Three Decades of Subterranean Acoustic Communication Studies
(Springer, 2018)
The subterranean environment has strongly influenced the evolution of the sensory biology of subterranean rodents. While dark and monotonous tunnels have led to reductions in the visual capabilities of some species, other ...
Day and night in the subterranean: measuring daily activity patterns of subterranean rodents (Ctenomys aff. knighti) using bio-logging
(Oxford University Press, 2019-09)
While most studies of the impacts of climate change have investigated shifts in the spatial distribution of organisms, temporal shifts in the time of activity is another important adjustment made by animals in a changing ...
Laboratory Assessment of two Active Ingredients for Control of Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
(California State University, 2009-01-01)
The subterranean termite Coptotermes gestroi Wasmann (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a pest of major economic importance in urban environments of southeastern Brazil. Compared to using pesticides for termite control, termite ...
Telling the Seasons Underground: The Circadian Clock and Ambient Temperature Shape Light Exposure and Photoperiodism in a Subterranean Rodent
(Frontiers Media, 2021-10-01)
Living organisms anticipate the seasons by tracking the proportion of light and darkness hours within a day—photoperiod. The limits of photoperiod measurement can be investigated in the subterranean rodents tuco-tucos ...
Rhythmic 24 h Variation of Core Body Temperature and Locomotor Activity in a Subterranean Rodent (Ctenomys aff. knighti), the Tuco-Tuco
(Public Library Of Science, 2014-01)
The tuco-tuco Ctenomys aff. knighti is a subterranean rodent which inhabits a semi-arid area in Northwestern Argentina. Although they live in underground burrows where environmental cycles are attenuated, they display ...
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 ...
High cellulolytic activities in filamentous fungi isolated from an extreme oligotrophic subterranean environment (Catao cave) in Brazil
(Acad Brasileira De Ciencias, 2019-01-01)
Isolation and screening of new fungal strains from extreme and understudied environments. such as caves, is a promising approach to find higher yields enzyme producers. Cellulolytic fungal strains isolated from a Brazilian ...
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, ...
