Use of Capybaras in Argentina

2012
Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) have been used in Argentina since pre-Columbian times as a source of hide, meat, and fat. Hide is the most valuable capybara by-product and, at present, represents the major hunting pressure for this species in the country.

On the atrophy of the internal carotid artery in capybara

Cell and Tissue Research, 2006
Capybara might be a useful model for studying changes in cerebral circulation as the natural atrophy of the internal carotid artery (ICA) occurs in this animal at maturation. In this study, confocal and electron microscopy combined with immunohistochemical techniques were applied in order to reveal the changes in morphology and innervation to the ...

Neurofibrillar bipolar cells in the capybara retina

Visual Neuroscience, 1996
AbstractUsing a reduced-silver neurofibrillar method, we stained a population of bipolar cells in the capybara retina. These cells are distributed throughout the retina following the same topography of other retinal cell classes as the A-type horizontal cells and ganglion cells.

Ambitious Capybara

2015
Capybara has allowed us to build complex and ambitious applications with the confidence that everything comes together in the user experience we're targeting. As the capabilities of the web have grown, interactions and behavior in our applications have become more complex and harder to test.

The Sustainable Management of Capybaras

2012
The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) has always been an important item in the diet of South American natives and subject to intensive hunting in Venezuela, Brazil, and Argentina since the nineteenth century. Commercial exploitation began in early twentieth century, especially in the Llanos of Venezuela (Fig. 17.1).

Capybara Digestive Adaptations

2012
Structural polymers of plants (mainly cellulose and hemicellulose) are possibly the most widely available sources of energy from primary producers for herbivores (Parra 1978). However, such highly fibrous diet components are extremely difficult to digest and, therefore, herbivores possess specific adaptations for the digestion of these materials.

Paleontology, Evolution and Systematics of Capybara

2012
Caviomorph rodents, the New World Hystricognathi, are one of the most noteworthy groups of mammals in South America. Isolated for more than 30 Ma, they have given rise to several extraordinary rodents including the pacas (Cuniculusspp.), cavies (Caviaspp.), vizcachas (Lagostomusspp.), agouties (Dasyproctaspp.), as well as two giants: Phoberomys, from ...
