Phylogenomics of sigmodontine rodents (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae): Cloud forests and Pliocene extinction explain the timing and spread of an iconic South American radiation. [PDF]
PLoS ONEStudies of biotic radiations following geographic invasions often overlook the potential role of subsequent climatic, biotic, and geologic triggers, instead focusing largely on the earliest stage of an invasion.

The importance of the Andes in the evolutionary radiation of Sigmodontinae (Rodentia, Cricetidae), the most diverse group of mammals in the Neotropics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Andean mountains stand out for their striking species richness and endemicity that characterize many emblematic Neotropical clades distributed in or around these mountains.

First mitochondrial genome of the Amazonian marsh rat Holochilus sciureus Wagner 1842 (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The Amazonian marsh rat, Holochilus sciureus, is a member of the subfamily Sigmodontinae, the second-largest subfamily of muroid rodents, with 410 species and ca. 84 genera in 12 tribes.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 18676-18690, December 2021., 2021 We explored whether evolution is faster at ecotone zones by developing three new tip‐based metrics — a species‐specific characterization of trait evolution — and spatializing them at the species‐assemblage level. We showed that evolution's speed — in terms of rates and time of diet transition — varies over space, with ecoregion ecotones having species ...

Deciphering the Hantavirus Host Range Combining Virology and Species Distribution Models with an Emphasis on the Yellow Pygmy Rice Rat (<i>Oligoryzomys flavescens</i>). [PDF]
Transbound Emerg Dis, 2023 Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.

The emergence of a new sex-system (XX/XY1Y2) suggests a species complex in the “monotypic” rodent Oecomys auyantepui (Rodentia, Sigmodontinae) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 X-autosome translocation (XY1Y2) has been reported in distinct groups of vertebrates suggesting that the rise of a multiple sex system within a species may act as a reproductive barrier and lead to speciation. The viability of this system has been linked

Rodentolepis microstoma isolated from different species of Sigmodontinae rodents (Rodentia: Cricetidae) in the Cuenca del Plata, Argentina: Morphological aspects and molecular characterization [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 The purpose of this paper was to study specimens of the genus Rodentolepis isolated from eight species of Sigmodontinae rodents (Rodentia: Cricetidae) from six provinces in the Cuenca del Plata, Argentina, based on morphological, morphometric and ...

Oecomys catherinae (Sigmodontinae, Cricetidae): Evidence for chromosomal speciation? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Among the Oryzomyini (Sigmodontinae), Oecomys is the most speciose, with 17 species. This genus presents high karyotypic diversity (2n = 54 to 2n = 86) and many taxonomic issues at the species level because of the presence of cryptic species and the ...

Comparative genomic mapping reveals mechanisms of chromosome diversification in Rhipidomys species (Rodentia, Thomasomyini) and syntenic relationship between species of Sigmodontinae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Rhipidomys (Sigmodontinae, Thomasomyini) has 25 recognized species, with a wide distribution ranging from eastern Panama to northern Argentina. Cytogenetic data has been described for 13 species with 12 of them having 2n = 44 with a high level of ...

Species Limits and Hybridization in Andean Leaf-Eared Mice (<i>Phyllotis</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolDiversification of Phyllotis coincided with mid‐ to late‐Pleistocene climate change. Species delimitation revealed cryptic diversity within several nominal forms. Genomic analyses revealed evidence for introgressive hybridization. ABSTRACT Leaf‐eared mice (genus Phyllotis) are among the most widespread and abundant small mammals in the Andean Altiplano,
