| new species of eimeria (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from thrichomys fosteri and clyomys laticeps (rodentia: echimyidae) of the brazilian pantanal. | the echimyid rodents thrichomys fosteri and clyomys laticeps are among the most commonly recorded small mammals in the pantanal wetland of brazil. these species play important ecological roles since they are the basis of the food chain of some predators and are parasitized by some pathogens. knowledge of the eimerians that parasitize echimyid rodents in brazil is absent, and only one report is available for south america. we therefore investigated parasitism by coccidians in the echimyids t. fos ... | 2017 | 28871424 |
| variation in the skull morphometry of four taxonomic units of thrichomys (rodentia: echimyidae), from different neotropical biomes. | the echimyid rodents of the genus thrichomys vary considerably in their behavior and feeding ecology, reflecting their occurrence in environments as different as the caatinga, cerrado, pantanal, and chaco biomes. while the genus was originally classified as monospecific, a number of thrichomys species have been recognized in recent decades, based on morphometric, cytogenetic, and molecular analyses. while thrichomys is well studied, the variation found in its cranial morphology is poorly underst ... | 2019 | 30747455 |
