Variation in Chromosome Number within the Genus Ctenomys and Description of the Male Karyotype of Ctenomys talarum talarum Thomas

Nature, 1966
Ctenomys is a highly diversified polytypic genus of South American Caviomorph rodents, of the family Octodontidae. With their burrowing habits, the species of this genus, commonly named tuco-tucos, are the South American equivalent of the subterranean North American pocket gophers (family Geomyidae).

Implications of Hyperglycaemia and Cataract in a Colony of Tuco-tucos (Ctenomys talarum)

Nature, 1968
SPONTANEOUS diabetes mellitus occurs rarely in domestic animals1–2. It has been found in more than 10 per cent of individuals in captive colonies of the Egyptian sand rat (Psammomys obesus)3, the Israeli spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus)4, the Philippines tree shrew (Urogale everetti)5 and the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)6.

Reproductive parameters and growth in the fossorial rodent Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia: Octodontidae)

Mammalia, 1991
Une population de Ctenomys talarum a fait l'objet de captures-recaptures et de collecte sur un terrain d'etude a Mar del Cobo (Argentine) de juin 1985 a aout 1986. L'activite reproductrice commence en juin et se poursuit jusqu'en fevrier. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas eu de periode de pullulation nette, un pic de reproduction a ete constate depuis aout jusqu ...

Digestive strategies in the South American subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2008
Ctenomys talarum is a subterranean herbivorous rodent which due to its particular life style is frequently exposed to variations in surface environmental conditions (i.e. food quality and availability, temperature). Thus, unlike other subterranean rodents, C. talarum has to buffer both the surface and burrow challenging environmental conditions.

Diet effect on osmoregulation in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2019
Water conservation requires osmoregulatory skills, sometimes limited by the environment and/or physiological and behavioral characteristics acquired along the evolutionary history of the species. Fossoriality had probably emerged as a survival mechanism to face increasing aridity, as suggested for Ctenomys, a genus that radiated to different ...

Thermoregulatory development in pups of the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum

Physiology & Behavior, 2003
The effect of the mother's contact and huddling with nest mates on the mass-specific metabolic rate (RMR) and body temperature (T(b)) of pups of Ctenomys talarum from 2 to 45 days of age was evaluated at ambient temperatures (T(a)) within and below the adult thermoneutrality range (25 and 19 degrees C, respectively, the latter corresponding to the one ...

DNA fingerprinting reveals polygyny in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum

Molecular Ecology, 1999
AbstractDNA fingerprinting was used to characterize patterns of paternity in two populations of Ctenomys talarum from Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The multilocus probe PV47–2 was used to detect variation in genomic DNA extracted from 12 females, their 32 offspring, and 14 putative sires.
