Australian Mammal Society
In contrast, the species richness of polyprotodont marsupials is highest in the
central deserts and drops quite sharply to a moderately high level in the
surrounding areas. The effect of higher species richness at the boundary of the
arid zone is ...

Molecular Evolution and Adaptive Radiation
Diprotodonty is a condition in which the anteriormost pair of lower incisors is
enlarged and procumbent, as compared with the polyprotodont state of multiple
nibbling or grasping front teeth (Figure 4.2A,B); diprotodonty occurs in
Australasian ...

Mammalogy: Adaptation, Diversity, Ecology
Dentition in marsupials can be considered either polyprotodont (an unshortened
mandible, lower incisors small and unspecialized) or diprotodont (a shortened
mandible with first pair of lower incisors enlarged to meet upper incisors).

Recent Advances in Transthyretin Evolution, Structure and ...
Polyprotodont marsupials (e.g. Tasmanian devils and dunnarts) have many teeth
on their upper and lower jaws and are carnivores or omnivores. The
polyprotodont/diprotodont classification is used in this review because it fits
exactly with ...

An Encyclopedia of Natural History
In both jaws the four pairs of molars are oblong teeth, with four blunt cusps, and
thus totally unlike the corresponding teeth of the opossums and other members of
the Polyprotodont sub-order._ The feet are of normal type, with five toes each, ...

The Neurobiology of Australian Marsupials: Brain Evolution ...
The fat-tailed dunnart, a small polyprotodont with an arrhythmic lifestyle, also has
a rod-dominated retina (Arrese et al., 1999, 2003). Cone topology is similar to the
tammar wallaby with S-cones concentrated in the dorsoventral retina along ...

Mammal Teeth: Origin, Evolution, and Diversity
Bilbies have small, polyprotodont incisors. These teeth are labiolingually
compressed and subequal in size. The I3 crown is bilobed. Macrotis canines are
long and sharp and exhibit marked sexual dimorphism. Their premolars are
laterally ...

The mammals of South Australia
Unfortunately, the Bandicoots (Peramelidae) spoil the agreement of these two i
schemes of classification, for these interesting animals, which are mixed feeders,
are Polyprotodont, and yet they have typical syndactylous 2nd and 3rd toes.

On the Anatomy of Vertebrates
A retrospect of the modifications of marsupial dentition shows them to be divisible
into two classes : one 'polyprotodont,' or characterised by several pairs of
mandibular incisors ; the other ' di- protodont,' or by a single pair : these are large,
...
