The agouti (Dasyprocta sp.) is a hystricomorph rodent found in some regions of the Americas. It is an important cynegetic species, which indicates that the overhunting is a threat to their conservation. Very little is known about this wildlife in relation to what already has been studied in domestic animals.

Accounting for non‐random samples with distance sampling to estimate population density
When using landscape features as survey lines, the density gradient and deer distribution can introduce either positive or negative bias, which makes it impossible to assess the bias introduced without auxiliary data. The estimator we developed can improve precision because we obtained a better fit to distance observations and accounts for non‐random ...

The Agoutis: A Future Model for Ecologically Relevant Neuroscience and Physiology In Natura
Recent advances in behavioral monitoring and wireless physiology make neuroscience in the wild a viable option for larger animal models. Here we spotlight one such species, the agouti (Dasyprocta spp.) a large promising rodent model for the future of neuroscience in natura.

Folding of the cerebellar cortex is clade‐specific in form but universal in degree
York et al. show that the folding of the cerebellar cortex, likethe cerebral cortex, has recognizable, clade‐specific spatial patterns acrossclades, but scales universally in degree depending on its combination ofsurface area and thickness, as predicted from the physics of an expanding,self‐avoiding surface.

Morphological study of cecum from agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha) bred in captivity
A morfologia do ceco de cutia (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae) foi descrita neste trabalho, utilizando-se três fêmeas, adultas, criadas no Nú- cleo de Estudos e Preservação de Animais Silvestres da Universidade Federal do Piauí, Teresina, Piauí, Brasil. O intestino grosso dos animais foi identificado, o ceco foi dissecado, realizada a aná- lise anatômica e ...
