The periodical formation of the vaginal closure membrane in guinea pigs is a regeneration process maintained by a special stem cell niche

In adult females of most hystricomorph rodents (animals in the suborder Hystricomorpha, such as guinea pigs), the vagina is open only during heat period; for the remainder of the estrous cycle, it is occluded by a structure resembling the human hymen ...

Ecological constraints drive social evolution in the African mole-rats

, 1997
The African mole-rats (family Bathyergidae) are subterranean hystricomorph rodents occurring in a variety of habitats and displaying levels of sociality which range from solitary to eusocial, making them a unique mammalian taxonomic group to test ...

A test of Allen’s rule in subterranean mammals: the genus Ctenomys (Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae)

, 2011
We tested the applicability of Allen's rule in 47 species and 32 unnamed forms (populations that are probably good species or undefined taxa within a superspecies or species group) of the South American subterranean Hystricomorph rodents of the genus ...

Comparative myology of the facial preorbital complex in some hystricomorphs (Hystricomorpha, Rodentia)

Proceedings of the Zoological Institute RAS
A comparative morpho-functional study of the preorbital facial muscles was conducted in three representatives of the suborder Hystricomorpha (Rodentia): Octodon degus (Octodontidae), Thrichomys apereoides (Echimyidae), and Chinchilla lanigera (Chinchillidae). In all studied species, this muscle complex is expressed much less strongly than in rodents of
