A systematic review of agouti (Dasyproctidae: Dasyprocta) records from the pre‐1492 Lesser Antilles: New perspectives on an introduced commensal

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2021
AbstractThe agouti (Dasyprocta sp.), a medium‐sized neotropical rodent, was introduced by indigenous peoples to the Caribbean islands over a millennium ago and is recorded at archeological sites throughout the Lesser Antilles and southern Caribbean. Like many commensal fauna, these mammals are valuable proxies for deciphering ancient human practices ...

Characteristics of the Larval Echinococcus vogeli Rausch and Bernstein, 1972 in the Natural Intermediate Host, the Paca, Cuniculus Paca L. (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae)

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981
In Colombia, the natural intermediate host of Echinococcus vogeli Rausch and Bernstein, 1972 is the paca, Cuniculus paca L. (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae). The larval cestode develops in the liver of the host, where it usually is situated superficially, partly exposed beneath Glisson's capsule. The infective larva consists of a subspherical to asymmetrical,

Ethnohistoric Accounts as Valuable Resources for Deciphering Commensal Relationships of Pre-Contact Caribbean Agouti (Dasyproctidae: Dasyprocta )

Journal of Ethnobiology, 2021
The Neotropical rodent agouti ( Dasyprocta sp.), arguably one of the most prominent pre-Contact introduced commensals of the Lesser Antilles, has long been proposed as having been managed and maintained in captivity by Indigenous Caribbean groups. These claims, however, remain so far unsubstantiated.

Efficient Amplification of DNA from Ancient Caribbean Agouti (Dasyproctidae: Dasyprocta)

2021
The agouti was one of the many synanthropic species humans translocated to theCaribbean islands from South America by at least AD 35. Here, we apply a geneticcommensal model to the medium-size rodent agouti (Dasyprocta sp.) in order toexplore interactions among Indigenous peoples in the Caribbean and South America.26 cytochrome b gene (Cytb) fragments (
