	abstract = {Sixty-four wild possums, housed in individual cages, were   divided into four groups based on sex and colour phase (dark or grey).   The animals were assessed for fur quality and growth in March and were   pair-matched for sex, colour phase, fur quality and growth. One possum   from each pair was implanted with a 18 mg melatonin implant. By June   there was a small improvement in fur quality which was independent of   the localised regrowth of patches of missing fur. No overall change in   the level of fur growth representing seasonal pelage renewal was   recorded. The younger possums had a higher fur quality than older   animals (p<0.001) but over the course of the experiment the difference   (p0.05) than male pelts. Melatonin had no effect, either on pelt   characteristics or on live weights.    },
