GEOL 104 In the Shadow of the Dinosaurs: Mesozoic Mammals and . . . (By the way, there is a cliché that monotremes are called "the egg-laying mammals", marsupials are the "pouched mammals", and placentals the "placental mammals" But egg-laying is a symplesiomorphy, pouches are found in both monotremes and marsupials (and by anatomical and phylogenetic inference widespread in all non-placental mammals), and
Imbalanced speciation pulses sustain the radiation of mammals Throughout the more than 200 million year (Myr) evolutionary history of mammals, for instance, environmental factors such as the radiation of flowering plants (i e , the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution), the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), and other major environmental events likely

Animal models of human pregnancy and placentation . . . The mouse is often criticized as a model for pregnancy research as gestation is short, with much of organ development completed postnatally There are also differences in the structure and physiology of the placenta between mouse and human This review considers eight alternative models that recently have been proposed and two established ones that seem underutilized A promising newcomer
Placental function and the development of fetal overgrowth . . . While impaired utero-placental blood flow is an established risk factor for restricted fetal growth, placental insufficiency is more than reduced blood flow and may involve decreased transplacental nutrient transport capacity, altered activity in placental growth factor and inflammatory signaling pathways, and changes in the release of
