Wild observation of infanticide and cannibalism by Azara’s Agouti (Dasyptocta azarae) (Mammalia: Dasyproctidae) in Paraguay

Ethology, 2019
AbstractInfanticide is the killing of infants by conspecifics, and may be direct or indirect; and parental or non‐parental. Explanations for such behaviours range from forcing females with young back into heat, resource recycling in times of shortage and elimination of competitors.

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 (
