Skin development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)—From skin respiration to thermoregulation

Marsupials are born at an early stage of development, and compared to eutherians, skin development is slow, and a functional change during skin ontogenesis occurs. The skin development in 36 gray short‐tailed opossums (Monodelphis domestica) has been examined using histological, morphometric, and μC...
