Functional and morphological divergence in the forelimb musculoskeletal system of scratch-digging subterranean mammals (Rodentia: Bathyergidae). [PDF]

J Anat
The muscles of scratch‐diggers (Bathyergus spp.) show a higher mechanical advantage for forelimb flexion and shoulder stabilization than tooth‐diggers. The glenohumeral and olecranon joints play fundamental roles as robust pivots to resist the action of larger muscles. Tooth‐diggers lacked some muscles aiding with elbow extension and humeral retraction,

First record of Chaetophractus villosus (Mammalia, Dasypodidae) in the late Pleistocene of Corrientes Province (Argentina) [PDF]

Revista del Museo de La Plata, 2013
Chaetophractus villosus is recorded from the Chapadmalalian (middle Pliocene) to present. This species shows one of the widest distributions of living dasypodids, but its current and past ranges do not include the provinces of the argentinean Mesopotamia

Chaetophractus villosus (Cingulata: Chlamyphoridae)

Mammalian Species, 2022
Abstract Chaetophractus villosus (Desmarest, 1804) is commonly known as the large hairy armadillo. It is one of two living species of Chaetophractus. Like all armadillos, it bears a dorsal carapace of ossified dermal scutes covered by epidermal scales. Dorsal hair is sparse, long, and black and brown.

Effects of harvesting and stubble management on abundance of pest rodents (Mus musculus) in a conservation agriculture system

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 4757-4764, December 2023., 2023
Conservation agriculture practices offer a low disturbance environment for pest rodents. A high proportion of house mice remained resident in cropping paddocks following reduced‐till harvesting practices. Postharvest habitat modification (stubble flattening) did not result in house mice vacating the paddock.

Cell adhesion and immune response, two main functions altered in the transcriptome of seasonally regressed testes of two mammalian species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 3, Page 231-244, May 2023., 2023
During seasonal testis regression in the Iberian mole, Talpa occidenctalis, and the Mediterranean pine vole, Microtus duodecimcostatus, a decrease in serum testosterone levels induces the loss of the cell adhesion between adjacent Sertoli cells (SCs), that implies the disassembly of the blood‐testis barrier, and between SCs and germ cells, that leads ...
