Decline of a biome: evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota (2011, unknown): “Under an assumption of habitat constancy, a far less complete animal fossil record also supports the existence in the Cenozoic of mesic-adapted mammal and reptile faunas (Godthelp et al., 1992, 1999; Hand et al., 1994; Archer et al., 1999; Long et al., 2002; Hocknull et al., 2007).”
Why the Long Face? Kangaroos and Wallabies Follow the Same ‘Rule’ of Cranial Evolutionary Allometry (CREA) as Placentals (2015, background): “Sthenurines were extremely large (estimated as up to or more than 230 kg—Helgen et al. 2006), heavily built, and probably ''hop-less'' kangaroos (Long 2002; Janis et al. 2014).”
A Phylogeny and Timescale for Marsupial Evolution Based on Sequences for Five Nuclear Genes (2008, background): “By contrast, other authors treat Nambaroo as a balbarine kangaroo (Long et al. 2002; Cooke 2006) and Purtia as a macropodoid incertae sedis (Long et al. 2002) or even a bulungamayine (Prideaux 2004).”
