Further support for a palaearctic origin of Leishmania

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
The fossil record and systematics of murid rodents, reservoirs of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Palaearctic, Oriental, African, Nearctic and Neotropical, strongly support a Palaearctic origin of Leishmania.

Geographic Variation in Cranial Morphology of the Southern Mountain Cavy, Microcavia australis (Rodentia, Caviidae): Taxonomic Implications, with the Description of A New Species [PDF]

, 2017
We analyzed the geographic variation in cranial morphology of the Southern Mountain Cavy, Microcavia australis, throughout of its distributional range. Our analysis allows us to recognize three geographically allopatric morphotypes.

Metabolic rates and thermoregulatory characteristics of Akodon azarae (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) [PDF]

Revista chilena de historia natural, 2000
En este trabajo fueron evaluadas, para Akodon azarae (Fisher 1829), la tasa metabolica basal (BMR) y de actividad diaria asi como la capacidad termorregulatoria y la posible existencia de torpor. La BMR no presento diferencias estadisticas con la esperada por la ecuacion de Kleiber asi como con la esperada para especies filogeneticamente relacionadas ...
