Australidelphia - Wikipedia (601 words)
Je nach Autor variieren die Angaben darüber, wann sich die Australidelphia von ihrer Schwestergruppe, den Ameridelphia, abgespalten haben, zwischen 128 Millionen und 61,7 Millionen Jahren.
Der Großteil der Australidelphia ist dann vermutlich über Antartika nach Australien eingewandert.
Die Australidelphia waren danach mit Ausnahme der südamerikanischen Microbiotheria durch die Trennung Australiens von allen anderen Kontinenten für etwa 30 Millionen Jahre vom Rest der Säugetierwelt isoliert, erst vor etwa 8 Millionen Jahren findet man mit eingewanderten Nagetieren (Rodentia) Vertreter der höheren Säugetiere.
Marsupial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (546 words)
There are two primary divisions of Marsupialia: the Ameridelphia, American marsupials; and the Australidelphia, Australian marsupials.
The Order Microbiotheria (which has only one species, the Monito del Monte) is found in South America but is believed to be more closely related to the Australidelphia.
Those in Ameridelphia are often called "opossums", while those in Australidelphia are "possums".
