... | 2016 | 27515974 |
