Phylogeny of the Squirrels (Rodentia, Sciuridae)
A number of phylogenetic studies have been performed on the family Sciuridae. This work seeks to validate and extend existing phylogenetic studies of Sciuridae with an analysis of the divergence times of a selected set of species. A total of five genes; 2 mitochrontrial ribosomal RNA genes (12S, 16S), a mitochrontrial protein coding gene (cytb) and two nuclear genes (IRBP, RAG1) were studied ac...
متن کاملMesoamerican tree squirrels evolution (Rodentia: Sciuridae): a molecular phylogenetic analysis.
The tribe Sciurini comprehends the genera Sciurus, Syntheosiurus, Microsciurus, Tamiasciurus and Rheinthrosciurus. The phylogenetic relationships within Sciurus have been only partially done, and the relationship between Mesoamerican species remains unsolved. The phylogenetic relationships of the Mesoamerican tree squirrels were examined using molecular data. Sequence data publicly available (1...
متن کاملHelminths of Squirrels (Sciuridae) from Mongolia
introduction The geographic distribution of the long-tailed ground squirrel, Urocitellus undulatus (Pallas 1778) extends through a wide band of central Asia including suitable habitats in Kazakhstan across southern and eastern Siberia through Mongolia and into northern China (Tinnin et al. 2002). Although patchy in occurrence through this region, these squirrels are found in great abundance in ...
متن کاملTamias umbrinus (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
Tamias umbrinus Allen, 1890, a medium-sized chipmunk commonly called the Uinta chipmunk, is 1 of about 25 species of extant chipmunks. It is distributed in the western United States from southern Montana south to Arizona and from Colorado west to eastern California. T. umbrinus prefers montane and subalpine coniferous forest at elevations between 1,417 and 3,660 m. The species is listed as ‘‘Le...
متن کاملSpermophilus xanthoprymnus (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
Spermophilus xanthoprymnus (Bennett, 1835), the Asia Minor ground squirrel, is a group-living, diurnal, obligately hibernating marmotine squirrel. It inhabits the steppes and alpine meadows throughout central lowland and eastern highland Anatolia and adjacent Armenia and northwestern Iran. Its preferred elevation appears to range from about 800 to 2,900 m. The species displays sexual dimorphism...
