Mammals
Monotremata:
Memiliki karakteristik reptil:
1) Oviparous – bertelur
• Small; rubbery (nutrient material absorbed through egg) 10 day incubation period
2) Retain reptile-like gait (legs on side rather than underneath)
3) Reduced operational body temperature (Mean body temp ~ 32 ºC (~ 89.5 ºF))
• Endothermic (homeotherms)
• May enter periods of hibernation (cool weather)
• Testes located abdominally (unusual for mammals)
Mammalian Features:
1) Females lactate
(do not have nipples)
• Milk secreted onto skin; lapped up by young
2) Fur present
Other Features:
Intraspecific fighting /
1) Lack teeth as adults predator defense
2) Spurs present on ankle
Geographically restricted
to Australia / New Guinea
• Oviparous; eggs with a leathery shell; mothers nourish their young with
milk after young hatch
• Lack nipples
Therapsids Therians
Placenta:
Complex of embryonic and maternal tissues
1) Anchors fetus to uterus
2) Transports nutrients from mother to fetus
3) Excretes metabolites from fetus to mother
4) Produces hormones (regulate reproduction)
Mammals
Opossum
Placental Development: newborn
(~ 0.13 g)
Marsupials – Limited Placenta:
• Developing embryo forms shallow depression in endometrium of uterus
• Surface area for adhesion / absorption limited (slight wrinkling)
• Primary nutrient source = yolk sac
• Short gestation (Bandicoot = 12.5 days); long lactation
• Finish development in pouch / skin fold
• Nipples utilized for lactation (swell to hold young)
At birth: < 1%
Placentals – Advanced Placenta: maternal body mass
• Developing embryo embeds deeply into endometrium
• Chorionic villi (finger-like projections) enhance adhesion / absorption
• Primary nutrient source = Maternal blood (does not mix with fetus)
• Long gestation (African elephant = 22 months); short lactation
• At birth: 5% - 50% maternal body mass
By the time young are weaned, the parental investment between
marsupicals and placentals is similar Precocial compared
to marsupials…
Mammals
Reproductive Variations:
1) Delayed Fertilization:
• Copulation (fall) dissociated from fertilization of egg (spring)
• Sperm stored in uterus / vagina
New / Old world bats
• Benefit = Efficient use of seasonal resources
2) Delayed Development:
• Embryo implants in endometrium; development continues very slowly
Armadillo
• Benefit = Synchronize young with unpredictable food resources (obligate)
3) Delayed Implantation:
• Development of embryo arrested following early cleavage
• Embryo free-floating in reproductive tract
• Obligate (build into system) or facultative (environmentally induced)
• Benefit = ??? (Dissimilarity in closely related species in same area…)
4) Embryonic Diapause:
• Development of embryo arrested following late cleavage
Roe Deer
(facultative)

open its drooling mouth, and excrete droppings…”
