The echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) maintained a body temperature of 30.7"C f 1.03 s.d. ( N = 23) at ambient temperatures (TA) between 0 and 25°C. It may, however, also become hypothermic at low TA. At T\*=3O0C or above the echidna became hyperthermic. The thermoneutral range was about 20-30°C. At

## Abstract The mechanics of the middle ear bones of echidna (__Tachyglossus aculeatus__) were studied using the Mössbauer technique. A small radioactive source was placed on the stapes and the alterations in the frequency of the emitted γ‐ray, which occurred when the stapes vibrated during sound s

In this descriptive study, we characterize the diaphragm and lungs of the short-nosed echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, using a combination of gross anatomical, light-microscopic, electron microscopic, and morphometric techniques, including airway casting. The diaphragm is inclined from ventro-crania

Coinciding with a period in evolution when monotremes, marsupials, and eutherians diverged from a common ancestor, a proto-␤-globin gene duplicated, producing the progenitors of mammalian embryonic and adult ␤-like globin genes. To determine whether monotremes contain orthologues of these genes and

It i s now clear that noradrenaline (NA) is not the sole excitatory cotransmitter in perivascular sympathetic nerves, as both adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are co-stored with NA in synaptic vesicles and co-released during nerve stimulation. The relative contribution of the
