Patterns in the bony skull development of marsupials: high variation in onset of ossification and conserved regions of bone contact

Development in marsupials is specialized towards an extremely short gestation and highly altricial newborns. As a result, marsupial neonates display morphological adaptations at birth related to functional constraints. However, little is known about the variability of marsupial skull development and...
