Abstract The genus Ctenomys Blainville, 1826 is, with 64 living species, one of the most
species-rich genera of Mammalia. In this chapter, structured in two main sections, we …

The evolution of high-crowned teeth, hypsodonty, is a defining characteristic of many
terrestrial herbivores. To date, the most prominent focus in the study of the teeth of grazing …

To examine the evolution of burrowing specializations in the sister families Octodontidae
and Ctenomyidae (Rodentia: Caviomorpha), we produced a synthetic phylogeny …

The genus Ctenomys is represented by 68 species within at least 9 species groups. In
Patagonia, there are 11 described species of Ctenomys in 3 phylogenetic species …

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 …

The subterranean rodent Ctenomys is the most polytypic South American mammal genus
and one of the most speciose and rapidly diversifying mammal genera in the world. Its …

The key role of the skull in food intake and processing implicates its morphology should be
to some extent adapted to the functional demands present in different diets, while also …

The genus Ctenomys includes a high number of taxa, with at least ten species from
Patagonia and three recently described species for northeastern Chubut Province …

Understanding how organisms adapt to aridity is a central theme in traditional desert
ecology research. However, many of the pioneering studies were conducted before detailed …

We conduct a systematic review of the extinct robust species of Ctenomys from the Early-
Middle Pleistocene of central Argentina to assess the systematic status of† Ctenomys …
