Geometric morphometrics throws light on evolution of the subterranean catfish Rhamdiopsis krugi (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Heptapteridae) in eastern Brazil
(The Linnean Society of LondonWest Sussex, 2014-10-20)
Rhamdiopsis krugi is a highly specialized troglobitic (exclusively subterranean) catfish from phreatic water bodies
of caves located within two separated metasedimentary basins in the region of Chapada Diamantina, Bahia ...
Does acclimation to contrasting atmospheric humidities affect evaporative water loss in the South American subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum?
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2016-09-27)
Water conservation is challenging for terrestrial life since water is continuously lost through respiration, excretion, and cutaneous evaporation. Total evaporative water loss (TEWL) is an important component of the water ...
Rehydration after water stress in forager workers of coptotermes gestroi (wasmann) (blattaria: rhinotermitidae)
(Entomological Soc Brasil, 2015-06-01)
Water maintenance is vital for termite survival under dry conditions, hence environment humidity is one of the most important factors that controls the distribution of Isoptera. To understand the dynamics of termite ...
The discovery of male Potiicoara brasiliensis (Crustacea, Spelaeogriphacea) with notes on biology and distribution
(MAGNOLIA PRESSAUCKLAND, 2012)
The male of Potiicoara brasiliensis is reported for the first time with evidence of sexual dimorphism. Male diagnostic characters are described and compared with the other three species of Spelaeogriphidae. Males present ...

Testing detection and discrimination of vegetation chemical cues in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
(Universita Degli Studi Di Firenze, 2010-07)
Previous studies on the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (tuco-tuco) have shown that this species has the ability to use olfaction to orient their digging while foraging. As a continuation of these works, we assess ...
Effect of ambient temperature on evaporative water loss in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-10)
Subterranean rodents face unique thermoregulatory challenges. Evaporative water loss (EWL) is a crucial mechanism for maintaining heat balance in endotherms subjected to heat stress but also leads to potential dehydration. ...
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 ...
