Filling phylogenetic gaps and the biogeographic relationships of the octodontidae (mammalia: hystricognathi)
(2016)
Endemic to South America, octodontid rodents are remarkable by being the only mammal taxa where allotetraploidy has been documented. The taxon's extensive morpho-physiological radiation associated to niche shifts has allowed ...
Morphological characteristics of the uterus and uterine cervix of the plains viscacha (Lagostoumus maximus)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-05)
The plains viscacha is a hystricognathi rodent with special reproductive characteristics. Despite poly‐ovulation of 800 oocytes, it generates a high embryonic mortality since from 10 to 12 implantations only one or two ...
New Palaeogene caviomorphs (Rodentia, Hystricognathi) from Santa Rosa, Peru: systematics, biochronology, biogeography and early evolutionary trends
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-05)
The origin and early evolution of South American rodents are ongoing subjects of debate. The caviomorphs of the Peruvian localities of Santa Rosa and Contamana are the oldest South American rodents so far known. The Santa ...
Integrative taxonomy of extant maras supports the recognition of the genera Pediolagus and Dolichotis within the Dolichotinae (Rodentia, Caviidae)
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2020-05)
The subfamily Dolichotinae (Rodentia, Caviidae) includes two living species (Dolichotis patagonum and D. salinicola) of cursorial, long-legged rodents that inhabit semiarid thorn scrubs and shrublands in southern South ...
A New Extinct Genus of Cavioidea (Rodentia, Hystricognathi) from the Miocene of Patagonia (Argentina) and the Evolution of Cavioid Mandibular Morphology
(Springer, 2011-01)
The family Caviidae is represented in modern faunas by cavies and maras, whereas the family Hydrochoeridae is represented by capybaras. The evolutionary origin of these families has been related to a diversity of plesiomorphic ...
Chromosomes and speciation in tuco-tuco (Ctenomys, Hystricognathi, Rodentia)Хромосомы и видообразование у туко-туко (Ctenomys, Hystricognathi, Rodentia)
(Institute of Cytology and Genetics of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016-09)
Tuco-tucos, South American rodents of the genus Ctenomys represent an interesting model of speciation. Their strict territorial and solitary life under the earth, vast but highly fragmented habitats, low migration activity ...
