Definition of therian in English: theriannoun ˈθɪərɪənˈTHirēən Zoology A mammal of the major group Theria, which comprises the marsupials and placentals. Example sentencesExamples - In this way the ancestor of therian mammals came to possess a single generation of replacement teeth, which erupt when the jaw reaches a size large enough to accommodate them.
- First, we point out that the loss of tooth replacement in marsupials is neither unusual among therian mammals nor highly correlated with the extended period of nipple attachment in any obvious manner.
- The reproductive system of the therians (marsupial and placental mammals) is a complex variation on the egg-layer's basic tubular structure.
- Fossils of therian mammals, which include the marsupials as well as the eutherians, may be recognized and distinguished by the number, morphology, and replacement pattern of their teeth.
- The evolutionary tree relating the mammalian species that share the amino-acid replacements dates back to the ancestral therian, 180 million years ago.
adjective ˈθɪərɪənˈTHirēən Zoology Relating to or denoting therians. Example sentencesExamples - In this way the ancestor of therian mammals came to possess a single generation of replacement teeth, which erupt when the jaw reaches a size large enough to accommodate them.
- The physiological site of the defect in these mice, the chorionic placenta, is found only in therian mammals.
- As one might guess, the post-cranial skeleton is a mosaic of basal mammaliform and therian characters.
- Unfortunately, molar nomenclature was developed for therian mammals, and some of the terminology turns out not to work very well at this fundamental level.
- Thus, relative to the primitive therian condition, marsupials have a distinctive, derived pattern of reduced dental replacement.
