Octomys mimax (Rodentia: Octodontidae)
Octomys mimax O. Thomas, 1920, the viscacha rat, is a surface-dwelling rodent, endemic to the Monte biome of western Argentina. The genus Octomys is monotypic and represents a basal clade within the family Octodontidae. O. mimax is strictly herbivorous and is found in low-elevation arid environments characterized by galleries or rock formations. In these environments, O. mimax nests within rock...
متن کاملInflammatory Disease of the Temporal Bone of the Brush Tail Rat (Octodontomys Gliroides): A Radiologic-Clinical-Pathologic Correlation
It is well known that rodents are especially susceptible to diseases of the inner ear. This condition is suspected clinically when head tilt, weight loss, and/or staggering gait develop. Physical examination may be difficult due to the length and small diameter of the external auditory canal; moreover, the ear canal is frequently filled with cerumen. We have recently had the opportunity to radi...
متن کاملMorphology of the limbs in the semi-fossorial desert rodent species of Tympanoctomys (Octodontidae, Rodentia)
Here, a detailed description of the forelimbs and hindlimbs of all living species of the genus Tympanoctomys are presented. These rodents, highly adapted to desert environments, are semi-fossorial with capacity to move on the surface as well as to build burrows. The shape, structure, and size of the limbs are described. Contrary to what was expected for scratch digging semi-fossorial species, T...
متن کاملNucleolar organizer regions of the Indomalayan Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse Chiropodomys gliroides (Rodentia: Muridae)
The chromosome complement of Chiropodomys gliroides from Peninsular Malaysia consists of two pairs of nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) – the longest acrocentric pair and the small metacentric. The NORs in both pairs are located at the terminal end; in the long acrocentric at the end of the long arm. In the metaphases, at least one element in both pairs exhibited the presence of Ag-NOR activit...
متن کاملRecurrent amplifications and deletions of satellite DNA accompanied chromosomal diversification in South American tuco-tucos (genus Ctenomys, Rodentia: Octodontidae): a phylogenetic approach.
We investigated the relationship between satellite copy number and chromosomal evolution in tuco-tucos (genus Ctenomys), a karyotypically diverse clade of rodents. To explore phylogenetic relationships among 23 species and 5 undescribed forms, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b genes of 27 specimens and incorporated 27 previously published sequences. We then used quantitative ...
