Limb bone stress in the mara dolichotis patagonum (Caviomorpha; caviidae; dolichotinae)
(Associazione Teriologica Italiana, 2020-03)
The mara Dolichotis patagonum (Caviomorpha, Caviidae) is probably the extant rodent with the most pronounced postcranial specializations for fast locomotion. When running the species can reach a speed of ~40 km/h. It has ...
Characterization and selection of microhabitat by Microcavia australis (Rodentia: Caviidae): first data in a rocky habitat in the Hyperarid Monte Desert of Argentina
(de Gruyter, 2014-12)
A rocky habitat, in its broadest sense, may be described as any locality that contains boulders, rocks, scree, pebbles, outcrops, cliffs, or caves. In these habitats, mammals find shelter sites that they use as nesting ...
Geographic Variation in Cranial Morphology of the Southern Mountain Cavy, Microcavia australis (Rodentia, Caviidae): Taxonomic Implications, with the Description of A New Species
(Academia Sinica, 2017-10)
We analyzed the geographic variation in cranial morphology of the Southern Mountain Cavy, Microcavia australis, throughout of its distributional range. Our analysis allows us to recognize three geographically allopatric ...
New fossil remains of Quaternary capybaras (Rodentia: Caviomorpha: Caviidae) from the intertropical region of Brazil: morphology and taxonomy
(Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2019)
Dense sampling provides a reevaluation of the southern geographic distribution of the cavies Galea and Microcavia (Rodentia)
(De Gruyter, 2015-05-13)
The southern distribution of the small cavies Galea leucoblephara and Microcavia australis is reviewed. It has been enriched through the addition of 36 new locality records for G. leucoblephara and 176 for M. australis. ...
Dietary overlap of coexisting exotic brown hare (Lepus europaeus) and endemic mara (Dolichotis patagonum) in Northern Patagonia (Mendoza, Argentina)
(De Gruyter, 2014-07)
Introduced brown hares are present across the distribution range of maras, which are endemic to Argentina’s open steppes. Food competition with exotic herbivores could be partially responsible for declines in mara populations. ...
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 ...
Functional morphology and fiber types of the masseter muscles of two caviomorph rodents with contrasting lifestyles, Ctenomys talarum (Ctenomyidae) and Cavia aperea (Caviidae)
(Wiley, 2021-04)
The aim of this work is the analysis of histochemical and morphometric properties of the masseter muscles of Ctenomys talarum and Cavia aperea. The former belongs to a subterranean rodent clade, Ctenomyidae, which has ...
