(Taylor & Francis, 2018-05)
Phoberomys is a giant caviomorph rodent included in the extinct Neoepiblemidae. It is recorded in the late Miocene-Pliocene of South America (Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil and Peru), and is one of the largest rodents that ...
Differentiation of Trypanosoma cruzi I subgroups through characterization of cytochrome b gene sequences
(2008)
To identify and characterize chilean samples of Trypanosoma cruzi and their association with hosts, the first 516 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene were sequenced from eight biological samples, and phylogenetically ...
Geographic Variation in Cranial Morphology of the Southern Mountain Cavy, Microcavia australis (Rodentia, Caviidae): Taxonomic Implications, with the Description of A New Species
(Academia Sinica, 2017-10)
We analyzed the geographic variation in cranial morphology of the Southern Mountain Cavy, Microcavia australis, throughout of its distributional range. Our analysis allows us to recognize three geographically allopatric ...

Two species of chinchillid rodents, Lagostomus (Lagostomopsis) incisus and “Lagostomus (Lagostomopsis) spicatus”, have been recorded from the Monte Hermoso Formation (Montehermosan–Lower Chapadmalalan, Early Pliocene) of ...
Fleshy pulp enhances the location of Syagrus romanzoffiana (Arecaceae) fruits by seed-dispersing rodents in an Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil
(Cambridge Univ PressNew YorkEUA, 2005)
Testing the quick meal hypothesis: the effect of pulp on hoarding and seed predation of Hymenaea courbaril by red-rumped agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-02-01)
Red-rumped agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina) are important seed dispersers/predators of Neotropical large-seeded plants. Several species of seeds cached by agoutis have an edible reward, in contrast to temperate rodent-dispersed ...
Bone morphology of the hind limbs in two caviomorph rodents
(2013-04-01)
In order to evaluate the hind limbs of caviomorph rodents a descriptive analysis of the Cuniculus paca (Linnaeus, 1766) and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766) was performed using anatomical specimens, radiography, ...
Efecto del levantamiento de los Andes en los procesos de diversificación evolutiva en roedores histricomorfos del nuevo mundo (rodentia, caviomorpha)
(Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas. Departamento de Zoología, 2018)
El levantamiento de la Cordillera los Andes tiene un papel importante en la diversificación de la biota sudamericana. Caviomorpha (Rodentia, Hystricognathi) es uno de los grupos de mamíferos sudamericanos más diversos y ...
