   • 2006, Natalie Marina Warburton, “Functional morphology of marsupial moles (Marsupialia: Notoryctidae)”, in Verhandlungen des Naturwissenschaftlichen Vereins in Hamburg‎, volume 42, page 39 of 39-149:

     While specialisation of the musculo-skeletal system have been so widespread as to obscure almost any phylogenetically relevant patterns, there is evidence to support a sister group relationship of notoryctids and peramelid bandicoots (Peramelidae).

     Modern notoryctids are confined to deserts in Australia and exhibit numerous anatomical specializations that appear exceptionally well suited to burrowing through desert sands.

   • 2023 October 28, Mark S. Springer, Christopher A. Emerling, John Gatesy, “Three Blind Moles: Molecular Evolutionary Insights on the Tempo and Mode of Convergent Eye Degeneration in Notoryctes typhlops (Southern Marsupial Mole) and Two Chrysochlorids (Golden Moles)”, in Genes‎, volume 14, number 11, →DOI, archived from the original on 20 August 2025:

     For the latter, we estimate that lens/cornea genes were inactivated ~17.8 million years ago (MYA) when stem notoryctids were burrowing in the soft soils of Australian rainforests. […] In contrast, if the eyes of N. typhlops degenerated rapidly and recently in response to increasingly sandy soil, then there may have been less time for the accumulation of inactivating mutations in notoryctid eye-specific genes than in chrysochlorid eye-specific genes.
