Ontogeny of spatial working memory in the subterranean rodent ctenomys talarum
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2010-09)
While several works analyzed the spatial learning and memory capacities in adults of subterranean rodents, no study was done examining the development of these cognitive processes in pups of any of those species. Therefore, ...
Personality underground: Evidence of behavioral types in the solitary subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
(PeerJ Inc., 2020-02)
Background: Animal personalities have been studied in a wide variety of taxa, but among rodents, available studies are relatively scarce and have focused mainly on social species. In this study, we evaluated the existence ...
Comparative energetics of the subterranean Ctenomys rodents: breaking patterns.
(2009)
Subterranean mammals show lower mass-independent basal metabolic rates (BMRs). Several competing hypotheses were suggested to explain how microenvironmental conditions and underground life affect subterranean mammalian ...
Phylogeography of the subterranean rodent Spalacopus cyanus (Caviomorpha, Octodontidae)
(2008)
Spalacopus cyanus is a subterranean rodent inhabiting coastal and mountain habitats. Individuals from mountain populations are larger than individuals from the coast, and mountain populations have a more limited geographic ...
Rhythmic 24 h Variation of Core Body Temperature and Locomotor Activity in a Subterranean Rodent (Ctenomys aff. knighti), the Tuco-Tuco
(Public Library Of Science, 2014-01)
The tuco-tuco Ctenomys aff. knighti is a subterranean rodent which inhabits a semi-arid area in Northwestern Argentina. Although they live in underground burrows where environmental cycles are attenuated, they display ...
Circadian Pattern of Wheel-Running Activity of a South American Subterranean Rodent (Ctenomys cf knightii)
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2009)
Circadian rhythms are regarded as essentially ubiquitous features of animal behavior and are thought to confer important adaptive advantages. However, although circadian systems of rodents have been among the most extensively ...
Modeling natural photic entrainment in a subterranean rodent (Ctenomys aff. knighti), the tuco-tuco
(Public Library Science, 2013-07)
Subterranean rodents spend most of the day inside underground tunnels, where there is little daily change in environmental variables. Our observations of tuco-tucos (Ctenomys aff. knighti) in a field enclosure indicated ...
Understanding evolutionary variation in basal metabolic rate: An analysis in subterranean rodents
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017-04)
Understanding how evolutionary variation in energetic metabolism arises is central to several theories in animal biology. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) –i.e., the minimum rate of energy necessary to maintain thermal homeostasis ...
