Genetic diversity of wild populations of the grey short-tailed opossum,
Monodelphis domestica (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae), in Brazilian landscapes.
Algunas de las especies registradas constituyen nuevos registros regionales o proporcionan nueva informacion sobre la distribucion de la especie; por ejemplo, los ejemplares de
Monodelphis gardneri, capturados en San Pedro de Carpish son los primeros registros para el departamento de Huanuco (Solari et al.
albiventris,
Monodelphis brevicaudata, Caluromys philander(C.
Necromys lasiurus, Graomys griseoflavus,
Monodelphis dimidiata and Thylamys pallidior were only found in trap-lines placed in the low landuse intensity landscape.

Monodelphis domestica reveals innovation in non-coding sequences.
Algunos generos no presentan el marsupio (Marmosa,
Monodelphis, Metachirus) o solo presentan un par de pliegues laterales (Solari et al., 2001), en tanto que se encuentra bien desarrollado en los generos Didelphis, Philander y Chironectes (Patton et al, 2000).
The syntenic X-chromosome region of three marsupial species (wallaby, Macropus eugenii; Tasmanian devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, and opossum,
Monodelphis domestica) and one monotreme (platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus) genome, focusing on the chromosomal region around the HPRT locus, has been systematically searched and no sequences similar to PLAC1 have been found.
Among Didelphidae were captured Didelphis aurita (13.8%), Gracilinanus microtarsus (9.2%) and
Monodelphis kunsi (1.5%), and among Cricetidae were caught Akodon montensis (35.5%), Oligoryzomysfavescens (29.2%), Calomys cerqueirai (7.7%), Necromys lasiurus (1.5%), and Oxymycterus delator (1.5%).
