Decline of a biome: evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota (2011, unknown): “Recent estimates of divergence times based on multi-gene molecular datasets (e.g. Drummond et al., 2006; Beck, 2008) reveal that the mammal fauna at 30 Ma included representatives of the two extant monotreme families and at least 13 extant marsupial families.”
Phylogenetic Relationships and Classification of Didelphid Marsupials, an Extant Radiation of New World Metatherian Mammals (2009, background): “…2004; Amrine-Madsen et al., 2003; Horovitz and Sánchez-Villagra, 2003; Asher et al., 2004; Sánchez-Villagra et al., 2007; Meredith et al., 2008; Beck, 2008), then such transformations might be didelphid synapomorphies, or they could be synapomorphies of the unnamed clade that includes…”
