Cranial morphological variation of Ctenomys lami (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) in a restricted geographical distribution [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2023 The relationship between chromosomal and morphological variation in mammals is poorly understood. We analyzed the cranial size and shape variation in Ctenomys lami concerning to the geographic variation in their chromosome numbers.

Investigating the evolutionary dynamics of diploid number variation in Ctenomys (Ctenomyidae, Rodentia) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyContrary to predictions from classical hybrid sterility models of chromosomal speciation, some organisms display high rates of karyotype variation. Ctenomys are the current mammals with the greatest interspecific and intraspecific chromosomal variation ...

Natural life cycle of Versteria cuja (Taeniidae) in Argentina and histopathology of metacestodiasis in intermediate hosts [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 Using morphological and molecular studies, the life cycle of Versteria cuja (Cestoda: Taeniidae) was elucidated, involving subterranean rodents (Ctenomyidae) as intermediate hosts, and the lesser grison, Galictis cuja (Mustelidae), as definitive host ...

Skull shape and size variation within and between mendocinus and torquatus groups in the genus Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) in chromosomal polymorphism context [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2018 We tested the association between chromosomal polymorphism and skull shape and size variation in two groups of the subterranean rodent Ctenomys. The hypothesis is based on the premise that chromosomal rearrangements in small populations, as it occurs in ...
