Postnatal development of subterranean habits in tuco-tucos Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia, Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae)
(Springer Tokyo, 2015-12)
Postnatal development of subterranean habits was investigated in Los Talas’ tuco-tuco Ctenomys talarum, a subterranean caviomorph rodent endemic from South America. Since in this species, some key morpho-functional traits ...
Entrainment of circadian rhythms to irregular light/dark cycles: A subterranean perspective
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-10)
Synchronization of biological rhythms to the 24-hour day/night has long been studied with model organisms, under artificial light/dark cycles in the laboratory. The commonly used rectangular light/dark cycles, comprising ...
Retinal photoreceptors of two subterranean tuco-tuco species (Rodentia, Ctenomys): Morphology, topography, and spectral sensitivity
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2010-10)
Traditionally, vision was thought to be useless for animals living in dark underground habitats, but recent studies in a range of subterranean rodent species have shown a large diversity of eye features, from small ...
Female choice, male dominance and condition-related traits in the polygynous subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
(Elsevier Science, 2017-09)
Ctenomys talarum is a solitary and highly territorial species in which dominant males aggressively deter other males and monopolize reproductive activity. Female preference for dominant males is not easy to assess due to ...
Copulatory pattern of the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
(De Gruyter, 2008)
Habitat use by colonial tuco-tucos (Ctenomys sociabilis): Specialization, variation, and sociality
(Oxford University Press, 2012-12)
Understanding habitat requirements has implications for numerous aspects of a species' biology, including where individuals live and how they behave. Specialization for mesic, resource-rich habitats known as mallines is ...
Thermogenic capacity in subterranean Ctenomys: Species-specific role of thermogenic mechanisms
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-02)
One way to understand ecological patterns of species is to determine their physiological diversity on a large geographic and/or temporal scales, in a context of hierarchical biodiversity framework. In particular, ...
Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys (Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae) follow the converse to Bergmann's rule
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2007-08)
Aim: We analysed body-size variation in relation to latitude, longitude, elevation and environmental variables in Ctenomys (tuco-tucos), subterranean rodents in the Ctenomyidae (Caviomorpha). We tested the existence of ...
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 ...
