The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1970
The rodents have been generally regarded as basically herbivorous animals. A review of the literature of the natural history of the feeding habits of rodents shows many species in all major lines of rodent evolution to be, to a surprising degree, carnivorous, piscivorous, or insectivorous.

New endemic mammal species for Europe: Sciurus meridionalis (Rodentia, Sciuridae)
, 2017Combining genetic, morphological and geographical data, we re-evaluate Sciurus meridionalis , Lucifero 1907 as a tree squirrel species. The species, previously considered a subspecies of the Eurasian red squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris , is endemic to South ...

[Extract] Rodents (from the Latin rodere, meaning "to gnaw") are the largest mammalian order (40%),comprising nearly 2300 species. They are diverse and abundant, occurring in nearly every terrestrial environment on Earth, apart from Antarctica. Their habits extend from burrowing, hopping,and climbing to swimming, and they show great diversity in diet ...

Adaptive significance of coat colouration and patterns of Sciuromorpha (Rodentia)
, 2017An analysis on the adaptive meaning of coat colouration and colour patterns in Sciuromorpha, a successful group within rodents, was carried out. We ran analyses with and without taking into account the phylogeny of Sciuromorpha, by building up a ...

Arboreality in acacia rats (Thallomys paedulcus; Rodentia, Muridae): gaits and gait metrics
, 2017The acacia rat Thallomys paedulcus is a small arboreal rodent, extensively dependent on Acacia sp. trees. In order to understand the arboreal locomotor adaptations of the species, we examined their gaits in arboreal locomotion (i.e.

Identification of rodents is very difficult mainly due to high similarities in morphology and controversial taxonomy. In this study, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) was used as DNA barcode to identify the Murinae and Arvicolinae species ...

On the Rodentia of the Somerset Caves [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1870 H aving recently examined the collection of Rodentia from the Somerset Caves in the Taunton Museum, I find that several of the specimens cannot be referred to species which have hitherto been considered members of the fauna cotemporary with the Mammoth ( Elephas primigenius ) in Britain.
