A multi-scale distribution model for non-equilibrium populations suggests resource limitation in an endangered rodent. [PDF]
, 2014 Species distributions are known to be limited by biotic and abiotic factors at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Species distribution models, however, frequently assume a population at equilibrium in both time and space.

A higher-level MRP supertree of placental mammals [PDF]
, 2006 Background The higher-level phylogeny of placental mammals has long been a phylogenetic Gordian knot, with disagreement about both the precise contents of, and relationships between, the extant orders.

Chromosomal Relationships among Spiny Pocket Mice, Liomys (Heteromyidae), from Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 1999 This study focused on differentially stained karyotypes of the heteromyids Liomys pictus pictus, L. p. plantinarensis, L. spectabilis , and L. irroratus , and described their banding patterns of euchromatin and constitutive heterochromatin to decide if results fit expectations of chromosomal rearrangements leading to karyotypic evolution of the L ...

Mastozoología Neotropical, 2020 Abstract The tropical genus Heteromys includes 17 species that have undergone several taxonomic changes and have unclear interspecific limits. We compared the intraspecific, interspecific, and geographic variation in ten species of Heteromys using geometric morphometrics, and evaluated whether the genetic differences between the species were reflected ...

Molecular and Paleontological Evidence for a Post-Cretaceous Origin of Rodents [PDF]
, 2014 The timing of the origin and diversification of rodents remains controversial, due to conflicting results from molecular clocks and paleontological data. The fossil record tends to support an early Cenozoic origin of crown-group rodents.

Caching rodents disproportionately disperse seed beneath invasive grass
Ecosphere, 2016 Seed dispersal by caching rodents is a context‐dependent mutualism in many systems. Plants benefit when seed remaining in shallow caches germinates before being eaten, often gaining protection from beetles and a favorable microsite in the process ...

, 2020 Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

Microparasite species richness in rodents is higher at lower latitudes and is associated with reduced litter size [PDF]
, 2011 Parasite species loads are expected to be higher in the tropics and higher parasite species richness to have cumulative effects on host physiology or demography. Despite being regularly assumed or predicted, empirical evidence on specieslatitude patterns
