Repeated gene losses have independently shaped colour diversity in marsupials. An ASIP deletion is associated with eastern quoll melanism and is convergent with the related Tassie devil, while MC1R truncation is found in the pale-yellow marsupial mole.

Loss-of-function mutations in ASIP and MC1R are associated with coat colour variation in marsupials | Biology Letters
Pigmentation in mammalian hair follicles is governed in part by interactions between agouti signalling protein (ASIP) and the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). The most common coat colours in mammals re...

Recent social experience alters song behavior in Drosophila
Roemschied et al. show that recent social experience reshapes how male Drosophila deploy their innate courtship song. By perturbing female feedback during singing, they reveal usage learning that alte...

Gene regulatory dynamics during craniofacial development in a carnivorous marsupial
While the genes involved in craniofacial development are highly conserved between the fat-tailed dunnart and mouse, their cis-regulatory elements show significant divergence and appear to reflect spec...

Loss-of-function mutations in ASIP and MC1R are associated with coat color variation in marsupials.
In mammals, coat color is determined by deposition of pigments into the growing hair shaft. The production of these pigments is governed in part by Agouti Signaling Protein (ASIP) and the Melanocortin...

Now for something a little different: our work on craniofacial development in new born fat tailed dunnarts, a tiny bitey carnivorous marsupial, is now out on eLife, and you can read it and the reviews while we work on the revisions :)

It'll always be the Itjaritjari, but in English we desperately need to replace "Marsupial Mole" with "Wallaby Shai Hulud"
