There have been multiple published phylogenetic analyses of platyrrhine primates (New
World monkeys) using both morphological and molecular data, but relatively few that have …

Species delimitation studies based on integrating different datasets such as genomic,
morphometric, and cytogenetics data are rare in studies focused on Neotropical rodents. As …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) and genomic database mining allow biologists to gather
and select large molecular datasets well suited to address phylogenomics and molecular …

The South American Ctenomys is the most speciose genus among both hystricomorphs and
subterranean rodents of the world. Here, we present the most exhaustive phylogenies and …

Secondary aquatic vertebrates exhibit a diversity of swimming modes that use paired limbs
and/or the tail. Various secondarily aquatic tetrapod clades, including amphibians, reptiles …

Brain morphological variation is analysed through virtual endocasts in a highly diversified
clade of caviomorph rodents belonging to the family Echimyidae. Diversification in brain size …

The evolution of gigantic body size represents a key to understand the ecological role of
baleen whales in oceanic ecosystems. Many efforts have been devoted to the formulation of …

Rodents are the most diverse order of extant mammals, and caviomorph rodents, or New
World hystricognaths, have a remarkable morphological disparity and a long fossil record …

Abstract A Late Holocene (ca. 3,100 to 380 BP) sample of the viscacha rat genus Octomys
(Octodontidae) from the Vaquerías Gruta 1 site (VQ-G1) in western Argentina is reported …

Unravelling the evolutionary history of taxa requires solid delimitation of the traits
characterising these. This can be challenging especially in groups with a highly complex …
