Fossil caries in a Pliocene rodent with a plausible instance of in situ preservation of bacterial remains [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
An interesting case of a caries-affected area where bacterial remains were plausibly preserved in situ was found in an isolated tooth of the Plio-Pleistocene dormouse Glis sackdillingensis (Rodentia, Gliridae).

Fast Compatibility Testing for Phylogenies with Nested Taxa [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Semi-labeled trees are phylogenies whose internal nodes may be labeled by higher-order taxa. Thus, a leaf labeled Mus musculus could nest within a subtree whose root node is labeled Rodentia, which itself could nest within a subtree whose root is labeled Mammalia.

A new Eliomys from the Upper Miocene of Spain and its implications for the phylogeny of genus [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper, we describe a previously unknown species of the glirid Eliomys from the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene Cabriel, Alcoy and Granada basins of southeastern Spain. Eliomys yevesi sp. nov.

Mus spretus (Rodentia: Muridae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2009
Mus spretus Lataste, 1883, is a small, wild (noncommensal) murine with a rounded muzzle and small eyes and ears. This species, commonly called the western Mediterranean mouse, is distributed throughout Portugal across all but the northern fringe of Spain into the southern region of France.

Fit of Fossils and Mammalian Molecular Trees: Dating Inconsistencies Revisited [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
Divergence time estimation requires the reconciliation of two major sources of data. These are fossil and/or biogeographic evidence that give estimates of the absolute age of nodes (ancestors) and molecular estimates that give us estimates of the relative ages of nodes in a molecular evolutionary tree. Both forms of data are often best characterized as

Comparison of Lagostomus maximus amelogenin gene (AMELX) with other mammals [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of this study was to compare the Lagostomus maximus AMEL sequence to assess their similarity with the AMEL genes from other mammals. Previously we reported a sequence of the AMEL gene of Lagostomus maximus which corresponds to the intron 3 of the

Molecular systematics of gerbils and deomyines (Rodentia: Gerbillinae, Deomyinae) and a test of desert adaptation in the tympanic bulla

, 2015
Recent molecular studies in gerbils found multiple instances of discordance between molecular and morphological phylogenies. In this study, we analyse the largest molecular data set to date of gerbils and their sister group the deomyines to estimate ...

The Role of Evolutionary Integration in the Morphological Evolution of the Skull of Caviomorph Rodents (Rodentia: Hystricomorpha)

Evolutionary biology, 2015
The mammalian cranium is a complex structure composed by three partially independent modules: face, cranial base and cranial vault. At the same time, it interacts with the mandible by sharing the masticatory function.
