Ecological and phylogenetic dimensions of cranial shape diversification in South American caviomorph rodents (Rodentia: Hystricomorpha)
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11)
Caviomorph rodents represent an excellent model to explore morphological diversification on a macroevolutionary scale, as they are ecologically and morphologically diverse. We analysed cranial shape variation using geometric ...
Late middle Miocene caviomorph rodents from Tarapoto, Peruvian Amazonia
(Public Library of Science, 2021)
Miocene deposits of South America have yielded several species-rich assemblages of caviomorph rodents. They are mostly situated at high and mid- latitudes of the continent, except for the exceptional Honda Group of La ...
Large caviomorph rodent footprints of the Late Oligocene Vinchina Formation, Argentina
(Coquina Press, 2011-07)
Footprints and trackways provide valuable information about trackmaker behaviour, locomotion, spatial and temporal distribution, among others. Here we describe tetradactyl mammalian footprints and trackways recorded in ...
Diversification patterns and size evolution in caviomorph rodents
(Oxford University Press, 2017-08)
Caviomorph rodents are one of the most diverse mammalian groups in the Neotropics; they display astonishing eco-morphological variation, including unparalleled size range. Here we analyse evolutionary patterns among extant ...
