Molecular phylogeny of the marmots (Rodentia: Sciuridae): tests of evolutionary and biogeographic hypotheses.
There are 14 species of marmots distributed across the Holarctic, and despite extensive systematic study, their phylogenetic relationships remain largely unresolved. In particular, comprehensive studies have been lacking. A well-supported phylogeny is needed to place the numerous ecological and behavioral studies on marmots in an evolutionary context. To address this situation, we obtained comp...
متن کاملPhylogeny 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...

15 صفحه اولThe geometry of the marmot (rodentia: sciuridae) mandible: phylogeny and patterns of morphological evolution.
Marmots have a prominent role in the study of mammalian social evolution, but only recently has their systematics received the attention it deserves if sociobiological studies are to be placed in a phylogenetic context. Sciurid morphology can be used as model to test the congruence between morphological change and phylogeny because sciurid skeletal characters are considered to be inclined to co...
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...
