Social structure in Octodontid and Ctenomyid rodents
(Wolff J.O. & P.W. ShermanUniversity of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, 2007)
As evident from this review, comparative studies of octodontids and ctenomyids provide important opportunities to explore the adaptive bases for variation in rodent societies. In particular, the distinctive patterns of ...
Ontogenetic trajectories of key morphofunctional cranial traits in South American subterranean ctenomyid rodents
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2010-12)
Ontogenetic allometries of craniomandibular and dental features linked to digging were analyzed in 5 species of the South American subterranean rodent Ctenomys (tuco-tucos). With the exception of upper incisor procumbency, ...
Social structure in Octodontid and Ctenomyid rodentsRodent societies: an ecological and evolutionary perspective
(Wolff J.O. & P.W. ShermanUniversity of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, 2020)
Using stable isotopes to detect responses to environmental change in parapatric ctenomyid rodents
(American Society of Mammalogists, 2016)
Understanding how interspecific differences in a community play out in response to historical environmental changes provides a useful foundation for predicting the evolutionary and conservation outcomes of future changes ...
Ecological specialization and niche overlap of subterranean rodents inferred from DNA metabarcoding diet analysis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07-30)
Knowledge of how animal species use food resources available in the environment can increase our understanding of many ecological processes. However, obtaining this information using traditional methods is difficult for ...
The history of Ctenomys in the Fossil Record: A young radiation of an ancient family
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2021)
Ctenomyidae is a clade of South American hystricomorph rodents with a peculiar evolutionary history characterized by: strong morphological differentiation, i.e., modernization that took place in the late Miocene; extinction ...
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 ...
