 Present-day distribution of marsupials (blue; excludes introduced presence) | ||||||||||
Marsupiales (Marsupialia) forma un del tres subdivisiones existente del mammiferos; le altere duo son monotremas e placentarios. Le marsupiales se distingue de altere mammiferos principalmente in que le progenitura, un "larva marsupial" multo pauc disveloppate, se displacia post parto ad mammelas ubi illo es generalmente portate e protegite in un marsupio (marsupial bursa) usque su maturitate.
Marsupiales actual include opossumes, diablos de Tasmania, kangurus, koalas, wombates, wallabies e pandikokkus inter alteres; multe extincte species son cognoscite, como thylacino.
Circa 70% del 334 species actual vive in le Australian continente (includente Tasmania, Nove Guinea e insulas proxime). Alteres species vive in America: principalmente in Sud America, 13 in Central America e un, le opossum de Virginia, in Nord America e nord de Mexico.
Etymologia
[modificar | modificar fonte]Marsupial deriva del parola latin marsupium, del ancian grec μάρσιππος mársippos 'bursa', utilisate in anatomia pro describer lor ventral bursa.

Historia evolutive
[modificar | modificar fonte]Le ultime ancestre commun al insimile del mammiferos actual serea apparite 180 Ma retro. Illo poneva ovos. Therios, le pangruppo del marsupiales e placentarios haberea divergite 160 Ma retro[2]. Depois, le corona gruppos del marsupiales et del placentarios (i.e. les clados Marsupiala e Placentalia, respectivemente) serea apparite verisimilemente durante le Cretaceo tardive, ante le extinction del dinosauros non-avee, ma lor expansion esseva multo importante postea, le placia essente libre.
Se pensa communmente que le modo de reproduction del marsupiales serea intermedie inter istos del monotremas e del placentarios. Es false: le duo modos de reproduction son simplemente differente. De plus, un studio de 2023 considera que le Marsupiales son morphologicamente plus distante que le placentarios de lor ancestre commun.[2][3]
