Cytotaxonomy of Eurypyga helias (Gruiformes, Eurypygidae): First Karyotypic Description and Phylogenetic Proximity with Rynochetidae

The sunbittern (Eurypyga helias) is a South American Gruiformes, the only member of Family Eurypigidae. In most phylogenetic proposals, it is placed in a more distant position than other families of the so-called "core Gruiformes". Different studies based on molecular, morphological and biogeographical data suggest that the Eurypigidae is closely related to the kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus), the o...

Breeding Biology of the Sunbittern (Eurypyga Helias) in Costa Rica

The Sunbittern (Eurypyga hellas) inhabits tropical swamps and mountain streams from southern Mexico to Brazil. It is the sole member of the family Eurypygidae, one of several unusual and poorly studied gruiform families, and its breeding behavior is therefore of special interest. Although they frequently breed in captivity (Coimbra Filho 1965, Frith 1978, Wennrick 1981) and one nest in the wild...

Advances in cytogenetics of Brazilian rodents: cytotaxonomy, chromosome evolution and new karyotypic data

Rodents constitute one of the most diversified mammalian orders. Due to the morphological similarity in many of the groups, their taxonomy is controversial. Karyotype information proved to be an important tool for distinguishing some species because some of them are species-specific. Additionally, rodents can be an excellent model for chromosome evolution studies since many rearrangements have ...
