Heteromyinae Gray 1868

, 1993
Subfamily Heteromyinae Gray, 1868. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1868:201. COMMENTS: Contains the Recent genera Heteromys and Liomys, following Wood (1935), Wahlert (1985), and Ryan (1989a). However, a review of the generic limits is warranted since biochemical data (Rogers, 1990) suggested that Heteromys as currently defined is paraphyletic relative to ...

Collared Peccary Wallows are Hubs of Animal Activity and Diversity in a Central American Wet Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Collared peccary wallows are used by a diverse assemblage of vertebrates in a Central American tropical wet forest. Wallows had significantly higher vertebrate activity and diversity compared to surrounding forest. Wallow visitors included 13 amphibian, 2 reptile, 11 bird, and 16 mammal species, engaged in behaviors including reproduction, drinking ...

Unraveling abundance from occurrence: Modeling an endangered rodent population with low capture probability. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Predicting population abundance while accounting for uncertainty is an essential task for managers of endangered species but is often hindered by the challenge and expense of comprehensive data collection. Many traditional methods for estimating abundance of rare or elusive species are costly and logistically difficult, with occupancy‐based ...

ZOONOTIC PARASITES AND MICROMAMMALS IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA, MEXICO: CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE CCBA-UADY

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021
Background. Micromammals are reservoirs of zoonotic parasites such as viruses, bacteria, protozoans and helminths. Objective. To present a review of the published literature on the study of zoonotic (or potential zoonotic) parasites of micromammals in ...

Global Prevalence and Subtype Distribution of Blastocystis sp. in Rodent Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Overall, 16% of rodents worldwide were infected with Blastocystis sp. (95% CI: 12.6%–20.2%). Rodents host various Blastocystis sp. subtypes (STs), including ST1‐ST8, ST10, ST13, ST15 and ST17. The most commonly reported STs in rodents globally were ST4, ST5, ST1 and ST3.

Springing into action: Comparing escape responses between bipedal and quadrupedal rodents. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The findings of this study suggest that enlarged hindlimbs improve escape performance by allowing rodents to more efficiently utilize vertical jumping as an antipredator escape response. Abstract Predation is a fundamental selective pressure on animal morphology, as morphology is directly linked with physical performance and evasion. Bipedal heteromyid

Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

The endemic insular and peninsular species Chaetodipus spinatus (Mammalia, Heteromyidae) breaks patterns for Baja California. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The Baja California peninsula is the second longest, most geographically isolated peninsula on Earth. Its physiography and the presence of many surrounding islands has facilitated studies of the underlying patterns and drivers of genetic structuring for ...
