This work documents various studies on hearing in marsupials and relates this information to their vocal behaviour. The organization of the brain auditory pathways of marsupials is compared with those of eutherian mammals and related to the structure of the periphery. The information on marsupials provides insight into the development of the brain and hearing in other mammals.
