Resumen:
Living American marsupials comprise ca. 130 species included in three orders,extending from northern North America (Canada–US border) to southern Argentina (48 South), with a higher richness in tropical and subtropical areas of Centraland South America, declining with increasing latitude. The influence of climatethroughout their evolution resulted in a distinctive, yet poorly studied chorology.The distribution patterns and main climatic constraints that shape Americanmarsupial distribution are described, this information is integrated with theirglobal conservation status generating comparative maps at different taxonomiccategories (e.g., order, subfamily, tribe, genus), and the areas with the highestconservation value for them are described.
