The virtual brain endocast of Incamys bolivianus: insight from the neurosensory system into the adaptive radiation of South American rodents

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 3, May/June 2024.
Abstract Caviomorph rodents are endemic to South America and are one of the most adaptively diverse radiations of rodents today. Although their origin and diversification have been intensively studied, questions still remain about many of the details of where, when and how the group radiated.

Environmental and Anthropogenic Predictors Influence the Diversity of Nonflying Mammals in a Native Savanna Landscape of Northern South America

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The native savannas of eastern Colombia cover about six percent of the Neotropical savannas. Within these 17 million hectares, the current composition of nonflying mammals evidenced colonization from Andean, Guyanese, and Amazonian speciation centers and endemism processes.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Different antipredator responses by Microcavia australis (Rodentia, Hystricognate, Caviidae) under predation risk

Behaviour, 2008
[The antipredator response of rodents may depend on the species of predator and the structure of the vegetation. To investigate these effects, we compared the antipredator response of Microcavia australis to two predator models. We used two populations occurring at sites of the Monte desert that differ in plant structure and availability, and in ...
