Microscopy of the umbilical cord of rock cavies—Kerodon rupestris Wied, 1820 (Rodenta, Caviidae)

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2013
ABSTRACTThe rock cavies (Kerodon rupestris) are rodents belonging to family Caviidae, with habitat restricted to northeastern Brazil. Current studies have shown that blood cord has stem and hematopoietic cells both with a high regenerative potential, microscopic studies about the description in rodents and other mammals are scarce.

Nuclear organization and morphology of cholinergic neurons in the brain of the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) (Wied, 1820)

Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2018
The aim of this study was to conduct cytoarchitectonic studies and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunohistochemical analysis to delimit the cholinergic groups in the encephalon of the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris), a crepuscular Caviidae rodent native to the Brazilian Northeast.

Vascular Organization of the Hystricomorph Placenta: a Comparative Study in the Agouti, Capybara, Guinea Pig, Paca and Rock Cavy

Placenta, 2004
The placental vasculature of five hystricomorph rodents was examined by latex injection of the blood vessels, immunohistochemistry and scanning electron microscopy of vessel casts. The pattern of branching of the vessels is described at the level of fine structure. The placenta is divided into lobes separated by interlobular trophoblast. Fetal arteries

Circadian rhythm of motor activity of the Brazilian rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) under artificial photoperiod

Biological Rhythm Research, 2006
Abstract Kerodon rupestris, a Brazilian caviidae rodent, lives in dry stony places. In a first experiment, seven animals were kept in LD (250:0 lux and 400:0 lux) during 40 days in each condition. In the second, four animals were kept in LD (470 lux: red dim light) for 47 days, then in LL (470 lux) for 18 days and in DD (red dim light) for 23 days ...

A cytoarchitectonic and TH-immunohistochemistry characterization of the dopamine cell groups in the substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area and retrorubral field in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris)

Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2014
The 3-hydroxytyramine/dopamine is a monoamine of the catecholamine group and it is a precursor of the noradrenaline and adrenaline synthesis, in which the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase acts as a rate-limiting enzyme. The dopaminergic nuclei retrorubral field (A8 group), substantia nigra pars compacta (A9 group) and ventral tegmental area (A10 group) are ...

Maternal and paternal care in the rock cavy,Kerodon rupestris, a South American hystricomorph rodent

Zoo Biology, 1986
AbstractThe maternal and paternal behavior ofKerodon rupestriswas examined. Quantitative differences between fathers and mothers and between mothers raising young with fathers present and with fathers absent were assessed. Growth rates of young raised by paired females and by lone females were compared.The male provides direct paternal care to the ...

Predation of Kerodon rupestris (Wied-Neuwied, 1820) (rock-cavy) by Herpailurus yagouaroundi (É. Geoffroy Saint- Hilaire, 1803) (jaguarundi) in the Brazilian Caatinga

Notas sobre Mamíferos Sudamericanos
No presente manuscrito, apresentamos o primeiro registro fotográfico conhecido de um evento de predação do mocó Kerodon rupestris por jaguarundi Herpailurus yagouaroundi no município de Várzea Nova, norte do estado da Bahia, Brasil. Estudos acerca da dieta do jaguarundi são escassos e, apesar de se presumir que jaguarundis se alimentem de mocós, esse é
