Inflammation in response to phytohemagglutinin injection in the Talas tuco-tuco (Ctenomys talarum): implications for the estimation of immunocompetence in natural populations of wild rodents
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2014-05)
The immunological variation in wild populations and its relation to life-history traits has recently become a central topic in the field of evolutionary biology, considering the critical contribution of immunity to an ...
Does acclimation to contrasting atmospheric humidities affect evaporative water loss in the South American subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum?
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2016-09-27)
Water conservation is challenging for terrestrial life since water is continuously lost through respiration, excretion, and cutaneous evaporation. Total evaporative water loss (TEWL) is an important component of the water ...
Patrón de micro distribución de Ctenomys Talarum, su rol como bioindicador en un pasivo de explotación de arenas en dunas costerasMicrodistribution pattern of Ctenomys Talarum, a bioindicator over operating liabilities on a sand quarry in coastal dunes
(Asociación Argentina de Geología Aplicada a la Ingeniería, 2018-09)
En la provincia de Buenos Aires los áridos, en particular de arena, representan una de las principales materias primas relacionadas con la construcción y su extracción se da en la zona del delta del río Paraná y en las ...
A new Trichostrongylus parasitizing the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia: Octodontidae) from Mar de Cobo, Argentina.
(De Gruyter, 2006-12)
A new nematode species, Trichostrongylus duretteae sp. nov., found in the small intestine of Ctenomys talarum from Argentina is described. The new species more closely resembles T. suis Iwanitsky, 1930 a parasite of Sus ...
Energetics and thermoregulation during digging in the rodent tuco-tuco (Ctenomys talarum)
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2007-04)
For subterranean rodents, searching for food by extension of the tunnel system and maintenance of body temperature are two of the most important factors affecting their life underground. In this study we assess the effect ...
Nutritional responses to different diet quality in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (tuco-tucos)
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2007-08)
Nutritional response to different diet quality was examined in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (tuco-tuco). Animals maintained in captive conditions were fed with three plant species that differed in their fibre ...
Effects of contrasting demographic histories on selection at major histocompatibility complex loci in two sympatric species of tuco-tucos (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-02)
To explore the impact of history on selection and genetic structure at functional loci, we compared patterns of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) variability in two sympatric species of ctenomyid rodents with different ...
Heavy metals accumulation in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) from areas with different risk of contamination
(Inst Vertebrate Biology As Cr, 2010-07)
The objective of this work was to determine the concentrations of four heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Fe and Cu) in muscle and liver from the solitary subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum from natural dunes, cultivated area and ...
Phylogeography and population genetic structure of the Talas tuco-tuco (Ctenomys talarum): integrating demographic and habitat histories
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2013)
Variación estacional de la tasa metabólica de reposo en Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae): ausencia de efectos ambientalesSeasonal variation of resting metabolic rate in Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae): Absence of environmental effects
(Sociedad Argentina para el Estudio de los Mamíferos, 2014-12)
El género Ctenomys, roedores subterráneos endémicos de América del Sur, es un excelente modelo para evaluar la influencia de diversos factores sobre el metabolismo energético, en particular sobre la tasa metabólica de ...
