Funded Activity Summary

How does embryonic physiology shape the divergence of brain development? . Unlike placental mammals (humans, mice, dogs etc) marsupials give birth to very immature young that finalise development in the pouch. Despite this remarkable distinction in the major mammalian lineages, very little is known about how differing reproductive environments impact development and evolution. This project aims to explore how developing inside or outside a uterus impacts brain development in placental vs marsupial mammals. Expected outcomes include expanding theories of how different body systems are connected in development and evolution, understanding what aspects of marsupial development might be especially sensitive to variations in environment brought about by climate change and enhancing Australia’s research capabilities.
