Dental homologies and evolutionary transformations in Caviomorpha (Hystricognathi, Rodentia): new data from the Paleogene of Peruvian Amazonia
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-04)
Dental homologies and evolutionary transformations within caviomorph rodents have long been disputed. Here, we participate in these debates in providing new insights from the dental morphology of Paleogene caviomorphs from ...
Comparative neurobiology and genetics of mammalian social behavior
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016)
Despite advances in our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary factorsthat drive sociality, relatively little is known about the genetic and neurobiological mechanisms underlying group living. Decades of laboratory ...
Response to the comments on 'dental homologies and evolutionary transformations in Caviomorpha (Hystricognathi, Rodentia): new data from the Paleogene of Peruvian Amazonia'
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-11)
We offer brief commentaries on Boivin and Marivaux's account of caviomorph molar morphology and evolution. In accordance with Van Valen’s statement ‘Homology is resemblance caused by a continuity of information’, we reaffirm ...
Mammal occurrence and roadkill in two adjacent ecoregions (Atlantic Forest and Cerrado) in south-western Brazil
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia, 2010-10-01)
This paper examines the frequencies of mammal roadkill in two adjacent biogeographic ecoregions (Atlantic Forest and Cerrado) of Brazil. Mammals were recorded during a seven-year period and over 3,900 km of roads, in order ...

The tarsal-metatarsal complex of caviomorph rodents: Anatomy and functional-adaptive analysis
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-06)
Caviomorph rodents represent a major adaptive radiation of Neotropical mammals. They occupy a variety of ecological niches, which is also reflected in their wide array of locomotor behaviors. It is expected that this ...
Fractal dimension and cheek teeth crown complexity in the giant rodent Eumegamys paranensis
(Wiley, 2013-04)
In this work, we analyse cheek teeth crown complexity through the calculation of fractal dimension in the giant caviomorph rodent Eumegamys paranensis (Late Miocene of Argentina) and evaluate its functional significance. ...
