| chromosomal phylogeny of muridae: a study of 10 genera. | the karyotypes of 10 different species of the family muridae (acomys airensis, arvicanthis niloticus, hylomyscus stella, malacomys longipes, mastomys huberti, myomys daltoni, mus musculus, rattus norvegicus, thamnomys gazellae, and uranomys ruddi) are compared by different banding techniques. from a reconstruction of the presumed ancestral karyotype of the muridae the sequence of the various rearrangements leading to the present karyotypes is proposed in order to determine their phylogenetic rel ... | 1983 | 6617265 |
| effects of anthropogenic and demographic factors on patterns of parasitism in african small mammal communities. | habitat disturbance often results in alterations in community structure of small mammals. additionally, the parasites harboured by these small mammals may be impacted by environmental changes or indirectly affected by changes in available hosts. to improve our understanding of this interplay, we examined the patterns of parasitism in small mammal communities from a variety of habitats in forested uganda. small mammals were collected from areas experiencing variable habitat disturbance, host dens ... | 2015 | 25262668 |
| new species and new records of mites of the family myocoptidae (acariformes: sarcoptoidea) from african rodents. | eleven species of myocoptid mites (acariformes: myocoptidae) are recorded from african rodents. among them, three species are described as new for science: myocoptes lophuromys sp. nov. from lophuromys woosnami thomas, 1906 (rodentia: muridae) from uganda, trichoecius hylomyscus sp. nov. from hylomyscus anselli bishop, 1979 (rodentia: muridae) from tanzania (type host and locality) and hylomyscus stella (thomas, 1911) from gabon, and trichoecius faini sp. nov. from hylomyscus arcimontanus carlto ... | 2016 | 27986872 |
