Editing Marsupial (section)

===Body temperature===
Marsupials, along with [[monotremes]] ([[platypuses]] and [[echidnas]]), typically have lower body temperatures than similarly sized [[placentals]] ([[eutherians]]),<ref>{{cite book| title=Abstract: Thermoregulation in marsupials and monotremes, chapter of Marsupials and monotremes: nature's enigmatic mammals| date=2015| author1=Gaughan, John B.|author2=Hogan, Lindsay A.|author3=Wallage, Andrea| publisher=Nova Science Publishers, Incorporated| url=https://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:380292| isbn=9781634834872| accessdate=2022-04-20}}</ref> with the averages being {{convert|35|°C}} for marsupials and {{convert|37|°C}} for placentals.<ref name="DC">{{cite web |url=http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/anphys/1999/White/thermal.htm |author=White |title=Thermal Biology of the Platypus |publisher=Davidson College |year=1999 |access-date=2006-09-14 |df=dmy-all |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306024923/http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/anphys/1999/White/thermal.htm |archive-date=March 6, 2012}}</ref><ref name="Sherman">{{cite web |url=http://faculty.bennington.edu/~sherman/comp.%20anim.%20physiol./control%20systems%20part%202.pdf |title=Control Systems Part&nbsp;2 |access-date=6 July 2016 |archive-date=8 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008154505/http://faculty.bennington.edu/~sherman/comp.%20anim.%20physiol./control%20systems%20part%202.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> Some species will bask to conserve energy <ref>{{cite journal|last1=Stannard|first1= Hayley J.|last2= Fabian|first2= Megan|last3= Old|first3= Julie M.|year=2015|title=To bask or not to bask: Behavioural thermoregulation in two species of dasyurid, ''Phascogale calura'' and ''Antechinomys laniger''|journal= Journal of Thermal Biology|volume= 53|pages= 66–71| doi= 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2015.08.012|pmid= 26590457|bibcode= 2015JTBio..53...66S}}</ref>
